Make a Garlic
Braid
skill level: medium
cost: under
$5
craft time: 10 minutes plus drying time
12 garlic bulbs or more
with the tops still attached
baling twine or soft jute parcel post string,
cut into a 4 to 6 foot length
have on
hand
scissors
Start with three of your twelve garlic
bulbs.
Use one end of twine to securely tie together the stems.
Begin
braiding the stems as you would hair for pigtails, working the twine as a unit
with one of the stems.
After making several crosses, begin adding additional
garlic bulbs, taking care to space them evenly. You'll be combining several
stems into one section of the braid; no one stem will extend for the entire
length of the braid.
Use the twine to make a loop at the end of the braid for
hanging.
Hang the braid in an airy, dry, shaded, place for two
weeks.
Check to see if the tops are completely dry. If not, allow them to
hang there longer until the tops are completely dry.
