How to Dry Flowers

Tips:

• To dry flowers, buds and other natural items, immerse them in a box of Borax laundry powder. The powder will absorb the moisture and speed up drying. Items will keep their color better than they do when air-dried and the soft powder also helps them keep their shape.
• To dry long-stem roses, simply tie some string around the middle of the bunch and hang them upside down in a well-ventilated area. This will keep the buds and stems straight.
