Thank you so much for watching! Have you ever tried drying flowers with this technique?
We also used it to dry daffodils which you can see on our Instagram: instagram.com/p/CNfgu0cgVOA/

AMAZING love your daffodils I have ordered so silica crystals but its called sand so just hoping it will do the same job can't wait for it to be delivered 😘❤❤

[@GrandmaWendyCrafts]

wow amazing Thank I have tried drying flowers by pressing them but never worked so will try and get some of these. I did once dry rose petals for wedding confetti just by laying them in a box and putting them in my garden shed with the sun beaming on them to dry them out

So glad you found this helpful. Pressing flowers can definitely be hampered by damp environments or using pages that have no absorbancy (the moisture has nowhere to go). I also just dried some daffodils which turned out great. You can see it on our Instagram account: instagram.com/p/CNfgu0cgVOA/ -Jane

Hi nice but what do you do with it

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

Hello Mahalakshmi. We have a video coming soon using these flowers to make resin pyramids. You could also put them in a shadow box or make a wreath. I also received one in a clear plastic ornament at Christmas with other little embellishments. Thank you for watching! -Jane

I'm curious, if you added them to resin without drying would they go mouldy? I was going to preserve some very sentimental orchid blooms

[@batanghardinero1539]

​@@TwistedTavernyes it would turn brown and discolor badly if you directly put them in resin, you could actually also dry orchid blooms in silica sand

[@papiyakundu1012]

How many times it take?

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

Just one time, but leave it in there for several days.

Hhhmmm.wondering uf leaving the lid off, would be 'better'
