My Air Dried Roses: you can do it too!

My tiny treasures 🌹

I just cut the rose buds or roses then let them dry for two days in a dry safe spot and I collect and place them in a dim place or in a container to preserve the color.

I now prefer air drying them and storing them over pressing them in books since they have the likeness of it's original form rather than flat. (Although it really depends on what you plan to use them for). For me it is varied but I prefer them 3D rather than 2D.

There's a nice quote that says:

"It cannot rain roses, we must plant it ourselves."

Very true.
Goodness and beauty is something we work hard for. It does not come overnight or instantly.

Have a great day!
