Flower Preserving HELP!!!!?

The best way is to have it done professionally because it depends on the type of flowers as to what is the best method.

It costs about $100 to have this done.

Your options are usually freeze-dried or pressed. The freeze-dried can be rearranged into a globe and the pressed can be arranged into a frame or photo album.

You can also do this at home, but some methods can take 4 weeks.

Pressing. You needs 2 pieces of plywood, two pieces of corrugated cardboard, newsprint, and wing nuts. Drill a hole in the corner of each piece of plywood. You will stack plywood, cardboard, newsprint, flowers, newsprint, cardboard, plywood. The wing nuts hold it together. Place it with air flow through it from a fan or a vent.

You can split the flowers up by type, tie each type together, and hang upside down.

Or you can place the entire bouquet in a huge Ziploc bag with borax.

Me-I'd either do it professionally or press them. But then pressing is what I know the most about. If you go the DYA route, craft stores and borax's website can help.
