Drying Flowers with Silica GelCrystals + A Fun Way to Display Them! Garden Answer Lisa: Love this tutorial. I lost a dear friend very recently. I have carnations from his funeral which are still alive in a vase. I'm thinking of preserving them in resin. Looking at your method of preservation, I will probably start with the silica gel crystals first. Then, after a week or so, I'll dip the dried carnations in resin to create a mold. Thanks for this awesome tutorial.

Hi I have a question (hope you or someone replies)
Do the flowers once placed in the silica sand need to be kept in an air tight container?
The bag I've brought says that they do but every video I've seen just has them covered with the sand and left uncovered at the top (layer of sand)

Great video! Quick question though. What happens if you can't get all of the silica gel out?
Also, I'm thinking when my silica gel (the one you recommended) gets here, I'll end up taking a photo of the flowers before putting in the silica because I have the memory of a peanut!

This is an excellent and helpful demonstration. My question is, how do these crystals differ from those included in Wisedry moisture packs? Will they remove moisture from the air the same way, or is there some sort of difference? Thank you again, excellent all the way around!

Hoping someone can help me. I am trying to preserve my sisters wedding flowers as a surprise for herthe flowers seem to dry well and are crispy and almost starting to fall apart but as soon as I take them out of the container they start to soften. What am I doing wrong?

thank you for showing how to dry the flowers// but you also need to dry the leaves or some other kinds of greens to make back ground look green and to enhance your color dried flowers otherwise it looks not natural just put one flower at the center/// sorry to comment

Hi there love your videos I have one question to get the best results so that the pedals dont deteriorate, or break off as youre pulling them from the crystals how long would you say is the best time to leave the flower in the crystals? And thank you in advance

I found these silica crystals very difficult to work with. They got allll over my counters, table and floor and were so hard to finally clean up. Also I did the silica with the microwave and found that most of the flowers lost there nice color.

does anyone have a good link for how to glaze flowers with epoxy after drying them with silicone gel? all I see are resin tutorials that include molds but I just want them preserved in their natural form with epoxy

Hi. I just did a bouquet of flowers using silica powder after watching this few months ago. Just wondering, how long the dried silica flowers will last after we preserved it in the silica powder for few days?
