Week 2 {how to dry flowers so they retain their color}

Week two is here!  A little bit late, but better late than never, right?!


So here are the materials that you will be needing.....
1. A ribbon that is long enough and sturdy enough to tie around your flowers and hang them up
2. A push-pin
3. A dark room
4. Flowers of course!



Steps:
1. Gather your flowers when they are starting to die a bit... that way you can still enjoy them while they are living!
2. Tie your ribbon around the bottom of the stems of the flowers - tight so they don't come out!
3. Take your flowers into a dark room and pin the ribbon and flowers to the wall - upside down
4. Wait a couple weeks, checking on them often.  When they are completely dry, remove them from the dark room and enjoy!
