Tie the stems to a hanger with dental floss. Tie them individually or bunch the stems together with a rubber band.

Allow the flowers to dry upside down in a dark, warm, and well-ventilated area for two to three weeks.

Spray the flowers with hairspray after they are completely dry. Display your dried flowers around your home, keeping them out of sunny areas.
