RunAwayLove 05-20-2008, 07:45 PM i heard a rumor that if you spray them with hairspray they will stay together better...has anyone done this? i dont want to ruin them :D truzbabygirl 05-20-2008, 07:55 PM I've heard that too. I've never tried it before tho'. LindsayLin 05-20-2008, 07:59 PM I don't know. Interesting. Maybe google it? LindsayLin 05-20-2008, 08:00 PM Found this .. "What do you treat dried flowers with? Most of our flowers we simply air-dry. We do not recommend spraying or 'treating' them with anything. Regarding the wives tale about spraying your drieds with hair spray: there are a few (i.e. Globe Amaranth) flowers that have 'wimpy' stems, which under high humid conditions get limp and bend. These types of flowers will benefit with a spray of 'humidity sensitive' hair spray." http://www.driedflowersdirect.com/dried_flower_questions.htm RunAwayLove 05-20-2008, 11:31 PM humidity sensitive hairspray...? interesting thanks!!! seabeefiance 05-21-2008, 12:13 AM i have actually done the hairspray thing and it suprisingly works very well! RunAwayLove 05-21-2008, 12:14 AM did you spray it while they were still drying or when they were fully dried out? sierramist87 05-21-2008, 12:15 AM never tried it but it sounds interesting brentscrystal 05-21-2008, 12:54 AM I've never used hairspray, but I've dried them hanging upside down. This way they don't dry wilted over... RunAwayLove 05-21-2008, 12:54 AM yah they are currently hanging upside in my closet:D estacia 05-21-2008, 12:57 AM I've never used hairspray, but I've dried them hanging upside down. This way they don't dry wilted over... yep that's what i do to!!! i keep all my flowers i get. i can't bring myself to throw them away!!! RunAwayLove 05-21-2008, 01:01 AM i threw all of mine away when i moved...BUT i just got some from db for my bday and i want to keep them :D Nikki_D 05-21-2008, 01:34 AM I've never used hairspray to save them. I usually save open blooms by using the Silica Gel that you can get at Michael's. Otherwise I dry them upside down RunAwayLove 05-21-2008, 09:46 AM hmm yah i have them upside down:D i shall see how it works out:P |
