Thank you for this video. I'm preserving flowers from my grandmother's funeral

Wow! That silica gel process looks amazing! I am trying to learn how to do this to make a resin gift with funeral flowers for someone who lost their child at a young age from a very rare disease. I don't want to ruin her flowers so thank you so much for this super helpful video! 💕

I love this tutorial. Thank you. I just lost my friend and will be preserving carnations from his casket spray. This tutorial helps because, the carnations are red and I have a long stem white carnation. Your explanations on the deep vs. light color flowers is really helpful.

Thanks for the great tips! I still have difficulty drying flowers, even using silica crystals. But this should help.

Thank you for sharing this. It helps a lot 💕

Thank you for the awesome video! I’ve learned from you

Haha I was just going to suggest you do a video like this! Thanks for the great videos. I enjoy your videos and like seeing things done by another Aussie too👍😊

Thank you for the video! -- in addition -- Drying lavender in a warm dark place w/ airflow helps them retain their fragrance :))

Love the information and tips you shared!! Thank you!

Excellent. Very helpful, thank you.

Trying to dry some flowers from my moms funeral before they die. She passed so unexpectedly. I don’t want to lose them.

Hi, very helpful video!! how does one stop the silica dried flowers from changing color after? My flowers are slowly turning brown from a beautiful purple

Is it necessary to have grind silica gel? Someone suggested me to leave flowers in a air tight box with seleca packets only?

Hi sheri. Can you still resin the flowers if there are bits still stuck between the petals? I.e roses?

is there a specific silica gel to use?

This is awesome just what I needed as my flowers never work out

This was a great video!!! The only way I have ever preserved flowers, were by hanging them upside down, or freezing them. I wanted to preserve them with a more natural look, but wasn't sure what to use, or how to go about it. The other videos I came across were draggy, and all over the place. One person speaking about not having their nails done for the video, another wants to talk about their garden. If I wanted to hear about that, I would have searched it. (Ain't nobody got time for that) By the time they get to the point, or what I need to see and know, (which they didn't) I'd have to buy all new flowers, because the ones I were using, would be dead😂 Your video's audio and visual content was very knowledgeable, and exactly what I was looking for, Thank you! 🙃

What brand silica beads are you using?

Can you display silica dried flowers in frames & let them flatten a bit? Or will they eventually rot? Just curious because I want to make a dried frame not a resin work and my bouquet will mostly be white.

Have you ever done a hibiscus or a plumeria? I can't seem to find nay info on these two flowers.

Thank you

I like the container you used for putting the flowers in the microwave. It's so neat. Where can we buy that?

非常感谢你这个超级有用的视频！！

Hi, I was wondering if you have ever dried lily and put them in resin? I've been asked to make a custom piece but I've never dried a lily before

The centres of my flowers always seem to go mouldy when I put it in resin, any tips how to stop this from happening. I tried keeping the flowers in silica for longer but then the petals get too dry and crumble

I tried drying mine, it was fine but then I put them in an open container in my bedroom and they’ve gone a bit mouldy? Can anyone advice me on how to stop flowers from moulding? Also, I’ve just tried silica gel. Will they rot too?

Do you have to dry/preserve “strawflowers” and Australia native flowers/plants as well this way. TIA

hi wanna know what best works for sunflowers 🥺🥺

CAN YOU PUT UP THE SILICA GEL LINK WHICH YOU USE . IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL.

Hi Sheri ! What silica do you use as I have trouble finding it? Thanks.

Thank you for your help! I’m making a resin necklace with a small pink/red rose 🌹 in it for my 6 year anniversary❤️….. needless to say the first one rotted 😂😅

I have dried some flowers which were beautiful pink in colour when fresh and turned out to be a dirty purple / blue when dried with silica gel. Do you have any tips on preserving the bright pink colour?

How long did you leave your flowers in silica sand? Your videos are amazing! 💙

Please tell me what I’m doing wrong with white roses. I used silica and completely dried them. Used a slow curing resin with less heat not to burn them and they all come out transparent! They lose all their color and you can see right through them. Help please! Keep up the great videos!

How do you store them after you dry them? Do you have to seal it with anything?

I've heard of water with sugar and putting in refrigerator, but never drying them. I don't think they'll look very nice tomorrow. I'll skip.

Great Video :-)

💐♥️💐

Hi I tried drying my flowers in silica and they did perfectly. I wanted to cast them in resin so i needed more flowers which took time. So i kept them in a plastic container for a month. But when I opened it they all got mouldy and got fungus sort of a thing. What did i do wrong and why did that happen.

How long do you leave it in the oven

Is this method work in soap gel ?

Is silica gel reuseable?

Could I dry the flowers in rice instead of silica gel?

The flower silica I bought left tiny dents all over my petals :( I can’t find the super fine silica.

Me watching this video to be able to send them to her on her birthday😅😳 Does anyone know how I package them up, so they dont get damaged?

Thanks - I recently discovered that putting flowers out makes me look like I got my sh$& together, and make a nice sad story, or a happy, inspirational one. Flowers in general are remarkable psychological tools capable of immense emotional manipulation of yourself and others. The colors can can even make the anorexic hungry and difficult significant others completely amenable to subconscious suggestion. Thank you again for enabling the craft of mental triggering!

Thank you
