How to Dry Flowers - Supplies
You will need 4 different kinds of flowers with 6 to 8 blossoms, stems, and leaves. Try to collect flowers from outside, if you can't then visit a flower shop. I purchased these flowers at the grocery store.

You will also need the following:

  • scissors with rounded or blunt tips
  • basket or large grocery bag
  • several sheets of newspaper
  • ruler
  • string
  • closet clothes rod or laundry drying rack
  • two 8" long pieces of 1/2" wide satin ribbon
  • 2 small vases
Once you've chosen your flowers and gathered the materials, you're ready to get started - Sorting the Flowers.
