It is no secret that it is best to decorate the house with fresh flowers. But you don't have to throw the bouquet away when the flowers start to dry. Instead, you can use them for decor around the house to keep the joy for longer. Here are some ideas from FloralN5 on what to do with dried flowers.
How to use dried flowers
One of the first things you can do when a composition dries up - reorganize the flowers into a bouquet to add an elegant touch to your home decor. Keep it in a vase in a place where you won't touch it often, since dried flowers are more prone to falling apart, or cover the buds with a thin layer of glue to prevent them from breaking off.
Another idea is to use the flowers for small decor pieces, such as postcards, phone cases, and even photo frames. In addition, adding a few dry flower buds to gift wrapping paper will make it more special for the person who receives the gift.
How to dry flowers
Of course, you can use flowers that dry up naturally or achieve the effect intentionally. There are several ways to do this:
-
air drying - just leave the flower as is without any water
-
ironing - iron the flower buds and leaves to give them the desired shape
-
baking - place the flowers into an oven to dry them up
-
in books - put the flowers into the books and place the books under the pressure of some weight.
Some people think that keeping dried flowers in the house brings bad luck. However, anything that is attractive and brings joy to you can't be unfortunate! So feel free to pick up some flowers at FloralN5 for good mood and a lovely dried composition later on.
