Some of you already know, but I’ve been in the process of drying and harvesting my lavender ([more pics in this discussion here](https://forum.spells8.com/t/drying-herbs-what-are-your-favorite-methods/25121)). I decided to make a lavender wreath! It took significantly more time than I thought it would (and a _lot_ more lavender- twice as much as I had planned for! 😂) but I’m happy with how it turned out. ![IMG_20220714_112336](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/3/c3cb0777b655b4d0f6c3960393d6fb7eead9fee7.jpeg) I ended up just using the smaller vine wreath- I imagine the larger size would have taken me all day to do! ![IMG_20220714_114003](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/9/a970daad874a42e339acf0d302ea64512ff9f7c1.jpeg) I started with wrapping individual bundles and attaching them one by one, but it worked better when I placed the stalks directly on the base and then wrapped one to two times around them. ![IMG_20220714_120818](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/2/1/21ac3986e2c5b6d3c9993bd4f70563fd8fa64848.jpeg) Ta-dah! I haven’t decided if I’ll leave it to dry (it’s sure to fall apart a bit during the drying process) or to spray a sealer on it to preserve it for longer- it would keep the color and last much longer, but would hide the scent and mean I can’t use the buds for anything afterwards. Choices, choices. ![IMG_20220714_121042](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/3/e/3e3d84ce83493f11ad3801180c28cf42e4206953.jpeg) For now, it’s hanging on the door 😊 Blessed be! 💜 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-handcrafting/25298)._
