How to dry your fresh flowers?
1.First, you will need to identify which flowers are able to be dried (see list below). Pick them out.
Best time to dry them is to do so when it’s still fresh and not bloomed widely. If flower is already in full bloom, likely the petals will drop off during the drying process,if that’s the case you might prefer pressing the flowers instead
2. tie them at the bottom of the stems with a string/rubber band (try not to squeeze them), pat dry the stems and ensure it’s not wet.
3. find a shady spot with good air ventilation and hang the bunch of flowers upside down. (should try in 2-3 weeks time depending on the condition. )
