Preserve Flowers the BEST Way Possible! Use Silica Gel!

Learn how to dry flowers with silica gel -- the BEST method for preserving the color and texture of flowers. This is the perfect way to dry flowers for a wedding bouquet. I'm walking you through all of the steps to dry my niece's wedding flowers in this tutorial.

I've gotten so many questions about how to use silica gel to dry flowers, especially wedding bouquets. Learn how to dry flowers using two different methods (traditional and microwave method), and find out how to reuse silica gel multiple times. In a future video, we'll take flowers dried with silica gel and preserve them in resin.

NOTE: Please wear appropriate safety gear (gloves and mask) when working with silica gel, and use it according to the manufacturer's directions.
