How Do You Keep And Use Dead Flower Arrangements?
Dead flower arrangements—properly referred to as dried flower arrangements—are a low-maintenance way to add color and grace to any room. It’s not hard to repurpose dried flowers, and there aren’t any hard-and-fast rules about how to decorate with them. You can’t keep dried flowers on display indefinitely: They’ll eventually fade and begin to look ragged. Dried arrangements usually last for about a year—after that, they should be stored carefully or discarded. Stuff the bottom of a vase, jar or pot with floral foam to help keep your dried flower arrangement in place. Put the dried blossoms and greenery into the holder one stem at a time, turning the container so that you can see it from all sides to ensure the arrangement is evenly filled out. Bundle together 8 to 10 dried flowers and secure them with a rubber band; snip the stems so that they’re no more than 6 inches in length. Wrap and tie ribbons around the bundles to hide the rubber bands and hang the arrangements upside down
