How can you preserve fresh flowers from a funeral arrangement?
Question:
Answers:
you can do several things. get silica sand to dry them..you lay the flowers in it and gently cover them with the sand. It draws out the moisture and keeps more of the color. #2 ties them together and hang them up-side down until they dry...but they tend to dry much darker. #3 get some "glycerin" from wall-mart or drugstore's. if I remember correctly, I boiled water 2 parts to 1 part glycerin and let it cool to warm, cut then stems of the flowers and put them in the mixture. you'll want to use a taller narrow vase so it doesn't take so much...let them soak for about a week...by then they should have the glycerin soaked up and preserved soft!
well, whatever you do, they won't last forever, but take out a few and "press" them in a book or photo album to save.
