Can dried out flowers be pressed?

I have a white rose and a lilly that I have dried out since August 21… I am just wondering if I could press them, would they still come out the way they’re suppsed to?

Answer #1

They would be too brittle to be pressed at this point. Are they hard? I can’t think of how you might hydrate them to become soft again. If they’re very important to you, keep them whole and in a vase, and use a bit of hair spray on them every now and then to stop them from falling apart.

If they’re not that important, experiment by putting them in a humid place for a while to see if they soften up, If they do, then you can press them without them breaking.
