How can you dry fresh flowers?

Especially roses and daisies.

How can you dry fresh flowers?
I agree with the other poster - tying rubber band around the bottom and hanging them upside down works well, but sometimes if you have a large bouquet, the flowers can get smooshed together.





If you have space, try separating some of the flowers, so they don't get compressed by the weight of the flowers.





Also, flowers dry better if they are freshly cut and have not been in water for a long time. If the flowers, particularly roses, have already been in water for a while and are a bit on the older side once you start drying them, they may smell a little funky as you dry them. I've heard that using a few spritzes of hairspray (the stuff with alcohol in it) on them might help them not stink.
Reply:Tie a rubber band around the bottom of the stems and then hang the roses upside down for 4 to 5 days. You will have a beautiful bouguet of dry roses in no time.

Reply:Hang them upside down and after a week or so turn them upright.
