Extra tip: after they are dry get some Minwax Polyurethane Clear Gloss spray (Lowes and Home Depot has them). Spray a thin coat over your dried rose. Allow that to sit at least 24 hours and repeat. I often give them 5 or 6 coats. Trust me - it'll be gorgeous! The hair spray helps the flower keeps it's color, as well as it's shape. Don't spray the gloss until it's completely dry and stiff. May take a few weeks. Also - just another tip - I use a clothes hanger. You can tape several flower on it upside down, and then just hang them in a dark closet. They will essentially last forever.
@@jennifergalecia- that's correct. I suggest some trial and error with some roses that have no sentimental value to you. But in my experience I have sprayed them with hair spray when they were fresh, and after they were given time to dry out for a week or two, and have seen little difference in the results. But, to clarify: Hang your rose upside down in a cool, dark place (I use my closet). You can apply hair spray immediately (several times over a few hours) then allow it to dry out, or let it hang and dry out first - then apply hair spray after it is dry. The purpose is still to help hold it's shape and lock the color in. Regardless, after a few applications of hair spray, and it has dried out, start with the clear gloss poly spray. Small layers and rehang to dry. Do that every day for 4 or 5 days. It'll be stunning! (one tip - after each poly layer flip the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the poly out of the nozzle. If you don't it may clog before you can use it again). Hope that helps!
Those are beautiful roses. Believe it or not, I still have the flowers from my husband from our first date over 24 years ago.
That is so awesome!! I wish I thought to dry flowers from the start of our relationship, they make such nice keepsakes and brings back the memories!
How did you preserve them?
So do I and it’s been over 25 years 😂. I have a few of the flowers from the first flowers he ever bought me.

Terima kasih saya baru belajar mengawetkan bunga 😊🙏
You're welcome!
Do you recommend we use hairspray first then the polyurethane clear gloss after?

Try silica gel ! It’s more expensive (24.99) but I’m going to try this for now since it’s low cost
