drying hydrangeas::

I may be a little late but, have you seen the hydrangeas lately? My dear friend gave me permission to cut some blooms for drying. I love how the petals take on a vintage look don't you?

Here's some tidbits on how to dry hydrangeas:
Leave blooms on the shrub till late summer
~ Cut blooms, strip off leaves
~ I shake them to make sure bugs fall off if any
~ Arrange them with or without water in a vase till they dry

~ You can gather a bunch of blooms and hang upside down but, you can get the same results by just putting them in a vase to dry (I've tried both methods)

Dried hydrangeas add charm to any decor. Enjoy your hydrangeas this time of year. Have a great weekend!
