The garden, borders, cocktail glasses and vases are full of beautiful plants and flowers in the prime of their lives. Extend their life by drying them! We wrote previously about how to dry flowers in three classic ways, but simply hanging them on the clothesline can be done - with a little adaptation. Here's how to do it!
How to make it
Arrange small bunches of the same plants and hang them upside down to dry. For best results, do so in a place in the shade, where it gets warm. After a few days, they will be dru. You can test this by squeezing the stem. Is it no longer flexible and stays unyeilding? Then your dried plants are ready to shine!
After drying
Dry bouquets or vases combining fresh and dry stems have become increasingly popular in recent years. Dried flowers and plants are enormously versatile. Frame them or turn them into a stylish sphere; they also look great placed simply in a vase. What's more, a single plant stem with subdued colour can provide just the tranquillity that a dull corner needs.
