Let’s do without a vase! Dried flowers and herbs can be arranged in a sheaf. Gather a dense bouquet, trim the stems evenly and tie it with a ribbon, then straighten the lower part a little so that the structure is stable.
How to dry flowers properly
- To prevent the dried flower from disintegrating into petals, choose freshly blossomed specimens for drying.
- Flowers are dried in a well-ventilated area, hanging them upside down. Usually they are tied in bunches and positioned so that direct sunlight does not fall on the flowers (otherwise the bright colors will fade).
- Dry them in the sun to make them dazzling white.
- If you need not voluminous, but flat flowers for a composition under glass, use the principle of a herbarium. Dry the plants between the pages of a thick book (just be sure to lay the plant on both sides with paper – otherwise there is a possibility that the book pages will stain from the sap of the plants).
Components of the “winter” bouquet:
roses, amaranths, immortelle, mordovnik, gypsophila, bluehead, yarrow, feather grass, etc. Leaves, stems with seeds, twigs with berries (mountain ash, wild rose), poppy pods, reeds, physalis lanterns, cereals and herbs are also used.
