Here is a brief overview of how to dry flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Pick the right flowers<\/strong>. Choose flat flowers or flowers with thick petals because these are the friendliest flowers for pressing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lay your flowers between paper<\/strong>. Sandwich your flowers between two pieces of parchment or wax paper and lay them flat on a table. You can also open a large, thick book to the middle and line the pages with non-stick paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply pressure<\/strong>. Place a heavy, flat object on top of the paper containing your flower or gently close the book you\u2019re drying your flowers in. Leave your pressed flowers in a warm, dark, and dry location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replace the drying paper<\/strong>. After a week or so, check your flowers. Replace the used paper with fresh, dry paper, but be careful because your flowers will be in a very delicate state. Repeat the process until the flowers have completely dried, which may take up to four weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All you need to press flowers is parchment or wax paper, and a heavy book or flat object.
