Making dried flowers can be done through the following steps:
1. Choose the right flowers: choose fresh flowers that are not fully open, and it is best to pick them up in the morning or evening so that the water content of the flowers is low and it is more suitable for making dried flowers.
2. Cut the flower branches: Use scissors or pruning shears to trim the flower branches to the required length, usually about 15-20 cm, and adjust according to your needs.
3. Remove excess leaves and small flower buds: cut off the excess leaves and small flower buds on the flower branches, and keep the main flowers and stamens.
Bundled bouquets: tie the pruned flower branches into bouquets or divide them into several small bunches according to your own preferences and design concepts. The bouquet can be secured with twine or rubber bands.
4. Hang to dry: Reverse the tied bouquet or flower branch, and fix it in a ventilated and dry place with string or clips, preferably in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight.
5. Waiting for drying: The drying time of dried flowers will vary depending on factors such as the type, size, and environmental humidity of the flowers. Under normal circumstances, the bouquet needs to be hung to dry for several weeks or even a month to completely dry.
6. Check the degree of dryness: When the flowers and flower branches become dry and fragile to the touch, it means that the dried flowers are finished. You can gently touch the petals and stamens. If you feel that there is no moisture and are not easy to bend, you can confirm that the flowers are dry.
7. Fixing and protection: After drying, you can spray it on the flowers with clean spray paint or floral spray to protect the color and shape of the flowers. Then place the dried flowers in a dry container or vase away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve their beauty and permanence.
