How do you dry a daisy without turning it brown?
Hey Shanny,





You can take a bag of Silica (sand) and put a layer in a small bowl. put the daisy upside down into the silica, then slowly cover the entire daisy. This will cause the moisture in the daisy to be absorbed into the silica, leaving the daisy dried out and not brown.





Here are some web sites that have other methods you might find less messy, and fairly easy to follow.
Reply:try pressing it in a book; take a book and open it to a page. line the page so the colors won't 'bleed' onto the book. then put the flower in and close the book. it should take a while, maybe a week? but i'm pretty sure it'll work.
