  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Cut yourself 9 lengths of strings about a meter long and tie them together with a knot at one end.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Hold the pieces of string in groups of 3 and braid as if you were braiding hair.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Every so often tie a knot leave about a fingers width of string and then knot again to create little loops. These will be what you tie the garlic to later.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Braid to the end and finish off with a knot at the bottom.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Make 2 more of these.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Tie them together with a knot at one end.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    Braid these together like you did in the first part. Don't try to make loops with these it would be far too difficult.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    Find some garlic with longs stalks.

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    Tightly tie the string around the garlic until it is secure. Leave long tails at either side of the knot.

  10. Step 10

    Step 10

    Using the tails on the garlic knot secure the garlic to the string. Place the stalk through one of the loops you made and tie the tails at either side.

  11. Step 11

    Step 11

    Be creative with your composition of vegetables. Add chillies and onions if you like. These will dry up after a few weeks and will be delicious for cooking (or daring your friends to eat raw).

  12. Step 12

    Step 12

    Hang your completed string in your kitchen next to a window that gets a lot of light. This will help dry out your vegetables and garlic quicker.
