How do you dry statis flowers to make them last for a year?
cut the flower to the length you want it ( this goes for just about any type of flower ) , set them in a jug or container with an equal mix , ( 50/50 or one to one ) , of water and anti-freeze . yes , that stuff you put in your cars radiator . wait about ten days to two weeks . you will notice the flowers sucking up the liquid . when you take them out of the container have a can of Aqua Net hair spray handy . spray evenly , several coats of hair spray over the flower/s . make sure you spray every nook and cranny . lay them on some old newspapers for a liitle bit until you can touch them without feeling a little tacky . works great on cat-tails ! make your own dried flower arrangements . they will last for years . good luck !
Reply:I used to dry flowers in borax. This kills any insects hiding in them and dries them quickly. Then I sprayed them with clear acrylic.
Reply:I use to dry them the same way....then I sprayed them with some clear acrylic or clear enamel paint. It helps the color stay in them.
