- for voluminous crafts in the form of flowers and bouquets.
We will not be able to fold voluminous crafts from dried leaves, as they are too brittle. Therefore, we will specially process the collected leaves. We divide the solution - 200 ml. glycerin per 400 ml. pure water. In a tight plastic bag, carefully put the leaves that have fallen from the trees and level them, then fill them with the prepared solution. The package with the contents must be hermetically sealed (with a heated knife) or sealed with adhesive tape. Leave this bag in a dark closet for 3-4 days, and then spread the leaves on a paper towel to dry.

- bulk drying of flowers.
According to many seasoned florists, this method of drying autumn flowers preserves their natural shape and color. The cut flower is placed in calcined dry sand for 4 weeks. As a container, you can use a box with a fine mesh at the bottom and a retractable bottom. Flowers with terry and voluminous inflorescences (lilies, dahlias, roses) are placed in the sand with stems down, and with flat inflorescences-baskets (buttercups, daisies, asters, forget-me-nots) - with stems up.
