HOW TO DRY FLOWERS/Easy Way to Dry Flowers at Home 

Oh I’m so glad this helped you! 💚

Hi @CarmenReumers! Any floral preservation should work, but I believe this is the one I used www.hobbylobby.com/Floral-Wedding/Floral-Supplies/Wire-Tools/Dried-Floral-Preservative-Spray/p/81089782?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn7mwBhCiARIsAGoxjaKMt2QpYXSwbR3wwisACja6cLiiPcyLmxfywiPIUGIhZMmgSwUuz8saAgnWEALw_wcB

Hi Michelle! It depends on the type of flowers, but typically 1-4 weeks. The more petals and thicker the flower, such as roses, the longer. I hope this helps!

For the best results you'll want fresh flowers that haven't started to wilt yet. Also make sure they are completely upside down. I have another video on how to use silica gel to dry flowers that you may want to check out, I have had the best outcome using that method!

You are so welcome! :) let me know if you have any questions!

Hi! This is the kind I use but there are several different options to choose from, let me know if you have any other questions! :) www.hobbylobby.com/Floral-Wedding/Floral-Supplies/Wire-Tools/Dried-Flower-Preserving-Spray/p/80905373

I read one a blog that hair spray works well too. Haven’t tried yet. X

I grew these flowers, but if you don't have that option I highly recommend seeking out a local flower farm. If you cannot find one you can check out a farmers market or grocery store, the fresher the better! They last a VERY long time. I still have some of these flowers and the projects I've made with them. Hope this helps!

It depends on the flower, for the most part strawflower, statice and gomphrena stay the same.

Hi! It works for me! I wouldn’t put them right next to it, but air circulation will assist in drying them out 👍🏼

Using this method it can take from 2-4 weeks for the flowers to completely dry depending on the variety. If you need them faster here is a video showing another method that only takes a few days ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B8nntYRMyew.html

@@kaleidoscopecreativeco Thank you 😊

Hi there! Here is a video that shows some of the best flowers to dry and their names! I hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q0KbWjgaOo4.html

I also just finished up the blog post that has a list of great flower varieties that dry well here www.wildbellebotanicals.com/s/stories/best-dried-flower-varieties

Hi there! They should be fully dry somewhere between 2-4 weeks 👍

You've got to use fresh flowers. And once they are fully dried they will be fragile. You can purchase a preserving spray like this to help www.hobbylobby.com/Floral-Wedding/Floral-Supplies/Wire-Tools/Dried-Flower-Preserving-Spray/p/80905373

Hi there! Here is my blog post that goes over the best dried flower varieties, I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions! www.wildbellebotanicals.com/s/stories/best-dried-flower-varieties

@@kaleidoscopecreativeco thank you!

Hi Maddi! I grew almost all of these but most grocery stores have a small selection, if you have a Trader Joe’s that’s where I like buying flowers. If you can’t find any local to you or you want a specific kind you can order online at sites such as fifty flowers www.fiftyflowers.com Keep in mind too, even if you just have a small space with some sun you could try growing a few varieties yourself which is very fun :) I hope this helps! :)

If you touch the little button in the top right corner that says ‘cc’ it will put captions for you if you’re having trouble hearing :)

I have not had them get mold. Make sure your flowers are the freshest you can get and if the ends are really wet cut them before hanging 👍🏼

Hi Kausar! I am so sorry to hear that! How fresh were your flowers? Sometimes if they are older they don't turn out very well. Once they are dry they do become fragile. I recommend getting a spray like this to help. www.michaels.com/krylon-ultra-uv-floral-protectant/10483718.html?r=g

Hi! Yes! Roses should dry just fine! :)
