I. Collecting materials

Phalaenopsis, delphinium, geranium, peach trees and other flowers are all good dried flower materials. Flowers should be collected at any time, usually from 9: 00 to 1 1. The collected flowers should be treated immediately or kept in a cool place for preservation.

Second, the material processing method

According to the purpose of making handicrafts, the collected flowers and plants can be treated in two ways:

1. Ten flowers used to make greeting cards and greeting cups need to be prepared with absorbent paper, corrugated paper, iron clips, tweezers, etc. Spread 2-3 layers of absorbent paper on the corrugated paper first, and then put a layer of flowers. After putting three layers of flowers and plants in this way, cover them with corrugated paper, clamp them around with iron clips and put them on the stove or heater to dry.

2, flowers and plants used to make flowers, such as amaranth, grass chrysanthemum and so on. , are naturally air-dried.

Third, the production of dried flower craft crystal

When making dried flower crafts, you need to prepare scissors, tweezers, glue, pencils, cardboard, fine wire and ribbons. This kind of handicraft can be divided into two kinds: plane handicraft and flower arranging craft crystal.

1. When beginners make plane crafts, they can draw a sketch on the cardboard (or lens) with a pencil according to their own materials and pictures in books or magazines, and then stick it carefully with a brush dipped in glue. Don't dip too much glue, otherwise it will affect the beautiful picture. Paste and air dry naturally. If there is a plastic plane film sealing machine, you can assemble the cards and seal them with plastic film, which will increase the storage time and make them more beautiful.

2. Making flower branches (bundles): arrange dried flowers in the shade, tie them into bouquets with ribbons and put them in vases. For example, stick flowers such as wheat straw chrysanthemum on the treated wheat straw, or thread them into flower clips with thin iron wires, or match them with dried green bristlegrass, reeds and bamboo. , and tied into a bouquet with Ranchuan ribbon, which is a very beautiful handicraft. Chrysanthemum morifolium should be in the early flowering stage, while Limonium sinense and thousands of safflower must be collected in full bloom.

Simply put, use clean and dry fine sand to find a piece of printing paper to make a paper box that can hold flowers. Bury the flowers in a paper box with fine sand and put them in a dry place. It will take two weeks.
