Hanging upside down to air-dry
1. Preparing the flower materials
Hanging upside down to air-dry is the simplest and most commonly used method for making dried flowers.
Huahua suggests choosing a relatively dry and warm room at home to do this. The flower materials actually mainly depend on what you planted that season. Hydrangea, forget-me-not and others are all very good flower materials. It is recommended to choose some with relatively deep colors, as they will hardly lose color after air-drying.
2. Production process
If you are making a bundle of dried flowers, you need to tie the bouquet firmly with string, then hang it upside down on a hook and wait for the flowers to air-dry naturally.
If flower friends only want to make one dried flower, then just hang one upside down. During the hanging process, be sure to keep it away from the wall, otherwise the side of the flower near the wall will be flattened.
Microwave drying method
1. Preparing the flower materials
The biggest feature of the microwave drying method is the short time. This method is suitable for plants such as lilies, daisies, and marigolds.
2. Production process
First place the flowers on a paper towel, without overlapping them. Then put the flowers in the microwave and heat on medium or high power for one minute. If the flowers are still not dry at this point, change to another paper towel and heat again.
After heating, be sure to wait until it cools before decorating. If heating berry-type materials, air-dry them for at least one week before heating to avoid bursting in the microwave.
Pressing method
1. Preparing the flower materials
Huahua reminds flower friends that this method is suitable for some small and flat flowers. The stems cannot be too round, and the flowers cannot be too three-dimensional. For example, violets and lilacs.
2. Production process
We only need to place the flowers on dry light-blocking paper (newspaper, cardboard, paper napkins, etc.), arrange them into a shape you like, and after arranging them, cover them with another sheet of paper.
Then place a heavy object completely on top of the paper with the flowers, wait one to three weeks, and the pressed flowers are done.
The pressed flowers can be made into bookmarks or other decorations!
Desiccant method
1. Preparing the flower materials
The desiccant method is suitable for making dried flowers from flowers that fade easily, such as carnations, English roses, clematis and others.
2. Production process
First find a sealed container larger than the diameter of the flower, spread a layer of desiccant, put the flower in, then sprinkle desiccant all around the flower as well, seal the jar, and after a few days you can take out the dried flower.
Looking at the beautiful bouquet arranged in the vase in a pleasing scattered way, your mood is truly lovely!
