Title: Drying Flowers
1
Drying Flowers
Original by Linda Rist
Modified by Georgia Agricultural Education
Curriculum Office
June, 2002
2
Dried Flowers
Often sold to customers desiring a permanent
arrangement
3
Methods
Several have been developed
Almost any flower can be preserved
Wide variety of materials available
4
Dried Flowers
Few florists elect to preserve their own
materials
Widely available from commercial sources
5
Hanging Method
Flowers should be picked for drying just before
they reach their prime
Overly mature flowers do not dry well
6
Hanging Method
Strip off all leaves and tie flowers in small
bunches
Suspend flowers upside down in a warm dry place
without light
7
Hanging Method
Darkness preserves the color
Drying time varies according to the type of
flower and the conditions of the drying location
8
Hanging Method
Most flowers dry in one to three weeks
Leave bunches hanging until they are needed for
arrangements
9
Desiccant Drying
Consists of burying flowers in a substance that
will extract moisture from the flowers by
absorption
10
Desiccant Drying
Most flowers can be dried without a loss of color
or shape when the petals are supported by the
drying agent
11
Desiccant Drying
Support medium should provide even drying
throughout the flower and keep petals from curling
12
Desiccant Drying
All spaces between petals should be completely
filled
Remove stems from the flowers about one half inch
below the calyx
13
Desiccant Drying
Place one to two inches of the drying agent in
the bottom of a container
Place the flowers face up on the bed of desiccant
14
Desiccant Drying
Cover the flowers completely with more of the
desiccant
15
Desiccant Drying
Gently support the petals while working the
substance into and between the folds or the
flowers
16
Desiccant Drying
Seal container to prevent the drying agent from
absorbing moisture from the air
17
Desiccant Drying
Cardboard boxes work well
Holes can be punched in the bottom to remove the
desiccant without damaging the flowers
18
Desiccant Drying
Length of drying time varies from two to four
weeks
When flowers have dried completely, gently remove
them from the desiccant
19
Desiccant Drying
Brush remaining agent off of flowers.
Use a small paintbrush
Flowers dried with a desiccant are extremely
fragile
20
Desiccant Drying
Spray flowers with a dried flower preservative to
protect and strengthen them
21
Desiccant Drying
Attach floral wires to the flowers for stems
Original stems may be dried and reattached with
hot glue
22
Desiccant Drying
If wires are attached, use floral tape to secure
the flower to the wire and to give the stem a
more natural look.
23
Sand and Borax
Fine washed beach sand is best
Sand should be sifted before use
24
Sand and Borax
Damp sand can be oven dried in a shallow pan at
250 degrees for thirty minutes
Mix two parts sand with one part borax
25
Sand and Borax
Borax can be purchased in the laundry section of
any grocery store
Drying time is one to two weeks
26
Cornmeal Borax
White cornmeal and borax mixture is light and
works well with delicate flowers
Mix ten parts white cornmeal with three parts
borax
27
Cornmeal Borax
Sift thoroughly to mix
Borax is used to protect the petals from mold and
weevils during drying
This method takes three to seven days
28
Kitty Litter
Is made of ground clay
Can be used over and over
Sift of screen litter to discard larger pieces
29
Kitty Litter
Select a brand that has small particles
Coarse particles are not suitable for drying
flowers
30
Silica Gel
Industrial compound that can be purchased for
drying
More expensive than other drying agents
31
Silica Gel
Can be reused almost indefinitely
Best drying agent for preserving flowers
32
Silica Gel
Dries quickly and flowers retain more of their
natural colors
May be purchased at a hobby or discount store
that carries crafts
33
Silica Gel
Tell-Tale, the most common brand name for drying
flowers
Has blue crystals
34
Silica Gel
The blue color is an indicator
When flowers are dry the color changes to pink
35
Silica Gel
After drying, sift silica gel to remove flower
debris
Dry in an oven at 250 degrees for 30 minutes
36
Silica Gel
The Tell-Tale crystals will return to their blue
color when dry
37
Microwave drying
Quick method
Superior quality
Colors are brighter
38
Microwave
Flowers are not as dry and perishable as
conventionally dried flowers
Trim stems half to 3/4 inch in length
39
Microwave
Spread silica gel one to two inches deep in small
glass or paper bowl
Prepare one container for each flower
40
Microwave
Arrange one flower blossom face up in each bowl
of silica gel
41
Microwave
Sprinkle additional silica gel between petals
until the flowers are completely covered
Use a toothpick or small brush to separate petals
42
Microwave
Place one or two flowers in the microwave oven at
a time
Place a cup of water in the corner of the
microwave to provide moisture
43
Microwave
This will prevent the flower from completely
drying up
Microwave for one to four minutes according to
the drying guide in the text
44
Microwave
After drying, leave flowers in the silica gel for
1 to 24 hours
Remove flowers carefully from the bowl
45
Microwave
Shake gently to remove silica gel
Use a small paintbrush to remove any remaining gel
46
Microwave
Spray with preservative spray and attach a 16 or
18 gauge wire to the stem with floral tape
47
Glycerin
Colorless liquid made from fats and oils which
can be used to preserve foliage
48
Glycerin
Preserves foliage in a pliable, more natural
state
Frequently used for eucalyptus, magnolia and
maple leaves
49
Glycerin
Also used for drying babys breath
Can be purchased at any drug store
Mix one part glycerin with two parts water
50
Glycerin
Pour mixture into a container at the depth of 4
to 5 inches
Stems of fresh foliage should be given a fresh
slanting cut at the base
51
Glycerin
Place stems of foliages in the glycerin solution
for four days to two weeks
Replenish solution as needed during preservation
process
52
Glycerin
Foliage will darken to an olive or bronze color
as the leaves absorb the solution
53
Glycerin
To prevent darkening of leaves, add absorption
dye to the solution
Dye will be absorbed into the stem and deposited
in the foliage
54
Glycerin
When the process is complete, hang foliages
upside down to dry
Individual leaves are best preserved by
submerging them in the solution
55
Glycerin
Place weights on the leaves to keep them below
the surface
Ivy leaves and stems may be preserved by this
method
56
Glycerin
Leave ivy submerged for four days
Rinse glycerin off with cool water when foliage
is removed from the solution
57
Bleaching Drying
Items to be bleached must first be dried
Place dried plant material in a solution of one
cup bleach and two gallons water
58
Bleaching Drying
Use plastic, glass or enamel containers
Do not use metal
Weight materials down so that it will be
submerged at all times
59
Bleaching Drying
Leave material in solution for 5-6 days, longer
if necessary
Remove after bleaching has occurred and rinse
thoroughly
60
Bleaching Drying
Leave material in a water bath for a day or two
Hang outside to dry and whiten
61

Jean-Michel Bihorel - Women & flowers
- Jean-Michel Bihorel (Paris, 1988) is a French digital artist who, after studying animation in a French school, has been making digital images since 2008 and, since 2016, has devoted himself completely to his own artistic production. Always fascinated by the sense of matter and figurative realism, even if he belongs to the digital world, his interest in art was born thanks to the parents who are two artists who use traditional media. The artist’s sensitivity is based on the perceptions of the material which can be marble, ceramic, flowers and much more, but which in reality are only pixels that are sometimes imperfect to better define the sensation of real matter. Jean-Michel Bihorel lives and works in Rennes.
