I have a beautiful bouquet of long stem red roses that my husband gave me for Valentines Day. So far I've kept them fresh by putting them in the fridge every night and they still look brand new. Now I want to dry them though and use them as decoration in my living room.
I know that usually you are supposed to hang them upside down in a dry, dark place to dry them, but we live in a very humid area (right now the thermometer says the humidity is at 56%).
Would hanging them upside down in a dark place still work or is there some other trick I need to know?
Oh, and FYI, I live in North Africa and we do not have arts and crafts stores here. Any tricks would have to be something simple that I can do at home without having to buy anything special.
How to dry a rose bouquet?
I live in a humid area as well.Hanging them upside down in a dry ,dark area are the usual instructions but I have found that it is also important to hang them where there is good air circulation.The most important parts are not in direct sunlight,hanging upside down and in a warm area with good air circulation.The air helps prevent mold.I live on the coast of British Columbia ,Canada and I have had good results that way.GOOD LUCK !!
Reply:hang then upside down in a closet/washroom. after theyve hung for a week, maybe two, spray them with shilac (spelling?). let them dry real good before you put them in a vase or whatever youre gonna do.
Reply:The answer above is right. If you don't want to by shellac, hair spray works, too.
