Good But Dirty

Decided to dry wedding flowers. I followed the instructions to make it quick (microwave). I didn't like how the flower turned out. It was discolored. So I tried slow drying the flowers and leaving them in crystals. I am very happy with how they came out after drying for 3 days. I would recommend this product but be patient and don't follow the path of the microwave.

Pros
  • Preserve special wedding memories, create home and holiday decorations; the process is simple, convenient and interesting; Great family project
Cons
  • No instructions

This is a good product. There are several options for drying.

This is a good product. There are several drying methods and I have found that microwave drying works best for color retention. I tested some small flowers (for decorations) and they only took a minute to dry completely. The packaging says to continue in one minute intervals, but I tested a few minutes and it was too brittle. 45 seconds to 1 minute worked great and the color was still impressive.

Pros
  • Make memories for a lifetime and capture the ephemeral beauty of flowers with ACTIVA silica gel for drying flowers
Cons
  • I will add later

Flower Preservation

I bought this to store a few roses which I am displaying in a shadow box along with my other wedding items can. Paper instructions were included but they were INSIDE the package which I didn't find until I started the project. It would be helpful if these instructions were posted on the outside. I am rating this 4 stars due to the inconvenience. There are 2 methods of drying flowers - microwave and "normal". I've tried both. The microwaving method has discolored the rose (see image with theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Complete, simple, step-by-step instructions included; Most flowers dry within 2-5 days, use the microwave method to dry the flowers in just a few hours
Cons
  • Crumpled
