Make your own dried flowers at home

To create a comfortable mood, the first step is to choose flower materials. Platycodon, calla lilies, lilies, etc. that contain a lot of water can only be used as fresh cut flowers and cannot be made into dried flowers. Most of the flowers suitable for dry flowers have low moisture content, such as roses, forget-me-nots, cockscombs, etc. In addition, pine cones, reed flowers, sorghum ears and cat willows are also good "wild" flowers. After choosing the flower materials, you have to choose the flowers. Basically, the fresher the buds and half-blooms, the better the shape will be after being made into dried flowers. The large flowers will squeeze each other when hanging to dry, and the shape may not be good. The petals of flowers that are about to wither easily fall off and are not suitable for use as dried flowers.

It will be easy to handle after this. Just tie the bottom of the bouquet with a rubber band and hang it upside down in a dry and ventilated place. After two weeks, the dried flowers were completed, and they were a little darker than the original ones. However, I prefer to appreciate the natural creation rather than change her free mood with artificial spray paint. If the dried flowers have been left in the house for a long time, they will inevitably accumulate some dust. At this time, you only need to use a hair dryer to blow away the dust. Never let water drip on dried flowers. Dried flowers that are wet or damp will not survive long.
