✔ Preserving Boxwood Branches
I beloved the expect of dried boxwood. I bought this i awhile agone in addition to direct maintain ever wanted unopen to other i or ii in addition to of course of pedagogy a wreath. But if y'all direct maintain ever bought existent dried boxwood y'all know they are non cheap. My mom has a large hedge of boxwoods that business her belongings in addition to hence I decided to figure out how to dry out them correctly in addition to position them to proficient use!
You volition need:
Boxwood branches the to a greater extent than the better
Glycerin, I purchased mine at Walmart for $3.50
Green nutrient coloring, I used the gel dye
Hot Water
And a bucket for them to soak in
After y'all direct maintain pruned your boxwood branches accept a hammer in addition to hitting the destination of the branch. This helps the branches to actually soak upwards the dye in addition to glycerin.
Next y'all are going to mix 1 role glycerin amongst ii parts HOT water.
(make certain your H2O is hot, this volition assist the glycerin in addition to H2O mix together)
My bottle of glycerin was half-dozen oz in addition to hence I added 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) of hot H2O in addition to a teaspoon of nutrient coloring. Mix good until the glycerin in addition to H2O mix together. Let your solution cool earlier adding it to your boxwood branches.
After it is all mixed I added it to my bucket amount of boxwood.
Let your boxwoods soak for 1 to ii weeks, until the solution is gone.
After the solution is gone, I permit mine sit down for a few to a greater extent than weeks to dry out out earlier I brand them into anything!
This electrical flow batch has nearly unopen to other calendar week left until I tin kickoff making a wreath. All of this waiting is killing me, merely it is worth it inwards the end. Stay tuned for the in conclusion product!
