For beginners try to drying a bunch of hydrangeas (4-5 stems)
Step 1 Cut: Make sure there is no dew on the flower petals if your cutting them from your garden. Using pruners, cut the stem at an angle allowing about 12” of stem Step 2 Dry the flowers in a vase with several inches of water to preserve its colour. Do not over crowd the vase . Allow each stem some space to breath Step 3 Allow each stem to dry. Let the water dry up naturally in the vase. Dried flowers should take up to 2 weeks. The petals should feel stiff. If not dried, fill up the vase with water again until it evaporates Tip: Keep the vase away from direct sunlight Step 4 Decorate: use dried flowers in a simple vase or mix the dried flowers in a wreath if you love to make your own |
