Do you love fresh herbs but have no way to dry them? If so, you need to give these magnetic herb drying clips a try. You can make your own, perfect for hanging herbs on right in your own kitchen. You only need a few supplies, and the end result is a great way to enjoy herbs all season long. Here is how you can get started.
Supplies Needed:
- Clothespins
- Ribbon
- Flower Embellishments
- Hot Glue, Glue Gun
- Magnetic Strips
Directions:
- Begin by cutting a length of ribbon to fit the clothespin. Apply and attach with glue.
- Add some flare to the end of the clothespin. We used small flowers found in the dollar section of our local craft store.
- On the back of the clothespin, add a piece of magnetic strip. Just cut a piece to fit, add a dab of glue, and press until secure.
- Take your freshly picked herbs and clamp them inside of the clothespin. Attach the clothespin to your fridge allowing the herbs to hang down.
Your herbs will naturally dry out and preserve over time. When you need them, it is as simple as taking them from the clothespin and crushing them up. Easy peasy!
Gather your supplies and give these easy magnetic herb drying clips a try! They are a great way to dry out those fresh herbs and always have them when you need them.
