How to make dried flowers

Question 1: How to make dried flowers. When making dried flowers, choose flowers with less water content. For example, annual flowers include chrysanthemum, dry ear valley, chrysanthemum, Austrian flower, scaly flower and annual grass. supply

There are many ways to make dried flowers, but the natural drying method is simple and easy. Generally, after flowers are harvested in the mature season, they are cut and hung in indoor dry and hot air to evaporate water. In order to prevent tissue from shrinking and better keep its natural color, we should try to dry them quickly with hot air, and put the cut flowers head down when hanging, so as to keep the top of the stem rigid during drying. We can hang the cut flowers on wire or shelves to dry, instead of plastic bags.

When making dried flowers, they should be cut in dry weather to facilitate drying. The stems should be kept longer and the leaves should be removed, because the leaves prolong the dehydration process and tend to shrink and lose their ornamental value. Large cut flowers (such as delphinium) should be dried individually, and if they are tied into bundles, they will be easily crushed after drying. Generally, cut flowers can be tied into small bundles, and the flower heads are separated from each other so as not to be damaged by squeezing. After a few days, the cut flowers will slowly dry, feel brittle when touched by hand, and the petals will become fibrous. At this time, they have been made into dried flowers and can be used for decoration.

Question 2: How to make dried flowers? Method 1:

First, prepare a box with a layer of desiccant (copper sulfate, which is available in general pharmacies and chemical reagent stores). Choose a sunny day, 9- 10 in the morning, when the flowers are not exposed to dew, cut the blooming flowers, put them in a prepared box, put them on a desiccant, and then carefully pour a small amount of desiccant into it to fill every gap between petals. Note that it is very important to keep the gap between the petals of the original flower in order to preserve the flower shape. Because some flowers, such as chrysanthemums, roses, azaleas, orchids and so on. Each layer has dense petals and tiny gaps, so it is really not easy to fill it with desiccant without crushing the flower shape.

When the whole flower is completely surrounded by desiccant, cover the box and seal it with plastic bag and plastic tape. It can be taken out in a few days (the number of sealing days depends on the thickness of petals). At this time, the flowers are dry, fragile and easily broken. Be careful when you take them out. After taking them out, turn them upside down and let the desiccant fall from the flowers. After the desiccant is completely removed, the dried flower specimen is completed.

In order to prevent dried flower specimens from absorbing moisture, they must be placed in a box with desiccant and sealed.

Method 2:

I. Principles

Some reducing chemicals can inhibit various oxidation factors; So as to control the oxidative decomposition of plant pigments and fix pigment molecules.

Second, materials.

Stannous chloride, copper sulfate, sodium borohydride, sulfurous acid, formalin (37% ~ 40%), distilled water, specimen bottles, paraffin, glycerin, flowers, etc.

Third, production.

1, according to the proportion of 2g stannous chloride, 5g copper sulfate, 2g sodium borohydride, 5ml sulfurous acid and 95ml distilled water, a stationary liquid was prepared.

2, picking flowers, it is best to choose those that are not fully open. Soak in the fixed solution after pruning 12 ~ 24 hours.

3. Prepare preservation solution according to 95 ml distilled water, 5 ml formalin and 2 ~ 3 ml sulfite.

4. Take out the flowers treated with fixed solution and immerse them in the specimen bottle with preservation solution. If the immersion liquid is insufficient, it can be replenished until the flowers are completely immersed. After standing for 2 ~ 3 days, if color overflow is found, some glycerin or sodium chloride can be added appropriately; If the color is too dark, add some distilled water. This can maintain the balance of internal and external osmotic pressure of flowers and immersion liquid, and avoid the deformation and discoloration of flowers. If there is no such phenomenon, it can be stamped and sealed with paraffin.

By adopting the above method, the bright colors of flowers and the green of branches and leaves can be basically maintained at the same time; And can be preserved for a long time. Specimens can be used to observe the needs of teaching, and can also be used for display and appreciation.

Question 3: Which flowers can be made into dried flowers? The method of making dried flowers is to choose the flowers first. Platycodon grandiflorum, taro, lily and so on. It contains a lot of water and can only be made into fresh cut flowers, not dried flowers. Most of the flowers suitable for dried flowers have the characteristics of less water, such as roses, forget-me-not, cockscomb flowers and so on. In addition, pine cones, reed flowers, sorghum ears and Cattail Willow are also excellent wild flowers.

After choosing the flowers, it is necessary to choose flowers. Basically, the fresher the buds and semi-flowers, the better the shape of dried flowers. Flowers with big flowers will squeeze each other when hanging and drying, and the shape is afraid of being bad. Flowers that are about to wither are easy to fall off, so it is not convenient to make dried flowers.

After that, it's easy. Tie the bottom of the bouquet with a rubber band and hang it upside down in a dry and ventilated place. After two weeks, the dried flowers were finished, a little darker than the original color, but I would rather enjoy nature than change her comfortable mood with artificial spray painting.

After the dried flowers are left at home for a long time, it is inevitable that some dust will fall. At this time, just blow the dust clean with a hair dryer. Never let the dried flowers drip, or the dried flowers that are wet will not live long.

A. Method for making dried roses

1. Choose the right fresh roses and tidy up the extra branches and leaves a little; Tie the bouquet with a rubber band to prevent it from falling off during drying. 2. After the bouquet is tied, choose a ventilated place to hang upside down to dry. After two weeks of natural air drying, dried flowers can be made.

B. Making small potted flowers

1. Material preparation: several dried roses (other dried flowers are also acceptable), a small flowerpot, a sponge, scissors, blades and a ribbon. 2. Cut the sponge to the size just enough to put it in the flowerpot, and then put it in the flowerpot. Trim the dried flowers and put them in the sponge in the basin.

C. don't forget how to make dried flowers.

1. The drying process of forget-me-not is similar to that of roses. Pick out fresh forget-me-not. 2. Tie the bouquet with a rubber band and hang it upside down in a ventilated place to dry. 3. After air-drying for about two weeks, dried flowers can be made.

D. Method for making wall decoration

1. Material preparation: some dried roses, grass, wheat, forget me, two maple leaves, a ribbon, two rubber bands and scissors. 2. Combine dried flowers of different colors into your favorite style, and then fix them with rubber bands. 3. After the bouquet is assembled and fixed with ribbons, it is a beautiful and generous wall decoration.

Homemade dried flowers are fragrant in winter.

Dried flowers come from nature. It's more realistic than silk flower and plastic flowers, and it doesn't need cleaning. At the same time, the dried flowers are plants with strong color and taste absorption ability, and the color is naturally soft. The fragrance of dried flowers generally lasts for half a year or a year in a semi-closed environment. After the fragrance is exhausted, you can also choose sesame oil extracted from different flowers to enhance the fragrance of dried flowers according to your own preferences.

In fact, the benefits of dried flowers go far beyond these. If you want to add fun to your life, you can also make it yourself. Carefully made dried flowers often have unexpected exquisiteness and beauty.

● Preparation materials: desiccant powder, writing brush, flowers and plants, flowerpots. It is best to pick flowers at 9: 00-1 1: 00 in the morning, because there is no dew at this time, and the water content of flowers and plants is moderate, so it is easy to keep fresh, dry and dehydrated after harvesting. In the afternoon, most flowers and plants are wilting, so it is not suitable for collection. When picking, you can choose flowers with buds or flowers with completely open buds. Picked leaves generally require bright green, but sometimes mature dark green leaves are also needed. The collected flowers and plants should be treated immediately or stored in the shade for preservation. Such as Euphorbia Euphorbia, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Limonium sinense, Cao Xia, Sanguisorba officinalis, Phragmites communis, Setaria viridis, etc.

● Production steps: The simplest and most convenient way to make dried flowers is to hang upside down and dry naturally, while others need to remove leaves and hang upside down in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally. Or bury the picked flower branches with desiccant powder, take them out after 10-20 days, and sweep the desiccant powder off the petals with a brush. It can also be dried in a microwave oven.

● Shape selection: There are many varieties of dried flowers, and there are all kinds of grass-like fruits. You can choose the main flower and the foil flower according to your own preferences. The main flowers are usually large flowers or fruits, and the background flowers are usually branches, leaves, grass or small broken flowers. Ears of grain such as wheat, rice, sorghum, etc. After dehydration and dyeing, the style is outstanding and the most idyllic, which meets the aesthetic needs of urban families to the greatest extent, and the decorated room has a unique charm. The fan-shaped flower arrangement structure is radial; S-shaped curve produces a sense of flow, which is suitable for larger rooms and gives people a very smooth feeling; The triangular arrangement pays attention to symmetry, which is very suitable for the traditional design of China; ......& gt& gt

Question 4: What materials do you need to make dried flowers? The production of dried flower crafts includes the following steps: 1. Collection materials: Phalaenopsis, delphinium, geranium, peach trees and other flowers are all good dried flower materials. Flowers are collected at 9:00- 1 1:00, and the collected flowers should be treated immediately or stored in the shade. Second, the material processing method The collected flowers and plants are divided into two processing methods according to the purpose of making handicrafts: 1. When ten flowers are used to make greeting cards and greeting cups, absorbent paper, corrugated paper, iron clips, tweezers and so on need to be prepared. Spread two or three layers of absorbent paper on the corrugated paper first, and then put a layer of flowers. After placing three layers of flowers and plants in this way, cover them with corrugated paper, clamp the four sides with iron clips and put them on the hearth. 2, flowers and plants used to make flowers, such as amaranth, grass chrysanthemum and so on. , are naturally air-dried. Third, the production of dried flower craft crystal When making dried flower craft, you need to prepare scissors, tweezers, glue, pencils, cardboard, fine iron wires and ribbons. This kind of handicrafts can be divided into two kinds: plane handicrafts and flower-branch craft crystals. 1. When beginners make plane crafts, they can draw a sketch on the cardboard (or lens) with a pencil according to their own materials and pictures in books or magazines, and then stick it carefully with a brush dipped in glue. Don't dip too much glue, otherwise it will affect the beautiful picture. Paste and air dry naturally. If there is a plastic plane film sealing machine, you can assemble the cards and seal them with plastic film, which will increase the storage time and make them more beautiful. 2. Making flower branches (bundles): arrange dried flowers in the shade, tie them into bouquets with ribbons and put them in vases. For example, stick flowers such as wheat straw chrysanthemum on the treated wheat straw, or thread them into flower clips with thin iron wires, or match them with dried green bristlegrass, reeds and bamboo. , and tied into a bouquet with Ranchuan ribbon, which is a very beautiful handicraft. Chrysanthemum morifolium should be in the early flowering stage, while Limonium sinense and thousands of safflower must be collected in full bloom. Simply put, use clean and dry fine sand to find a piece of printing paper to make a paper box that can hold flowers. Bury the flowers in a paper box with fine sand and put them in a dry place. It will take two weeks.

Question 5: How to make dried flowers Method 1: Hang dried flowers.

1. Choose the dried flowers you want to make, preferably flowers. Flowers that bloom completely and healthily will look better. Remove all the leaves, leaving only the flowers at the top of the stem.

2. Classification, a pile of the same type or size. Big flowers like roses must not be mixed with flowers.

3. Tie the same kind of flowers, wrap a few times around the lower end of the flower stem with thread or ribbon, and tie it tightly to ensure that no flower branches will fall off when hanging upside down.

4. Hang the bouquet upside down, and hook the thread (belt) around the bouquet with a hook. In short, make sure there is no obvious angle inclination, because the petals will droop in the direction of gravity, so they will form strange shapes after drying. 5. Wait for 2 to 4 weeks, if there are flowers falling during this period, then tie them. Don't touch them at ordinary times. After air drying, you can spray some hair styling agent such as water to help shape the petals.

Method 2: Use a mixture of borax and corn flour to make dried flowers.

1. Preparation materials: a sealable container, borax (which can be bought in handicraft shops or household goods stores), corn flour (or sand) and flowers of your choice. This method is not suitable for particularly fragile and elegant flowers, because the petals may fall off during the production process. Mixing a spoonful of iodized salt can make the color bright as new, although it is not effective in all cases.

2. Mix borax and corn flour and put them in a container. Borax is used to dry flowers, and corn flour is used to support the shape of flowers and prevent them from drying. Make sure the mixture is enough to cover all the flowers.

3. Put the flowers in the container, put them on the mixture, and then slowly cover the mixture with a spoon. Some grass can be added to the sand to keep the petals in a natural state and avoid distortion. Finally, the flowers should be completely buried in the mixture and the box cover should be covered.

4. Wait, from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the moisture in the petals and the humidity of the air. Check regularly whether it is dried according to your ideal state, and you can take it out when appropriate. Brush off the sand and enjoy your work!

Method 3: Drying with silica.

1. Spread a layer of silica (desiccant) particles in the box. It's better to reseal the box, which is big enough and deep enough to bury flowers.

2. Bury the flowers in silica gel (with the help of a spoon), and the flowers with large petals will have a better effect in the end. Make sure that every part of the flower branch is hidden in silica gel particles.

3. Wait, silica gel dries fastest, usually only 2-3 days! Of course, some wet flowers need 5 days, but they won't last more than 5 days at most! Silica gel particles will turn pink after absorbing enough water, which usually means that the items you need to dry are finished.

4. Carefully take out the flowers and remove the attached silica gel particles. Now that the flowers are dry, go and decorate them!

5. Reuse silica gel particles. When they turn pink, put them on a plate, then put them in the oven and turn them on at 200 degrees. In about an hour, the silica gel particles will be brand-new (reserved for later use)!

Method 4: Embossing

1. Choose flowers, small and flat flowers are the most suitable, stems should not be too thick and round, and flowers should not be too three-dimensional. Commonly used are pansy and lilac.

2. As for the flowers on dry paper, it is best to use a shadowed backing paper, such as newspapers, cardboard napkins, etc. Put on your favorite shape, and of course it will be the same when you press it out. Put another piece of paper on it and hold it.

3. Press large and heavy objects on paper with flowers, such as dictionaries and encyclopedias, or use heavy boxes and wood.

4. Wait 1-3 weeks to finish embossing. After the first week, remember to replace the original paper clip with new clean paper and put it back under the heavy object.

5. Remove the heavy objects and you're done. You can enjoy the flat and beautiful embossing like a work of art (Can be framed or bookmarked)

Method 5: microwave oven drying.

1. Prepare flowers, which are also small and flat flowers or leaves. Herbs (Chinese herbal medicines) can also be dried in this way, if necessary in the future.

2. put the flowers on the paper towel, there is no fixed arrangement, as long as they don't overlap each other. If it costs a lot, do it a few times more.

3. Put the flowers in the microwave oven and heat them for one minute with medium or high fire. If it is still not dry, replace the used paper towel and reheat it.

4. Take it out of the microwave oven and take off the paper towel. After cooling (at least 10 minutes), it can be used for decoration.

Method 6: oven drying.

1. Prepare flowers. This time, because of the greater firepower, bigger flowers and flowers with thicker stems are more suitable, such as chrysanthemums and zinnia. Cut off an appropriate size of barbed wire or fine mesh, put the flower branches through the mesh, spend them on the barbed wire, and the flower stems will droop ... >>

Question 6: How to make dried flowers The ancient Egyptians preserved elaborate garlands and carefully treated them with grains and herbs for their relatives to enjoy in another world. Medieval monks advocated drying flowers and herbs for medicinal purposes. Victorian women regarded flowers as basic fashion items. They put dried flowers in glass domes to make them smell fragrant. It is also designed into pictures with dried flower seeds, cones, lavender flowers, barley and ribbons. Dried flowers have always been very popular because they can be preserved for a long time, are the most resistant to temperature, and can provide exquisite colors and vivid shapes widely. These are all impossible to imitate by hand. Baking hydrangea plants, Ri Zhang plants, rose plants, Dahlia plants, sunflowers, Xu Changqing plants, delphinium, peony flowers and so on in the afternoon not only saves money, but also arranges a large number of unique plant raw materials. For example, the harvesting of plant raw materials should be carried out in the early morning or late at night, because the plants are already full of water at this time. Before the plants are cut, it is better to have no dew or rain. Cut flowers should be cut when they are still strong, that is, before they are fully open. You can also cut the flowers when they are near bud stage and let them open in a vase filled with water. When all the flowers are in full bloom, take them out of the water and start drying.

Question 7: How to make dried flower crafts has the following procedures: According to the purpose of making crafts, the collected flowers and plants are treated in two ways: 1. Ten flowers for making greeting cards and glasses need to be prepared with absorbent paper, corrugated paper, iron clips and tweezers. Spread 2-3 layers of absorbent paper on the corrugated paper first, and then put a layer of flowers, so that after putting three layers of flowers and plants, put them on. 2. Flowers and plants used to make flower branches, such as amaranth and chrysanthemum, are naturally air-dried. It is best to use flower desiccant, make a good posture, have bright colors, and cooperate with the microwave oven for a few minutes. Drying method: (1) When drying, cut the flower branches short and leave 1-2 inches at the bottom (1 inch =2.54cm). (2) Pour the 2-inch-thick flower desiccant into the container, punch a well-shaped hole in the middle by hand, carefully put the flower head up into the hole, and gather the flower desiccant to the bottom of the flower so that the silica gel can fix the petals. (3) Fill the cup with flower desiccant, slowly pour the desiccant into the container, and let the special desiccant for flowers bury the flowers. When pouring the glue, add it carefully and slowly, so that the petals will not be affected by a big impact and change their natural shape. (4) Check after 2-3 days. If the petals are like dry paper, it means they have dried, otherwise they need to be dried for a while. (The drying time should not be too long, so as not to break the petals easily due to excessive drying. (5) After the dried flowers are taken out, carefully brush off the residual silica gel particles on the petals with a brush for painting. Note: (1) Several flowers can be dried in a container, but they can't touch each other. Used silica gel can be dried and reused. (2) Any well-sealed container, such as cake box and plastic box, can be used as a device for drying flowers.

Question 8: How to make flowers into dried flowers Generally speaking, the production of dried flowers needs several steps, such as picking and finishing, washing and dewatering, softening and decoloring, coloring and setting. Each link has high technological requirements, otherwise it will affect the quality of finished products.

Generally, it is better to pick flowers at 9~ 1 1 in the morning, because there is no dew at this time, and flowers and plants themselves contain moderate moisture, so they are easy to keep fresh, dry and dehydrated after picking. In the afternoon, most flowers and plants are wilting, so it is not suitable for collection. When picking, you can choose flowers with buds or flowers with completely open buds. Picked leaves generally require bright green, but sometimes mature dark green leaves are also needed. The collected flowers and plants should be treated immediately or stored in the shade for preservation.

Generally, flowers are harvested in mature season, cut and hung in dry indoor air to evaporate water. In order to prevent tissue from shrinking and keep its natural color better, hot air should be used for rapid drying as much as possible. Hang the cut flowers head down so that the top of the stem remains hard during drying. You can hang the cut flowers on iron wires or shelves, but don't use plastic bags, because it will affect the evaporation of water and be easy to get moldy.

Among them, dehydration, decoloration and softening are the most important three links. If dehydration is not complete, the shelf life of dried flowers will be affected. Poor decoloration will make the color of dried flowers turbid and impure; Softening directly affects the flexibility of dried flowers. So buy dried flowers carefully.

When making dried flowers, cut them when the weather is dry. The flower stems should be kept for a long time, and the leaves should be removed, because the leaves prolong the dehydration process and often shrink and lose their ornamental value. Large cut flowers (such as delphinium) should be hung on a single branch to dry. If they are tied into bundles, they will easily crush each other after drying. Generally, cut flowers can be tied into small bundles, and the flower heads are separated from each other so as not to be damaged by squeezing. After a few days, the cut flowers will slowly dry, feel crisp when touched by hand, and the petals will become fibrous. At this time, they have been made into dried flowers and can be used for decoration.

Question 9: How to make dried flowers? Natural drying method, in order to keep its natural color as much as possible, hot air can be used for rapid drying. If you need a certain shape, it's a little more complicated. If you want to flatten it, you can dry it by pressing something. If you need a shape, you can stick the flowers on the cardboard or lens according to the required shape, cut them with a knife, and then dry them.

To make dried flowers, choose flowers with less water content. Usually annual hay. Because when making dried flowers, the shorter the drying time, the better the original color of the flowers can be maintained. Therefore, the choice of flowers should be very careful. Try to choose varieties with more fiber or less water in petals, branches and leaves, such as Solanum lyratum Thunb., Maiganju, forget me, Acacia, Setaria viridis, Cao Xia, etc.

There are many drying methods, but the natural drying method is the easiest to make. Generally, flowers are harvested in mature season, cut and hung in dry indoor air to evaporate water.

"Tie the bottom of the bouquet with a rubber band and hang it upside down in a dry and ventilated place. After two weeks, the dried flowers will be finished. "

There are many ways to make dried flowers, from the most advanced microwave drying technology, freezing or vacuum drying method in the world to the traditional dry flower making technology with complicated technology, all of which require certain equipment and technology, which is difficult for ordinary flower arranging lovers to do. The hanging natural drying method is the easiest to learn and do. The specific method is: according to the above requirements for picking flowers, the stems of collected flowers are cut to the required length according to the overall design requirements, and after removing about 90% of leaves and redundant paper strips, the drying moisture is greatly reduced, which will greatly promote the drying process and preserve natural colors.

For the convenience of hanging, mix the arranged flowers into bundles with ropes. Each bundle usually has 2-3 flowers, such as many flowers, but there is only one flower in a bundle. Then hang it in a place where water can evaporate quickly, such as indoor air circulation or near heating pipes. Avoid hanging on windows, because it is wet when it rains, or the flowers are damaged by direct sunlight; Also avoid sticking to the wall, because the poor air circulation will destroy the primary colors of the flower branches and affect the effect of flower arrangement.

After the flowers are completely dried, they should be moistureproof. They can be stored in boxes or glass covers and hung for later use.

There are many ways to make dried flowers, but natural drying is the simplest. Generally, after flowers are harvested in the mature season, they are cut and hung in indoor dry and hot air to evaporate water.
