Hanging Herb Dryer

I came across this interesting herb dryer that my mother made in the kitchen and thought it would be nice to share it with you guys! The directions I give you might not be exact because I did not help with this project nor did I see her make it.


Items:
- Wood board
- Door Knobs
- Twine
- Paint (optional)
- Drill
- Hooks

Directions:

  1. You can paint the wood board if you choose to but this step is optional
  2. Drill the door knobs into the wood however you would like.
  3. Drill hooks into the top right and left corners of the wood.
  4. Cut a long strand of twine and tie each end to the hooks.
  5. Either find an available nail on your wall or hammer one in and took the herb dryer on to it.
  6. Cut three strands of twine and tie your wet herb to each knob.

Where To Buy DIY Supplies?

I prefer to get my DIY supplies at the cheapest price. I normally make a stop at Walmart if I'm in need of some quick supplies such as Mason Jars paint, etc. When it comes to finding objects such as ping pong balls, I couldn't find them in any store near me. I get most of my supplies from Amazon because I earn several Amazon gift cards from online sites. I end up spending less on there than I would at an art store such as Michael's. You can check previous posts to see how you can earn money or gift cards online or on your phone!
