Fresh Flowers to Dried Flowers♡
What do you all do with fresh flowers you receive, such as table arrangements at weddings where you attended as a guest, or bouquets gifted to you by your partner for anniversaries?
I think many people used to display them in a vase while they were beautifully bloomed and just throw them away once they wilted, but
from now on, turning them into "dried flowers" to enjoy for a longer time is also recommended, as it adds a touch of a refined lifestyle♡
If you only have one or two flowers and they're light, you can also recommend clipping the stems together with clips like this*

If you want to make dried flowers using items you already have at home, using a regular clothespin hanger for drying laundry can also be good♡
However, since the force of clothespins is quite strong, it’s essential to hang flowers with thicker stems*
