Not much, my friend. A pair of scissors will be your best friend here. You’ll also need some natural cotton or hemp twine—no plastic crap, please.
Then, the star of the show: dried herbs. You can use garden herbs or the stuff from the bulk bin at the store. No judgment.
Classic choices are white sage, rosemary, and lavender. But honestly? Use whatever smells good to you. Mint, thyme, even a little dried oregano.
Gathering Your Herbs: The Wild Card
If you have a garden, go snip some stems. Cut them in the morning when the dew is gone, but the sun isn’t scorching yet. The plants are happier then.
If you’re buying dried herbs, get the whole leaf kind—not the powdery spice jar stuff. You need stems and structure, not dust.
Mix them up for personality. A little sage for tradition, a little rosemary for memory, and a pinch of lavender so your house doesn’t smell like a salty bistro.
