Don't dry washing in there without plenty of Air circulation
If you want to give them a softer color with a bit of depth, soak them in a strong brew of black tea for about 20-30 minutes, rinse well and dry upside down. Do a few tests - try less time, more time - you can always soak them longer. Another idea is to paint a couple layers of plaster of paris on the leaves and spray a glaze on them for a porcelain finish - paint them for fall and maybe create a mobile. It gives you some other creative spark to work with.
I also toss some into potted plants and switch out for the seasons. Just a couple blossoms brighten up the planter.

Make wreaths with them for gifts or the change of seasons, holidays, or birthdays. Make a center piece for the table, think of arranging in 3's or a triangle....for example 3 dark purple at a triangle corner shape, then 3 pink next to them in triangle shape, etc, and a single spectacular one in the middle with lots of greenery tucked in. Make a pretty bouquet for the coffee table. Flowers are always nice at any time for anyone. Give small gifts to shut ins or nursing home residents, there are many lonely people who would appreciate such a gift.
Some funny ones:
-take the more realistic ones and plant them in the yard!
-pop the tops off and glue onto hats to pretty them up
-paper mache the flowers and make into 3D art
