You know when you really mean it; when you genuinely give from your heart and share yourself with someone you care about. When you have handmade a gift to share, the recipient knows they matter to you. After all, what is more valuable to us all than our time? Best of all, this is a very quick, simple and affordable gift to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is a clever way to give your home-grown herbs to friends in this holiday season. Yours will be the gift that keeps on giving! It will not only look charming in presentation and decoration but the smells will be wonderful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Supplies\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Handful of fresh herbs.

Use a chopstick to gently nudge it into the ball. Less is more with these herbs. You want some of the glass to show through the ball to accentuate your herb, the star of the show!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you like the arrangement, place the metal hanging cap back on top of the ball.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To add your fabric embellishment simply remove the hanging ring from the metal ornament cap and place fabric over top. Insert the ring through the fabric and into the cap ring holes. This will ensure that the fabric stays in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tie a bow around the metal cap or fabric covering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thread the ribbon\/raffia through the hanging ring.
