Then tie a few of them together by their stems. Next, hang the bouquet upside down in your drying area. Ventilation will help dry the flowers, and a lack of sunlight will reduce the amount that their colors fade. Once your flowers are dry, a quick spritz with hairspray will help prevent them from crumbling too easily.
If you want an easy preservation method, with the least risk of messing up your results, you can press any flower variety in a book. Start by trimming your flowers down to the heads, removing as much of the stem as possible.
Then take the book, open it to the center, and cover the pages with a sheet of paper or waxed paper. Close and reopen the book to crease the liner layer so it will stay in place. Finally, place the bud close to the middle of one of the pages, press the bud flat on the paper, and close the book. Over time, the liner paper or waxed paper will absorb moisture from the flower, gradually desiccating it.
If you want results fast, you can speed up the drying process.
