Designing with Dried Hydrangeas

Dried hydrangeas lend themselves beautifully to a variety of arrangements and craft projects.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Elegant Wreaths: Use a wire frame and floral tape to secure clusters of dried hydrangeas into a wreath for your door or wall. Mixing in other dried elements like eucalyptus, lavender, or seed heads can add texture and interest.

• Floral Arrangements: Combine your dried hydrangeas with other dried flowers like roses, peonies, or grasses. Choose a rustic, vintage vase to create a timeless centerpiece for your dining or living room.

• Garlands: String dried hydrangeas along with ribbons and other dried florals to create a stunning garland for a mantel or a special event.

• Pressed Flower Art: If you have delicate blooms, consider pressing hydrangeas to create framed artwork or cards. The intricate details of hydrangea petals make beautiful pressed floral pieces.
