[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Absolutely love these my goodnesssss I have a few videos to catch up on ! and so exciting knowing that you dried them out to use in resin too xxxx love this :) xx thanks girl xx

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Thanks lovely!! I vowed I'm going to dry out at least a few petals from any flowers I get ......... Problem is I don't generally get flowers 😄 Maybe valentine's Day 😉 Oh and I've no green thumb but I somehow end up with some lovely flowers in the garden that I can use in Spring 🌼💐

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

@@CraftynotShiftyblog I never get flowers ... would have to buy my own ! But this has inspired me to do that xxx

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Yass! If Darren ever buys flowers he says they are for the house not me and they are picked up with the weekly shop 😄

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

@@CraftynotShiftyblog 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yup that would be Tim ! Haaaaaa

[@DIYDreamWeddingsUK]

Very pretty, simple idea too

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Thank you, it's a really great one to try

[@KristieMarcotte]

You are always so fun, Laura! I love your DiTry videos. The roses turned out beautiful using the proper silica. I like that you still tried the cat litter type. 🌹

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Ahh thank you 🥰 I really enjoy the testing and experimenting. Imagine if the cat litter had worked 🤯 £3 would have been the ultimate bargain hack!

[@JoanOrloffDK]

WOW fabulous roses Laura 🥰 I love your DITRY projects, it's fun to seeing what you make ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

[@JoanOrloffDK]

[@gen-thethreadedbobbin]

Adorable! Thank you for sharing!

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Thank you! I can't stop looking at them 🥰 they are so pretty and I can't kill them 😄🥀

I have always wanted to dry flowers from special events using flower drying silica. Your experiment turned out pretty. I wouldn't mess with grinding the cat liter either the lung damage that powder can do isn't worth a DIY project. Looking forward to updates on your flowers over the next year.

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Hi Roberta, yes I'm not going to mess with grinding and the dust 🙅‍♀️ The silica gel I used worked so well I'll be drying more flowers for sure 🌹

Thanks Joanne

[@mandybrookeschultz9318]

I want an update.

They are still going strong. They have lost some colour over the year and they look drier than they did on day one but no issues with moulding or anything like that 🌹
