Don't Throw Away Wilting Summer Flowers - Here's How to Handle Them Properly

Even the most beautiful flowers will wilt one day,

How can you preserve that beauty for a long time?

Consider making fresh flowers into dried flowers.

Tie your favorite fresh flowers into a bunch with string or ribbon,

and hang them in a well-ventilated place away from light.

During this time you will see the buds slowly shrivel,

and the colors quietly change. After waiting 2~4 weeks,

they become beautiful dried flowers.

Of course, not all fresh flowers can be air-dried into flowers,

Recommended varieties include winged everlasting (windmill fruit), golden everlasting (golden hammer flower), lavender,

forget-me-not, baby's breath, and other such fresh flowers.

Pressed air-drying is also very convenient. Take a dictionary or encyclopedia,

place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper inside, lay the fresh flowers face down on the page,

then close the book. Wait 1~3 weeks, and the pressed flowers are done.

Flat and beautiful dried flowers can be used to make bookmarks,

or framed in a picture frame - both look wonderful.

In addition, fresh flowers placed in a vase can also become dried flowers.

Put a small amount of water in the vase,

make sure most of the flowers can stand upright in the vase,

and finally place it in a ventilated spot and you're done.

Plants with relatively soft stems, such as baby's breath,

hydrangea, and others, can use this method.

Dried flowers have many uses,

used as decoration they are both beautiful and full of life.
