[@JulieHiltbrunner]

It takes 2 weeks to 1 month to dry roses.

[@princessperibanu380]

I LOVE the colour and texture of dried flowers! Did you grow those beautiful Rose's? Another way to preserve is using glycerin. I did some Bay Magnolia leaves years ago for Christmas, and they're still green and pliable. You can set them in a jar to draw up the glycerin, or submerge them. I microwave some of my herbs that I use for teas, and they usually turn out with even better colour than if I sun-dried them. Try putting the flower between 2 paper towels and ONLY do for 1 minute. That should be sufficient for most items. If not, then do 20 second increments. There is a drawback with some materials if they are high in minerals; Stinging Nettle will start a fireworks display in the microwave due to it's high iron content! It's great for Basil, which usually turns black when drying using other ways, though it will lose a little of it's delicious anise smell. I do most basil as pesto and freeze in ice cube trays, I also store it in olive oil which works pretty good too. A great tool for flowers is a chopstick. Helps reach those hard to get to places. Your Roses are so fabulous! Do they retain scent when you use Silica? You're such a bizzy, bizzy bee! 🐝🥀🐝 P.S. I think you need an Aloe plant standing by for your burns. Works wonders immediately! I heard it must be at least 2 years old to get those benefits. Adios! :))

[@zaina750]

Hi. Great video! I just want to ask whether we can use the same silica gel over and over again or will have to buy more for each flower?

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

You can reuse. Just bake it to dry it out every couple of months. Sorry I missed your question 1 year ago!!

[@tiffany7591]

have you tried the upside down hairspray method? I want to try it but I want to know if it works well before doing it to my flowers

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

I use a spray product specifically for flowers- supposed to retain the color. I bet hairspray would work but would probably discolor over time.

[@emilyo1817]

if i dont get the limited version of my album, ill definitely do this.

[@bermuda6635]

Just starting to dry flowers . Used the book method, which worked for small Flowers. Problem being most of the color dissipates . So from watching your video it seems the silica gel is the best method to hold color. Please correct me is I am wrong. Video was very helpful

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

I think silica gel keeps the color the best. I did not like it on red roses because they turn black. White roses aren’t really that pretty either but the pink, orange roses, yellow roses come out pretty good. One weird thing I don’t like about it is that when you hold the flower you can kind of still hear a couple of the silica beads jiggling around in them you can’t ever get all of them out.

[@kaylajohnk3271]

Thank you for the tutorial! What was that spray you used?!

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Floral protectant

[@Peleski]

I think the hot glue is a good idea to keep the petals together. Generally if you wave a heat blower gun over those annoying strands of hot glue they will dissipate, but I don't know if the force would be too much. I suppose if you held the flower upside down and blew downwards it might be ok.

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Worth a try!

[@crofterlass3459]

How do you stop them from breaking up ..as so brittle after drying with silica..beautiful work ❤

I'm actually thinking about preserving the thorny parts for my fence projects, this might work out

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

The thorny parts dry out fine just hung upside down. Cool idea!

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Brilliant. Do you have to bake the silica gel after a while to re-activate it? I know that you DID heat it up, but how long does it last if you don't? My wife does a LOT of floral arrangements with silk flowers and uses a hot glue gun. She burns herself every time, sometimes more than once. The glove idea sounds like it might work. Great narration as well! Be well, and stay safe.

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

I used the beads for 2 weeks before they needed to be dried out again. I figured out that can be done in the microwave, too.

[@marianwielkopolski2215]

Hi Julie! Great video! I was wondering whether you have tried drying the complete rose i.e. a top of the flower and a stem? I really need the complete flower in my project without using glue or detaching the stem from the flower in the process. I look forward to your answer! Maybe other viewers have some experience with it? : )

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

To do what you’re asking here’s what I would do: Get a PVC tube to put the rose in. You will have to fill it most of the way with silica gel so you’ll have to duck tape the bottom or something. Then buy as many bags as you need to fill that tube. You’ll have to carefully pour it in around the top of the rose. I don’t do it because the bags of silica gel or 20 bucks each. But it’s totally doable.

[@OurRetireEarlyJourney]

Thats really great!

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Thanks so much!

[@jonrenny3107]

It’s very cute that she says hot glue is the most painful substance that someone can get on their skin…. Maybe for a arts and crafter lol. Love the video and I just ordered 10 pounds of silica from Amazon.

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

I’ve been told it’s harmful to inhale the dust. Maybe consider a mask or respirator when pouring. Seriously- it is sooo painful! 😂

[@mahsakasiri4919]

how long do the roses last with Silica Gel method? and can I submerge the rose stems in Silica Gel as well to not have to glue it on later? Thanks! really enjoyed your video 💗

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Thanks for your comment. So if you wanted to keep the stems on, you could put the rose into a tube then you need to fill silica gel in around the rose with the stem. I just remove it to make it easy to stack up a bunch of roses together . I leave it in there for about a month. And then they can last one to two years before you get bored with them.

[@ashleybailey7887]

Can you preserve the stem also?

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

I came up with a great idea. Cut a hole in a cup for the stem for the flower is in the cup and the stem is poking out the bottom. Tape around. Fill with silica gel beads. Put a lid on it. Not you have to have a shelf with holes or a bin to support it.

[@joandos4038]

Very pretty. How long do they last when preserved with silica gel’s?

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Maybe forever? Long time.

[@Arnoldman-ep9gw]

I want to do a Marie Antoinette room, with a lot of roses in vases . Would be perfect

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Would love to see it! Sounds amazing. 😻

[@StinkyDustyBird]

So I’ve done this, one problem I had is they keep drying, I have a sunflower on my shelf and it curled and got crispy. Do I need that spray for after? Do I rinse them? The dust of silica is still there even though I brushed it with a brush and is enough to continue to dry them.

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Don’t rinse them. I’ve never tried sunflowers this way. But sunflowers are where sunflower oil comes from. Maybe all that oil is gathering the dust.

[@StinkyDustyBird]

Julie Silversmyth all of them kept disintegrating. I couldn’t leave them in for more than a couple days, cosmos, petunias, coreopsis, so many just fell apart taking them out. Sunflowers did the best but continue to crumble. Sunflower oil is from the seeds, these didn’t have seeds yet.

[@azitarazi3241]

Hi, can the roses be placed in the silica with their stems still attached ( to avoid hot gluing them later for arrangements?

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Yes. Buy 7 bags of silica gel and stick into a tube or build a box around the flower head with the stem sticking out the bottom then cut holes in a shelf board and have the stems go down through it.

You can just cover completely and put a lid on. The instructions are on the package. I didn’t like the results when I microwaved the beads. Only do that if you are in a hurry and the color or the finished product doesn’t matter to you. That would be for example if you planned to spray paint the flower. Good luck! 🍀

Can i preserve flower with it stem?

So yesterday i thought of a way! You’ll need to build a box or cut a cup with a hole in the bottom. Put the cup around the flower head. Tape around the stem. Put a stack of books on each side to support it, or if you have a bunch drill stem holes through a long board. Maybe you need a video explanation.
