How to Make Dried Roses: Learn It Easily in a Few Simple Steps
We all know that once flowers are picked, they wither very quickly, and it is very difficult to preserve their beautiful appearance forever. Many flower lovers have come up with a way to extend their beauty, which is to make them into dried flowers. So in this issue, Shuanshuai is here to introduce exactly how to make dried roses. Let's learn together!
The specific steps for making dried roses:
1. Choose suitable fresh flower materials
First, pick out fresh, upright roses, tidy up the loose branches and leaves, and then tie them together with rubber bands to prevent them from falling off during the drying process. To make the dried roses more beautiful, we can add a moderate 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 flower bundles 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 drying, it must be hung in midair and not placed against a wall. When you feel the flowers are about as crisp as paper, you have 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 you use a microwave for drying, 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 types are prone to bursting when heated, so before heating they need to be placed in a cool, dry place to air-dry for about a week. You can also put them on A4 paper in a light-wave oven and microwave for 25 seconds.
That is how to make dried roses. Have all you flower lovers learned it? Also, when choosing materials, note that some flowers that rot easily do not need to be made into dried flowers. During natural air-drying, do not place them in sunlight, otherwise they will fade, and if there is no ventilation, they will rot. Does it sound interesting? Then hurry up and try it yourself!
