How to dry flowers - Simple and beautiful!

Do you want to preserve flowers from a special day? Perhaps your bridal bouquet, a gift with meaning or something you picked yourself? Drying flowers is an easy and charming way to preserve them. Here's how you do it:

1. Hang them upside down

Tie the flowers into small bouquets and hang them upside down in a dark, dry and cool space. After 2-3 weeks they are ready.

2. Choose the right flowers

Roses, lavender, eucalyptus, bridal lily, eternelles and thistles dry particularly well. Tulips and peonies are more difficult - but feel free to try!

3. Pressing in books

For flat flowers and petals - put them between baking paper in a thick book. After a few weeks they are perfect for frames or crafts.

4. fix with spray

Once the flowers are dry, you can spray them lightly with hairspray to preserve their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
