To dry roses, flip them upside down (to ensure they dry straight) and spray periodically with hairspray.
Professionals might use a glycerin solution when drying flowers, however, upside down and hairspray will provide sufficient results for most "at home" dryers.
Just wave them in the air on a windy day
To dry flowers quickly and effectively using a microwave, place the flowers between two paper towels and microwave them in short intervals of 30 seconds until they are dry. Be careful not to overheat the flowers, as this can damage them.
There are actually quite a few different ways to preserve flowers. I have received many arrangements and have dried flowers all over! That is how I prefer to preserve them. I wait until they are at the point I want to preserve them at, then I tie a piece of string to the bottom of the stem and hang it upside down until it is completely dry. This preserves the color too. Don't hang it from the wall though, your flowers will have a flat side). A great way to quickly dry flowers while preserving both the color and shape of the blooms is to use Silica Gel, as found in Flower Drying Crystals. These are easy to use, simply place the flowers and Silica Gel in an airtight container. I have used them to dry everything from roses to daisies, wild flowers, to orchids.
To dry hydrangea flowers effectively, cut the stems at an angle and remove leaves. Hang them upside down in a dark, dry place for 1-2 weeks. Optionally, you can use silica gel or glycerin for faster drying.
Property of Silica gel is to absorb the moisture. Colour of dry silica gel is blue and it turns into pink when it is saturated with moisture. When the colour of silica gel turns out pink, the wet silica gel is removed and the fresh silica gel is filled. The wet silica gel can be heated and made dry for reuse.
If dry, silica gel is almost pure silicon dioxide, SiO2.
0.08%
Potato chips do not contain silica gel because silica gel is a desiccant used to absorb moisture and prevent spoilage. Chips are typically packaged in a way that preserves their freshness and crispness without the need for added silica gel.
I think you can dry silicon crystals by microwave. I know it works with silica gell.
