The Garlic Braid Is Probably The Best Garlic Craft

The most fun is growing your own garlic and making your braid with them. Garlic is very easy to grow and you can just keep growing them year after year and making your braids.

They look so nice hanging in your kitchen. Garlic braids will last for a long time if used as a decoration. However the garlic will dry out, so if you want to use it in your cooking just start at the bottom and take what you need.

Braiding garlic is easy, and it's the perfect way to preserve garlic. A braid typically consists of between ten and twenty cloves of garlic with their stems braided together. It is important to use garlic fresh from the garden with the tops still attached. Rinse the plants off, and choose the fullest heads for a better-looking braid. You can use smaller heads when you start the braid and then gradually get bigger.

How To Make A Garlic Braid

Use the twine to make a hook at the end of the braid for hanging. Hang the garlic braid to dry.

To make the garlic braid really special for a gift, I glue dried flowers at the top and add a pretty country bow, or a color to match their decor.
