    Default Saving my flowers

    Anyone have suggestions for drying out and saving a bouquet of daisies? I've saved roses by hanging them upside down before, but I figure that will make the daisies lose their shape or something.

    *I was gonna attach a pic but it won't let me because I already have it on my "nothing for my bday" thread.

    You could press them. Arrange them flat on a heavy book, then put another couple of books on top. Leave them that way for a week or so and voila, pressed daisies.

    Should I spray them or coat them with anything when they're dry? I've heard you can spray them with hairspray or something. Also, how much of the color will they lose?

    If you press them, put them between wax paper before placing them between the books.

    For displaying them afterwards (if you go with the pressing idea), you can go to an arts and crafts store and get floating picture frames (basically two sheets of glass so you can see right through).
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.
