How to Dry Flowers for Crafts, Potpourri or Home Decor

I love flowers, when they’re nice and fresh…and pretty……..and alive. When they start slumping over, it makes me want to slump over too. It’s soooooooooo depressing when they start dying. Most of the time I just dump them straight in the trash to avoid a complete depression but sometimes I’ll just dry them out to make potpourri.
The first time I ever dried a flower, I was as sappy then as I am now. Imagine a 12 year old, hormonal, cry at the drop of a hat – pre-teen girl. That was me. My grandma had passed and I wanted to keep a rose from the service. My mom showed me how to dry flowers, and now that same dried flower from Grandma’s service is in a box with some other keepsakes upstairs….20 some odd years later.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Take flowers out of the vase and dry stems really well with paper towels.
