You can ALSO use Cat Litter!!! A florist believe it or not told us to use cat litter to dry my daughters bouquet from her wedding. And we did and have dried other flowers using the cat litter. It has to be the sand kind. Just put some in a rectangle cake pan about an inch....carefully lay your flowers on top of that and slowly and carefully sprinkle cat litter on top of the flowers until they are totally covered. Keep it in a dry place and about a week later they will be dried. Added Bonus....when the flowers are dried...you can REUSE the kitty litter in the cat box. :)
