How to make dried flowers

Drying with desiccant: cut the half-opened bud with pedicle, put it in a plastic box, then bury it with desiccant and put it in a warm environment. Air drying in convection oven: cut flowers with branches, fix them on barbed wire, then put them in the oven and bake at 38 degrees. Natural air drying: tie the flowers into bouquets and hang them upside down in a ventilated place.

How to make dried flowers 1, drying with desiccant

When using desiccant to make dried flowers, we should choose half-opened flower buds as raw materials, cut them from pedicels, then put them into plastic packaging boxes, then pour desiccant such as borax, fine sand and silica gel into the boxes to completely bury the flower buds, and finally put the plastic boxes in a warm and dry environment to wait for the moisture in the flower buds to be absorbed by the desiccant.

2, convection oven air drying

Select blooming flowers, cut off their branches, then cut off the redundant leaves on the branches, cut the branches into 10 cm, then insert the trimmed branches with iron wires, put them on the grill, adjust the temperature to 38 degrees, and bake them at low temperature for several hours to make dried flowers.

Step 3 air dry naturally

In the process of making dried flowers, you can tie every ten selected flowers into a bunch, then hang them upside down in a dry, warm and ventilated environment, and wait for a week to make dried flowers. Note that this method is suitable for long sunny days, so as to avoid excessive humidity in rainy days, which will lead to moldy flowers.
