flower is completely covered.
Be very careful not to bend or
crush the petals during this

process,

The neat step is to cover the -
container and store it al room
temperature for} ta 7 days. —

The length for “curing” is
difficult to pinpoint exactly, as
it can vary with which mixture
you use, the temperature and
especially with the kind of
flower you are drying. Thicker
petals, such as those of tulips .
or orchids, will naturally take
much longer than the more
delicate petals of the carnation,

But after a few tries you will
develop a feel for the right -
leneth of time needed in your
home's particular conditions. _

When you think the time is,
right, gently remove the flower
from the mixture. If it is still
“fleshy", return it to its con-
tainer, repack it with fresh mix-
ture and leave it for another
day or so. This will give you #
chance to observe the various
siages the petals go through _
