🌸✨ Get Crafty with Dried Flowers! ✨🌸

Looking for a delightful DIY project that captures the beauty of nature? Look no further! Residents at Hilltop Campus worked on pressed flower jars!

Step 1: Gather Your Blooms
Head out into the great outdoors or visit your local florist to pick out an assortment of colorful and unique flowers. Roses, lavender, baby's breath, and daisies are just a few popular choices. The key is to select blooms that are fully mature but still in excellent condition.

Step 2: Dry with Care
To preserve the flowers' natural beauty, carefully remove any excess leaves and trim the stems to your desired length. Then, hang them upside down in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Patience is key here, as it may take several weeks for the flowers to fully dry. Once they're crisp to the touch, your dried flowers are ready for the next step!

Step 3: Crafty Creations Await
Let your creativity blossom as you embark on your crafting adventure. Here are a few fantastic ideas to get you started:

1️⃣ Pressed Flower Art: Arrange your dried flowers between sheets of parchment paper, placing heavy books on top. After a week, you'll have beautifully pressed flowers ready to frame or incorporate into greeting cards.

2️⃣ Dreamy Floral Candles: Create enchanting ambiance by adorning plain candles with dried flower petals. Simply affix them to the candle surface using a bit of craft glue, and voila! You've got a stunning centerpiece or a heartfelt gift.

3️⃣ Fragrant Potpourri: Combine your dried flowers with aromatic herbs and spices, such as rosemary, cinnamon sticks, and dried citrus peels. Place the mixture in decorative bowls or sachets for a delightful scent that will infuse any space.

Remember, crafting is all about expressing your unique style and embracing the beauty of nature. So, let your imagination bloom and have fun creating something truly extraordinary with dried flowers. Happy crafting! 🌸💫
