Ok, its that time of year and folks are cutting daffodils by the score! I find to dry them, just make a fresh flower arrangement with them or put them in a vase, do add water to enjoy them fresh for a few days and then forget about them. Left the water dry up, let the daffs dry out and whalah, paper flowers.

Some flowers to use that will dry good the same way are freesia, lily of the valley, hyacinths, roses.. I am sure there are others, but thats just off the top of my head for now.

These shown below are not fully dry, but getting there. They hold their color for a while, so if "paper" flowers are your thing.. there ya go!
