How to make flower specimens in six steps

The six steps of flower specimen practice are as follows:

The manufacturing steps are as follows:

1. Collect flowers after the dew dries in the morning.

2. After harvesting, cut the stem into required length, and remove a small number of leaves, redundant side branches and damaged parts.

3. Tie a suitable bouquet with a string and hang it upside down in a ventilated and dry place before it becomes discolored or clumsy.

4, don't bask in the sun, it is easy to change color, and don't squeeze the flowers too tightly, which is easy to get moldy.

5, perennial wild flowers, hydrangea, delphinium, mimosa, Ai Ju and other flowers, need to be tied into sticks with fine twine and hung upside down on the hook or string, but be sure to stay away from the wall.

6, papyrus, lavender, Puweihua, inserted in a container with a large opening to dry, so you can fan it out.

The production method comprises the following steps:

1, natural drying method.

This method is to put the flowers in a cool, dark, dry, clean and ventilated place and let them dry naturally. Suitable for grass flowers with more cellulose, used to make three-dimensional dried flowers.

2. Normal temperature pressing method.

This method is a common method to make flat dried flowers. Put the flower branches in absorbent paper, put them on a flat plate, and press heavy objects (such as stones and bricks). ) put it on it, put it in a well-ventilated place and dry it naturally.

In the large-scale production of dried flowers, specimen clips can be used instead of heavy objects. When using this method, it should be noted that the absorbent paper should be replaced in time within 1-3 days after pressing. This method can also be combined with heating and rapid drying, that is, the day after the flowers are pressed, or when they are about to dry, the absorbent paper with flowers is lightly branded with an electric iron several times, and then pressed as usual until it is completely dry.

This not only has a fast drying speed, but also can kill insects and sterilize, which is beneficial to the preservation of dried flowers. However, some flowers, such as orchids, will fade when exposed to high temperature, so this kind of flowers should not be heated.
