Selection of flower materials
1. Petals don't contain too much water, so they won't feel "plump" and "moist" when pinched by hands. Among the common flower materials, roses, hydrangeas, carnations, starry sky and small daisies are all suitable for dried flowers; Lily, hyacinthus orientalis, tulip, etc. , perishable, not suitable for dried flowers.
What, meaty? You're here to smash the venue, right? ...
2. Petals are not easy to fall off. The flower is in full bloom, and the petals will fall off when touched, which is not suitable for dry flowers.
Production steps
Step 1: cut off the flower head, leaving a flower stem of 0.5cm- 1cm, removing the damaged petals on the outer layer and arranging the flower shape;
Step 2: add a layer of desiccant to the sealed box, with the flower face up;
Step 3: continue to add desiccant, so that the lowest petal is in complete contact with desiccant;
Step 4: Carefully and slowly pour in a small amount of desiccant to fill every gap between petals. Note that the gap between the original petals must be maintained to preserve the flower shape, which is a crucial step.
Step 5: After the desiccant completely buries the flowers, cover the sealed box and mark the date. It will be taken out in a few days.
(The number of sealing days depends on the thickness of petals)
On the sixth day, you can see that the upper desiccant changes color because of water absorption.
(Actually, the little monster said that dehydration would be enough on the fourth day, but it happened to be the weekend, um ...)

It can be clearly seen that the dried flowers made by this method can keep the bright colors of the flowers, rather than the decadent feeling of air drying ~
Try to get them through.
In a cool place, it can be preserved for a long time.
Matters needing attention
1. Pay attention to the flower shape when spraying desiccant between petals, and the flower will be dried according to the buried shape;
2. Make sure that the petals are not soft and moist to the touch, but as dry as a crispy surface-the drying process can end;
3. The desiccant can be reused for many times, and then heated and dried in a microwave oven or oven;
4. If the dried flowers are dusty, you can shake them off gently or brush them off with a small soft brush. Hair dryer blowing at low temperature is also a good choice. If the dried flowers are damp and moldy, gently wipe them with alcohol. If it is a flower that is not afraid of withering, spray alcohol and expose it to the sun for sterilization.
