Different methods for drying flowers?

Hanging

The most traditional and earliest-known method of drying flowers is by simply hanging them. First, remove all leaves and tie the stems together in small bunches using rubber bands or soft string. This will move with the drying flowers, preventing damage to the stems. Next, hang your bunches (stems up) in a cool, dry, dark place. Depending on your flower choice and environment, expect one to four weeks to achieve complete dryness.

Silica Gel

Silica gel is a crystal-like substance that helps remove moisture. For anyone in a time crunch, this is the perfect method for quick results.
