To choose fresh, half open flowers, prepare other color paper, scissors and other tools. Repair the flowers and cut them from the branches, so that each flower becomes independent, and the stalk is 25 to 30 cm. Then put the flowers together one by one, pay attention to the angle, and then fix the lower end, hang them upside down to dry. Finally, modify its shape properly and fix it with ribbon.

Prepare flowers and tools

When choosing flowers, we should pay attention to several points. First of all, if it is fresh, without rotten or withered flowers, in addition, it is better to have half opened flowers. This is because, if it is in full bloom, the petals will be extruded and deformed, and the final effect is not good. There are other tools, such as colored paper, scissors, tape, etc.

2. Prune the flowers and branches.

Cut from the branch, so that each flower is independent, which is conducive to a better look after the shape. The length of the flower pole should be controlled, 25 to 30 cm is the best

Bundle and dry.

After trimming, straighten out the flowers and put them together one by one, paying attention to the angle of placement. Finally, a fan-shaped or hemispherical bouquet will be formed. Then, fix their lower ends with adhesive tape, and then place them in a cool place with good air circulation. Pay attention to hanging upside down, so the effect is good. About half a month later, the flower pole will turn yellow green, which means it's dry.

4. Organize the shape

After drying, the whole bouquet can be treated with colored paper and other tools to make its appearance more beautiful. Cut off the extra branches and modify its shape appropriately. After all, it can be put indoors as decoration, but don't have strong light, or dry flowers will fade easily.
