Dry Flower

Five crafts crafts for dried flowers

It can be difficult to throw a vase full of cut flowers. I am sure I am not one who receives them so rarely that I can not stand to have the treat. I guess that's why I hang them upside down to dry out in my garage. Of course, after awhile, it can start to look like a garden strange and morbid increased the ceiling. But there are many clever ways use your dried flowers to decorate your home or spend the gift to another soul who deserves (although for some uses, you can press the flowers rather than hang to dry).

1. Card stock. You've probably seen those insanely high price maps Cards in handmade paper with leaves and flower petals in knit it. If you do not want to go to the trouble of making your own paper (although, again, you can), you can always make a unique look of your choice. Simply distress pre-made paper or card stock (rub it with coffee, it stains with tea bags, wrinkles and a bit) then rub on a little sticky adhesive and press gently on the petals. You can even sew the edges with a golden thread expensive for a look at little expense.

2. Bags. Instead of buying those little bags handy to keep your scented lingerie drawer, a breathable bag (or one made from linen, lace, or a close network, such as tights), complete with petals, and tie with a pretty ribbon. Voila! potpourri instant. And you can always make a fancier version of gifts.

3. Cutting. If you can not understand what he do with that old coffee table that was in your house forever (you know, the one with the high color), consider giving an floral beauty. Go to your local craft store and pick up some decoupage glue, pitch (which is a smoothing tool is a like a rolling pin, but if you do not want to buy one, opt for popsicle sticks instead) and a sponge or brush. From there, everything you have to do is paint a layer of glue on the surface, place the petals in any pattern or arrangement you choose, and seal it with one or more layers of glue that you can smooth and flatten the pitch (the final result should be good enough, but you may need Lightly sand).

4. Wall art. Old-timey hand-drawn flowers torn from the pages of flora and fauna guides have recently appeared in stores around the sign of chic, art framed for your bathroom. So make your own by pressing wild flowers small, stick to the paper yellow card, and write their names in Latin script. Then, throw them in an old frame that you have found a garage sale to give them that antique look you love it (minus).

5. Hats. If you're one of the many women who appreciate a good hat, well then your brim with flowers dried. Probably the best method of drying them is to use glycerin (which leaves the flowers slightly malleable and lasts longer time than other methods). Just dip them in a solution of two parts warm water to antifreeze party (or glycerin others) to two to three weeks before you dry. Once they are completely dry, just stick them on your hat with pins or ribbons. They will not last forever, and you want to avoid the wet, but they can make a most beautiful season with your favorite summer hat.
