A Detailed Guide to the Latest Methods for Making Dried Roses
We all know that once flowers are picked, they wither very quickly, and it is very difficult to keep their beautiful appearance forever. Many flower lovers have thought of a way to extend their beauty, which is to make them into dried flowers. So in this issue, Shuashuai introduces to everyone exactly the methods for making dried roses. Let's learn together!
The specific steps for making dried roses:
1. Choose suitable fresh flower materials
First, select fresh and upright roses, sort out their loose branches and leaves, and then tie them together with a rubber band to prevent them from falling off during the drying process. To make the dried roses more beautiful, we can add an appropriate amount of other matching flowers and plants.
2. Air-dry or oven-dry the roses
1. Natural air-drying method: This is the simplest and most commonly used method. Since it is natural air-drying, we need to prepare a warm, dry and well-ventilated environment, and then place the bundles of flowers tied in the above steps into it. The drying time depends on the type of flower, the air humidity and temperature changes. Usually it only takes a few days to dry. To make the flower shape look better after air-drying, it must be hung in a suspended place and cannot lean against a wall. When you feel the flowers are about as crisp as paper, it has already succeeded.
2. Desiccant dehydration method: Use a desiccant to treat the already prepared flowers, then bury them and wait for them to dehydrate. After 10-20 days, take them out and use a writing brush to sweep away the desiccant powder on the petals.
3. Microwave drying: If using a microwave to dry them, the drying time is short and no other medium is needed. Its drying time depends on the type of oven and the number of flowers. Some berry-type flowers are prone to bursting when heated, so before heating they need to be placed in a cool and dry place to air-dry for about one week. You can also put them on A4 paper in a light-wave oven and microwave for 25 seconds.
The above are the methods for making dried roses. Have all you flower lovers learned them? Also, when choosing materials, note that some flowers that rot easily are not necessary to make into dried flowers. During natural air-drying, do not place them in sunlight, otherwise they will fade, and if not ventilated, they will rot. Does it sound interesting? Then hurry up and try it yourself!
