With 24 flowers to make, you'll want to set up a large space with proper ventilation, an area to dry petals, and a mindset that it will take several steps. I like to make these over the course of a few days!

If spraying, you need to build in an extra week of dry time. This allows the piece to dry completely and have a neutral smell.
