All of your plants should be in the same place.There are Stems on one end.There are flowers or leaves on the other.Take them into a bundle that is about an inch in diameter.
Take a few feet of twine, string, or yarn and wind it tightly around the herbs, starting with a small amount of loose string at one end.If you want to make a criss-cross pattern, cross over back to the stem end.Tie it tightly because the plants will shrink while drying.
Take a few tight turns around the bundle and tie off the loose end with a small amount of string.
