Floral Friday: Dried Flowers

Any time I have fresh flowers, I don't throw them away immediately after they die/dry out. I think they are beautiful even in death, so I let them stick around in their vases for a while. Hanging dried out flowers is great too. Or, you can press them (do a quick google search) for use in countless crafts--think cards, bookmarks, even phone cases. Next time you get a bouquet, hold off on tossing them at the first sign of a withered petal--just make sure to dump out the water so they don't get moldy!
