  Can i use on removable vinyl?

  You can use stencil vinyl or removable vinyl. Just make sure the vinyl has no bubbles around the edges where the etching cream might seep through.

  My flowers dried on their own on a vase, they have been in the water for 3 weeks. Can I still do the silica gel or should I just place them in the shadow box? FYI I don't want to pressed them.

• 
  @FirstDayofHome3 күн бұрын

  Hi Pamela. If the flowers are fairly dry already, you won't benefit as much from using silica gel. Silica gel works best when the flowers are still soft and have some of their original color. I hope this helps you make a decision. You may want to grab some silica gel for next time, though! 😊

  @@FirstDayofHome Thank you! So basically it is best to discard them. Or would they last a few on the shadow box?

•

  @pamelarodriguez3091 Oh you can definitely still keep them in a shadow box. They may look more vintage, but I’m sure they would still be meaningful to you and worth keeping.

  Hi, after the silica gel, do you need to apply something to the flowers? I read that sometimes is good to put some hairspray on them.

• 
  @FirstDayofHome8 күн бұрын

  Hi Maria! Yes, you can apply a fixative like hair spray to help the flowers maintain their shape. I don’t usually add anything to mine, but I’m hoping to make a video showing a comparison soon.

  Thank you. I am a masculine single father with a 1880 farmhouse that I am trying to decorate. I was out on the tractor brush hogging the field that isn't pasture and decided I would stop and cut some of the flowers and dry them myself vs paying $30 a bundle for the ones I was looking to buy. I make crafts in my wood shop in my pole barn. I also raise hogs out of my 1890 bank barn on pasture. I love old things, and living natural, eating fresh, home grown foods.

  Beautiful! I loved living in my Mom's house with her and without her. I had hoped I would have been able to stay and buy out my siblings but was unable to. I dug up her hydrangias and my uncle has been keeping them for me until i can buy a little house soneday. I am sorry i didn't dig up one of her hosta plants. Such beautiful leaves that would have been beautiful for this craft. The leaves would fill up with water and the little birds gently would sit on their edge and drink the water. I recently purchased DAS air dry clay to make a mold of my Dad's hand but i do not know how to ask him if i can make the print. I never saw your site until 11 pm 5/1/24. I haven't been able to sleep so i am visiting you once again now at 2:50am. I should try to sleep i start work tomorrow at 7 am. Beautiful crafts you make! Blessings, Rebekah in VA
