Drying flowers is the best way to increase their life span and it also makes for dainty house decorations. Other than spicing up your bedroom with flower art, it’s also a great gift to give to friends and family.
A great element would be to add a few crystals and maybe even some sage to promote good energy.
What are Flower Bundles?
Flower bundles are fresh flowers that have either been hung upside down for a certain span of time, enough to be dried or lightly baked to have a crisp and dry texture. They’re basically bundles of preserved flowers that can be used for decorations to give a more natural and earthy feel to your interior.
How Do You Make Them?
Air drying is the best method for flowers with strong scents including lavender and roses. This technique is the best way to preserve their natural color and structure.
Steps:
- Cut the stems into your desired length preferably no longer than 7 inches.
- Keep the flowers away from sunlight as soon as possible as their color tends to fade after they’ve been cut.
- Hang the flowers together by securing them with a rubber band or hair tie.
- Attach them to a piece of string and tape it to your wall or tie it to a piece of furniture.
- Wait for them to fully dry for two to three weeks.
- Attach your crystals and sage bundles to them for an added magical element.
