To keep a flower crown fresh temporarily, you can store it in the refrigerator using a simple method involving damp paper towels and a pie tin.
Keeping a fresh flower crown vibrant involves maintaining moisture and cool temperatures. Based on preservation techniques, a practical way to extend its freshness for a few days is by using your refrigerator.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Prepare the Tin: Get a clean pie tin or a similar shallow container.
- Add Moisture Layer: Cover the bottom of the pie tin with one layer of damp paper towels. Ensure they are moist but not dripping wet.
- Place the Crown: Carefully lay your flower wreath (or wreaths) directly on top of the damp paper towels in the tin.
- Add Top Moisture Layer: Place another layer of damp paper towels over the top of the flower crown. This helps create a humid environment around the flowers.
- Refrigerate: Store the covered tin in the fridge.
Using this method, you can typically keep your flower crown looking its best for up to three days. Remember that the longevity can vary depending on the types of flowers used in the crown.
