My sister recently got married and I of course had to do something fun with her flowers. A while back, I came across what I think is the best product for preserving flowers - silica gel. I love this product because it keeps the flowers shape and color extremely well. Truthfully, it is more expensive than other ways of preserving flowers but you get the absolute best results by far. It's also extremely easy to do and I will be showing you exactly how to preserve flowers using silica gel.
Other ways of preserving flowers include pressing or hanging them upside down to dry. With both of these methods, I find that flowers, such as roses, tend to crumble and completely lose their beautiful color.
After the flowers are preserved, I plan to make resin coasters with them as well as a shadow box, but there are so many possibilities!
