Dried Flower Arrangement

When I was a kid, I would often get leaves or flowers to dry in between the pages of the books. And then had to wait for it to dry. Patience was the name of the game 😀. I had to wait for days for the flowers to dry. I still press flowers and leaves this way, but have also found some other ways to dry which has worked great for me. 

Pressed flower Bouquet

 

 With the pressed flowers that I made using the method mentioned in my previous post, I made this flower bouquet.

 This is such a great way to not only preserve flowers but display them too. Great for preserving some special occasion flowers I think.

Making dried flowers

 

So few days back, I found a new way to make dried flowers the quick and easy way. All this time, I have been drying flowers just like a lot of other people still do I think, pressing between the pages of the book. Then wait for like days to get them all dried up. But not always did they turn out as beautiful and colorful as I would have hoped for. Specially the flowers after being between the pages, they sometimes will loose their color and also turn out to be just brown old pressed flowers 😒.
