How to make dried forget-me-not flowers

1. Prepare flowers and tools

There are several things to keep in mind when choosing flowers. First of all, the flowers must be fresh, without rotten or withered flowers. In addition, it is better if the flowers are half-open. This is because, if the flower is in full bloom, the petals will be squeezed and deformed, and the final effect will be poor. Also prepare other tools, such as colored paper, scissors, tape, etc.

2. Pruning branches

Cut from the branches so that each flower is independent, which will help the subsequent shape look better. The length of the flower stem should be controlled, preferably between 25 and 30 centimeters.

3. Bundle and dry

After pruning, straighten the flowers and arrange them one by one, paying attention to the angle of placement. The final result will be a fan-shaped or hemispherical bouquet. Then, secure their lower ends with tape and place them in a cool, well-ventilated area. Note that it must be hung upside down for better effect. After about half a month, the flower stems will turn yellow-green, which means they are dry.

4. Arrange the shape

After drying, you can use colored paper and other tools to process the entire bouquet to make it look more beautiful. Cut off all the extra branches and modify its shape appropriately. After everything is done, you can place it indoors as decoration, but avoid strong light, otherwise the dried flowers will fade easily.
