**Air Drying**: Just hang your flowers upside down in a cool, dry place. This method works best for sturdy flowers like roses or lavender. After a couple of weeks, they’ll be dried and ready to display!

**Silica Gel**: If you want to keep the color and shape pretty well, try using silica gel. Just bury the flowers in the gel and let them sit for a few days. It’s a bit more involved, but the results can be stunning!

**Pressing**: You can press flowers between the pages of a heavy book or use a flower press. This is great for flat displays like bookmarks or framed art. Just make sure to leave them in there for a few weeks.

**Glycerin Method**: Mix one part glycerin with two parts water and place the flower stems in the solution. This method helps maintain the flowers' flexibility and color, making them look more lifelike.
