  5. French Marigolds
  6. Sunflowers
  7. Pumpkin flowers

SEPERATE AND BUNDLE

If your flowers are fresh from the garden, you'll want to separate and bundle before you turn them into confetti. Remove any leaves from your stems, and trim - leaving at least a couple of cm to hang your flowers to dry. If you have multiple types of flowers, gather each flower type into small individual bundles. Secure near the base of the flowers with some sort of rope or thread.

HANG AND WAIT

Hang flowers upside down in a cool dry location. Make sure all the buds are facing the ground as the flowers will dry in the same direction they are hung. Leave the flowers for 2-4 weeks to dry thoroughly. Check regularly as they may need to be re-tied. Although we also have ready to purchase EDIBLE FLOWER CONFETTI if you're feeling like want them quicker.

Now just just need to carefully separate them and storage. Enjoy Your DIY Flower Confetti!
