Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving celebrations are stressful enough as it is with food prep. That is, after all, the main focus of the gathering... I mean, besides the loved ones you are with;) So I wanted to share how one gorgeous garland can elevate a simple bar cart from plain to festive. Plus the fact that this smells amazing doesn't hurt!

You'll need lots of herbs (I used rosemary, basil, sage, dill and thyme. I also threw in some sturdy branches to help stabilize the garland), scissors and floral wire.

Create a stable base for your garland by using the branches i mentioned, or starting with thick herbs like rosemary. Start at one end, wrapping it in wire. Continue with one piece of wire and overlap your herbs until you have a strand long enough to stretch the length you need.

Once you have your garland assembled and displayed, I recommend going back and tucking in the more delicate herbs like the dill and basil. Fill in any holes and add fullness with these.
