Watch me use silica gel to dry and preserve real sentimental flowers for the very first time and hopefully give you some beginners tips that I learnt along the way! This step by step tutorial should help you avoid same mistakes as I did.
I also create 4 beautiful resin projects with the flowers dried in this video. Next time I will be showing you a wedding bouquet I preserved!
