The best way to spice bouquets of dried flowers In addition to each of our dry bouquets, perfectly prove themselves a number of decorative twigs with foliage, fruits or interesting designs. This type of grow preferably maintains an aqueous alternative of glycerol. In hot water, dissolve the glycerol inside the ratio 1: 1 or 2: 1, the fluid then cool it on the cold insert, and the depth involving branches approx. 5-7 cm. After approx. 3-6 weeks (dependant upon species), remove the remaining fluid, and the plants put to dry in some recoverable format or newspaper. Such a plant becomes soft, waxy appearance, it is quite flexible and does not break. It is also easier to clean from dust, using a damp towel. This method has a drawback, however, glycerin causes the decomposition involving chlorophyll, so leaves exposed to sunlight changes color to dirty discolored. In order to retain a pleasant color to the solution we add a bit of dye to dye plants (offered by good garden centers) or maybe ink, eg. In green. Glycerine best to maintain a stem with foliage or fruits and grasses: ivy, Barberry, cyprus, boxwood, maple, privet, sea buckthorn, old man. To best use the fresh plant or basic aniline dyes, which are well ingested. Staining lasts approx. 15 minutes. A wonderful addition for you to any composition with dried flowers, are twigs with berries like rowan, Ghostlight or wild went up by (naturally harvested, dried or preserved glycerine). A similar role is usually played by seed minds tomatillo, poppies and cumin, as well as multi-colored twig dogwoods (discolored and red) or maybe interesting shoots of broom. Also, do not forget this cones, which are extremely subtly, and sometimes they can be employed together with an olive (larch).
