How to air-dry flowers

Four methods of making dried flowers:

1, the most retro air drying method: inverted air drying.

Tie the flowers into a bunch, then tie them with a rubber band and hang them in a well-ventilated and dark place. In a few weeks, the bouquet will turn into beautiful dried flowers.

2, the fastest air drying method: microwave drying.

This seemingly cruel method is actually the fastest way to dry flowers. Put the flowers in a special bowl for microwave oven and cover with about 4 cups of borax. Turn to high heat for two to three minutes. After the borax cools, gently brush off the remaining sand on the flowers.

3, the best method: silica gel air drying.

If you want dried flowers to look like flowers just picked from the garden, try this method. You can buy this sand-like substance in a handicraft shop, put it in a container, and then bury the flowers that need to be treated and wait for about 2-3 days. Although the flowers are dry, you will find that they are still full of vitality.

4, the most popular air drying method: let it stay in the bottle.

Prepare a tall vase, put a little water, put the flowers in it, and then put it in a ventilated place. After the water evaporates, the flowers can remain tall and straight.

Dried flowers are flowers that are quickly dehydrated by desiccants. This kind of flower can keep its original color and shape for a long time. Dried flowers can be divided into leaf vein dried flowers and grass sticky dried flowers. Vein dried flower is the color painting and modeling of meridians or petals extracted from natural plant leaves by extracting essential oil or processing.
