DRYING FLOWERS & CRAFTS
• The flowers should be dry to start with, best if picked after the dew has dried
and before the night damp sets in. Dry the flowers as soon as possible after
picking.
• The best condition for drying flowers is a dry, warm, dark, clean and well
ventilated area, which makes a dehydrator an ideal setting. Flowers will retain
the best color and condition when dried quickly.
• A low temperature should be used to retain the natural oils.
• Strip off the leaves or if you prefer to keep the foliage. Discard any brown or
damaged leaves.
• Place on the Dehydrator Tray in a single layer, avoiding overlapping.
• Drying times will vary considerably depending on the size of the flower and
the amount of foliage. Dry at 100˚F (38oC).
• Dough art and beads can be dried in the Dehydrator. Temperatures may
vary.
