Herbal Crafting Corner with Kami

Crafting with herbs is healing and enjoyable. These herbal crafting projects are great to do with kids and are also a soothing way to end the day for anyone of any age. I love pulling out my little craft basket of herbs and fabric and using it as a way to clear my mind and release the day.
  
I rounded up several of my herbal crafting tutorials and put them here all in one place. Use them for homeschooling projects or as a way to reduce stress. Creative, fun and healing, I hope you enjoy your herbal crafting!

Lavender Heart Tutorial

At the end of the day, I get out my little basket of hearts and start sewing. It’s the way I tell my body that we are done for the day. Moving the needle back and forth through the fabric, my mind starts to let go.
 
The oils from handling the lavender enter my blood stream through the skin and I start to relax and soon the to-do list that seems to occupy my brain just drains away.

This project is also a good homeschool project. Adding herbs to craft projects is a great way to introduce kids to herbs.

Making Medicinal Wreaths

Let’s talk about the medicinal benefits of many of our wreath ingredients. This lesson was shot as a live stream, so it isn’t the best video quality in the world, but it’s worth a watch. I guide you step by step in how to make a wreath and the healing qualities that your wreath can add to your home environment.

In this lesson we use redwood, pine, bay and eucalyptus. Other wreath materials that you may find in your area are: Any evergreen, rosemary, sage, oregano, cypress, cedar, spruce, yarrow, oak leaves, willow.
