Precautions for making dried flowers
When making dried flowers, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
First, material selection precautions:
1. Choose fresh and good quality flowers and avoid choosing flowers that are infested with pests or wilted.
2. The best time to pick the flowers is in the best opening period, usually in the morning or evening, when the flowers have relatively little water.
Second, precautions in the production process:
1. Adjust the humidity: make it on days when the relative humidity is low, or use a dehumidifier and other equipment to control the humidity to prevent the flower color from fading or distorting.
2. Storage away from light: During the production and storage process, avoid direct sunlight, choose a cool and ventilated place for drying, or use a dark room indoors.
3. Moderate drying: Too rapid or excessive drying may lead to distortion of color, so you should choose to slowly air dry to ensure that the flowers gradually lose water.
4. Hanging method: Hang the head down to dry to maintain the shape and color distribution of the petals and prevent deformation.
Third, follow-up preservation precautions:
1. Avoid humidity changes: After the production of dried flowers, it is necessary to avoid the humid environment, the sharp change in humidity may lead to the hygroscopic expansion of the petals, affecting the stability of the color.
2. Proper storage: Choose a container with good air permeability to store dried flowers and place them in a cool and dry place. Desiccant can be placed in the storage container to help absorb moisture and prevent the flowers from getting damp.
In summary, when making dried flowers, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of materials, humidity control during the production process, storage away from light, moderate drying and hanging methods, etc., and avoid humidity changes and proper storage in subsequent storage. These considerations will help to create brightly colored dried flowers that maintain their natural beauty.
