To do this, there are some simple but useful tips to dry roses and do it right without losing the look of these amazing flowers.
It is necessary
- - scissors;
- - wire or wire;
- - hanger;
- - box;
- - White sand.
Instructions
Step 1
It will take quite a bit of effort and time, and you can already enjoy flowers and find tenderness in them. There is even an option that involves combining dried roses and fresh ones. So, there are two most common methods for drying roses. The first method involves air drying the flowers. Here you will need scissors, some wire, depending on the number of buds available, a hanger and a room that should be dark and dry.
Step 2
First, cut the stems of the roses as close to the buds as possible. Next, stick a wire about 15-20 cm long into the bud. Wrap its ends on a hanger, leave space between each bud so that the air can calmly blow it from all sides. In this case, the rosebuds should be "upside down".
Step 3
Place the finished hanger indoors; an empty linen closet is well suited for this purpose. As a rule, roses are thoroughly dried in 3 weeks.
Step 4
The second method of drying roses, using sand, requires a little more effort, however, the result of this process is much different from drying roses in the first way. Cut the flower at the time of its beautiful flowering, the stem from the bud should be about 2.5 cm.
Step 5
Only start the drying process after the stems and leaves are completely dry, which means there is no water or dew on them. Just as in the first case, place a wire in the bud.
Step 6
Then take an open box, place the rosebuds there and start filling the empty space with white sand - until the flowers can stand upright. Carefully fill the empty space directly in the rosebud itself to keep it in its original shape. Let the flowers dry thoroughly for 1-3 weeks and carefully tilt the box to remove the roses.
