- Fragrant trimmings
- Twine
- Ribbon
Gather fresh trimmings that are fragrant, like mint or lavender.
Tie with twine. Wrap the twine up and down the bunch.
Tie off the twine at the bottom, to keep the plant material in a nice bundle.
Let them dry in a warm place with nice airflow for a few days to a week.
Trim them into smaller bundles after they've dried.
Gather several into a big bundle and tie them up with a pretty bow to give to a fire loving friend.
