Go to a good sized crafts store and find silica sand, the intructions come with it, but wear a good mask because the sand is so fine it will get in your lungs and that ain't gooood.
Reply:dry flowers in a dry dark location by tying them upside down on a nail or a hanger. leave them there for a few weeks. when dry you can make potpourri by adding a mixture of various dried flowers, essential oils and orris root to bind the scent. i bottle my dried flowers and use them for bath sachets, potpourri,soaps, etc.
