There are many wonderful projects that include using flowers, both live and dried. All you need is a little bit of creativity and time and you'll have a beautiful piece to display in no time. The following are some helpful tips that will help you easily create any floral arrangement your creative mind is able to envision. - Keep a pair of scissors in your purse or bag. You may come across the perfect flower or grass for drying.
- Hang bouquets upside down in a dark closet - they will dry faster and keep their colors.
- Dry large amounts of flat flowers by placing them face down in a telephone book. The paper dries them faster and the darkness keeps their colors.
- Keep flower arrangements alive longer by mixing a crushed un-coated aspirin in the water.
- Coat Spanish moss lightly with white glue and place it where you want it. The glue sticks it into place and dries clear.
