Dry flowers

After the holidays in the vases there are fading roses, which are very unfortunate to throw out, but dried ones do not look very presentable either. To preserve dry flowers, you can use a very simple technology. Roses, without waiting until they finally fade, hang down with their "heads" - I pin them with pins to the curtains. After a few days, the roses "reach their condition" - their petals are dried to the end.
When a lot of flowers accumulate - you can start decorating them. To do this, you only need spray cans of different colors. I took gold, burgundy, coral, copper and silver paint. Roses of dark color after drying become almost black - and they will look very nice silver or copper shade.
Roses of light color, when dried, turn yellow, but do not darken - and any enamel can be used on them (but, in principle, any shade can be used on dark colors as well - you just have to spray the paint thicker).
Getting started, you need to prepare a place where the paint does not stain the furniture or floor. To do this, cover everything around with newspapers - because aerosol enamel scatters far in the form of dust, consisting of microscopic particles of paint. If there is an opportunity - it is best to go outside, then you will not have to breathe harmful fumes and clean up after work. A glove or a plastic bag should be put on your hand - it’s more convenient to hold flowers by the stem so as not to get dirty.
I first sprayed dark roses with burgundy and coral enamel, and then on top with silver and gold paint.
I immediately covered light roses with gold and copper paint. Aerosol enamel dries very quickly - 10-15 minutes. After drying, the roses become elastic and not so fragile. Now you can make various compositions from them, fill them with buds and decorative bowls.
