Helpful Hints

TO FRESHEN DRIED FLOWERS:
Lightly spritz dried flowers with water, then place them in a sealed container for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the container andóusing a low, warm settingógently blow the dried flowers dry with a hairdryer, while carefully shaping the flowers with your fingers. This works well, for example, on dried peonies.

TO DETANGLE
You can more easily separate tangled and matted material, such as German statice, by using the same technique mentioned above: Lightly spritz the flowers with water and store in a sealed container for about 20 minutes until softened and pliable.
Once separated, gently blow dry the flowers.

TO DISINFECT
If you suspect your flowers have a worm or insect infection, place them in a sealed plastic bag or container in a freezer for several days. This should kill most insects.
