Small flowers are usually used as an addition to the main flowers of the composition - gypsophila makes the bouquet "airy". To create dried flowers at home, it is recommended to collect inflorescences in early June.
How to collect dried flowers
Carefully collect flowers, choose fresh, freshly blossomed buds. It is better to collect flowers in the morning in sunny and dry weather. Remove leaves as they retain moisture. If you prefer to leave the leaves on, the drying process will take a little longer.
What dried flowers can be kept in the house
These are, for example, reeds, ears of corn, echinacea, various dry branches. We recommend making a bouquet only after frost, so you get a stable composition that will not crumble. And you can also dry the herbarium. To do this, the beautiful plants that you have found must be placed between the pages of books.
How much will a bouquet of dried flowers cost
Unlike traditional flowers, a bouquet of dried flowers will stand and remind you of you for a very long time. If you keep the composition away from direct sun and moisture, it will last up to 3 years. Remember to dust the plants with a hair dryer on a cool setting.
