Czech DIY Guide Shows How to Make Scented Herb Angel

A step‑by‑step guide explains how to turn an empty egg‑cardboard cup into a fragrant decorative angel that can last through winter. The craft uses dried herb clusters such as agastache (Agastache foeniculum), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and basil (Ocimum basilicum), along with simple materials like twine, paint and a small pistol for shaping.

Separate advice details the correct method for drying lavender to preserve its colour and aroma. The key points are to avoid direct sunlight, use loosely packed bundles, harvest stems at the bud stage or early bloom, and ensure good airflow to prevent mold. Following these tips keeps the lavender’s scent strong for use in home décor or scented sachets.
