What are Different Methods of Drying Flowers?
There are two basic methods to dry flowers: air-drying and pressing. One technique might be better than the other, depending on how the dry flowers are going to be used: many crafters, for example, like to use pressed flowers in paper and card making. Dried flowers for decorative use around the home are often air dried so that they retain their three dimensional shape. Consider the needs of the project when deciding which flower drying method to use, as well as your available workspace and the season. Flowers do not air dry well in humid weather, although they can be press-dried year round.
