You can save some of that beauty for longer by preserving fresh flowers. Air-drying flowers is a traditional method of keeping flowers around for a little longer, although it takes several weeks and the flowers will lose a bit of color. You can also dry flowers in the microwave using silica sand to speed up the process and preserve more color. If you're feeling more adventurous, try using paraffin wax to coat flowers and keep them looking bright and healthy for months. Once you have preserved your flowers, you can arrange them in a jar however you like. </p> </div> <div class="clearall"></div> <div class="wh_ad_inner w_label al_grey" data-service="adsense"

Remove the excess leaves, cut the stems down to fit in the jar you're using, and tie the flowers together with string. Hang them upside-down in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Once they're dry, spray them with hairspray to help them last longer. Then, arrange them in the jar and seal it with a lid.
