It’s been 2 weeks now and our roses are ready to be taken out of the silica gel. So slowly pour out some of the silica gel till you are able to see the flowers. (Depending on the type of flowers that have been chosen for the drying process and how many petals contained, it can take up to 2-8 weeks or longer) Once you have enough around your flowers proceed to cover the top of the flowers till you can’t see the flowers anymore like that. Now take your silica gel and pour around the flowers and not on top because you don't want to flatten them and ruin the shape of your flowers, so go around them slowly and build around the flowers.
Then make sure to have your flowers stem cut short and place it upright into the silica gel make sure it stands up right like that. Small plastic container (to remove the silica gel)įirst what you’ll want to do is put a layer of silica gel in at the bottom of the container.
