I am having a wonderful time figuring out how to repurpose things in my house! This framed chicken wire was a christmas gift from my sister two years ago. It was meant to hang pictures on (which I did for awhile) however I took them off, meaning to change them for new ones, but then for the past year it has hung empty of anything. How sad!

But now look how useful it has become! I recently purchased some plants that I plan to dry and make witchy tub tea with. It was a perfect tool to allow me to hang them to dry. Here are a few tips when drying herbs:

Drying herbs: 

Only tie together 5-6 stems in order to allow good air circulation.
Could take 1-3 weeks to fully dry (depending on humidity)
Larger leaves should be brittle before you take them down. But keep them in big pieces to retain as much of their scent as possible.
Only store in paper bags or glass jars. Do not store in plastic bags as it can lead to condensation.
For the larger leaves, only crumble when you are ready to use them, to release their essence.
