SAFETY TIPS:

We recommend using a plastic container exclusively for drying flowers. Silica Gel is certified safe and non-toxic and conforms to ASTM D4236.

Step 1:

Pour a layer of flower drying art silica gel in the bottom of an air-tight container. Make sure the layer is at least 1” - 2” deep, or deep enough to hold the flowers.

Step 2:

Place each flower carefully making sure they don’t touch each other. Pour silica gel on top of the flowers making sure they are covered completely.

Step 3:

Seal the container and move it to a shelf for drying. Make sure that you don’t tip or shift the content. It is best to not move the container until you are ready to remove the flowers. After 7-9 days, the drying is complete.

Step 4:

When ready, gently remove the flowers and carefully shake out the silica gel with a soft brush

Step 5:

Spray the flowers with hairspray, this will work as a sealer to prevent breakage and color fade.

Step 6:

Let the flowers dry, later start gluing each flower one by one with the glue gun, create your own unique design, add as many as desired.

And it’s ready!
