  • Hang bouquets upside down in a dark closet – they will dry faster and keep their colors.
  • Dry large amounts of flat flowers by placing them face down in a telephone book. The paper dries them faster and the darkness keeps their colors.
  • Keep flower arrangements alive longer by mixing a crushed un-coated aspirin in the water.
  • Coat Spanish moss lightly with white glue and place it where you want it. The glue sticks it into place and dries clear.
