Flattened Roses with Silica Sand

#lemon8diarychallenge There is so much that goes into the drying process & each flower is so extremely different. It all starts with activated silica gel (which absorbs the moisture out of the flower in the form in which it is laid or placed in it). Want to know more? 🤩 #resinart #preservedroses #flowerdrying #diycrafts

2024/10/10 Edited to

Flattened roses are a stunning addition to any home decor or craft project, and using silica sand for drying is a favored method among floral enthusiasts. This process involves carefully layering activated silica gel around the flowers, allowing it to absorb moisture and preserve their color and shape effectively. When selecting your roses, it's important to choose blooms that are vibrant and freshly picked. Start by cutting the stems at an angle and removing any excess leaves to minimize moisture during the drying process. After placing them in the silica sand, ensure that you cover the flowers completely and store them in a dry area. Typically, the drying process can take a few days. Not only does this method leave the flowers looking good as new, but it also allows for versatile applications in crafts, decorations, and even gifts. You can incorporate these dried flowers into resin projects, frame them for stunning wall art, or use them in homemade cards. As you explore more about floral preservation, keep in mind that the moisture levels and flower types can significantly affect your results, so it’s advisable to experiment with different flowers and techniques. Happy crafting!

Full recipe from Broma Bakery! 🥰☺️ Recipe yields 16-20 cookies depending on how big you make them. I wish mine would have flattened out more and gotten crinkly but they still had a great flavor and so chewy! If you love the sweet and salty combo, you can sprinkle them with extra sea salt.
