I want to dry flowers and leaves for craft projects. What is the best way?
I know I can use silica gel, but I don't know if that would be too expensive. I also know I can use a book or build a press. How do I build a press? You advice would be greatly appreciated. Please not that I want to do this on a fairly large scale, so keep that in mind.
Sorry. I put this in the wrong category. Lets say they are edible. That will fix it. Thanks for everyone's help!
you can leave them out in the sun. or use those silica gel things you get in your shoes. you can put a leaf in between 2 pages of a book, and after a week or so it should be dried up. but the best thing i can think of is leaving them out in the sun. also why not use them in your projects as they are now and eventually they'll dry.
