1, upside down method.
Hanging upside down is the most common method of air-drying flowers, which is very convenient and simple, and everyone can make it by themselves. You can use the dying flowers left by daily flower arrangement to hang upside down in a cool and ventilated place and dry them naturally.
Steps: remove all the leaves, leaving only the flowers at the top of the rhizome (you can leave two or three leaves at the top if you want to leave leaves); Classify the flowers that need to be treated and put them together in the same type or size. Tie the same flower, and wrap it around the lower end of the flower stem with string, rubber band or ribbon several times. The height is staggered, so as to avoid squeezing and tightening, and ensure that no flower branches will fall off when hanging upside down.
Hang the bouquet upside down, dump it in a cool and ventilated place and wait for it to dry naturally. Hanging in the air, don't hang against the wall, avoid tilting, because the petals will sag in the direction of gravity and form strange shapes after drying; The air drying time is generally 2 to 4 weeks, and it should be hung upside down in a ventilated place where the sun is not direct. If there are flowers falling in the meantime, you should tie them again. Don't touch them at ordinary times. After air drying, you can spray some styling agents such as hair glue to help the petals shape.
The upside-down method is simple, convenient and easy to operate, but it will make the flowers fade and yellow to some extent. The key to effectively avoid the fading of flowers is that they must be placed in a dry and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. When hanging upside down, pay attention to divide the flowers into small bundles or single branches and spread them evenly to avoid dense mildew or incomplete drying.
2, book pressure air drying method.
As for how to make dried flowers, the book-pressing air-drying method is a relatively simple and quick method, which mainly combs fresh flowers and leaves in time, and then puts them into the book, separating them layer by layer, separating flowers from branches and leaves, ensuring the height to be staggered as much as possible, and putting them in a warm environment.
3, desiccant drying method.
For flowers that are not easy to air dry naturally, desiccant can be used to air dry quickly to avoid deterioration and deformation of flowers during air drying, and also to better maintain the color of flowers. Step: Sprinkle a proper amount of desiccant on the bottom of the closed container; Put the flower material into desiccant and spread it evenly; Cover the top of the flower material with desiccant, seal the container, and take it out after the flower material is completely dried.
Flowers dried with desiccant will become fragile, so avoid breaking petals when taking them out. Residual desiccant can be cleaned with a small brush or brush. Desiccant is a chemical product, so it should be placed in a place where children and pets will not eat it by mistake to avoid danger. Desiccants can be purchased on the Internet or in chemical stores. Some kinds of desiccants can be reused and can be purchased according to their own needs.
