How to maintain the pressed flowers color better?

 

1.Choosing the appropriate flower material: This is the first step in maintaining the color of the pressed flowers. Choose fresh flowers with bright colors, full petals, and complete structure.

2.Maintain a dry environment: The color retention and hair development of embossed flowers must be carried out in a dry environment. If the environmental humidity is too high, the flowers are prone to moisture and discoloration, which affects the coloring effect. Therefore, ensure that the embossing process and the environment after embossing are both dry.

3.Using desiccants: Consider using desiccants to accelerate the drying process and maintain color. Put the flower material and desiccant together in a sealed container, ensuring that the flower material is completely covered by the desiccant. This can effectively absorb the moisture in the flower material, allowing the flower to dry more quickly while also helping to maintain its color.

4.Temperature control: During the drying process, temperature control is also crucial. Generally speaking, lower temperatures help maintain the color of flowers. Therefore, avoid drying in direct sunlight or high temperature environments.

5.Use anti fading agent: Before pressing, spray the anti fading agent on the flowers. This product can be purchased at craft stores or online, and can be used according to the instructions. Anti fading agents help maintain the color of flowers during the drying process and prevent pigment loss.

6.Plastic sealing preservation: After drying, it is possible to consider using a plastic sealing machine to seal the embossed artwork. This can not only protect the flowers from damage from the external environment, but also keep the color for a longer time. If not sealed, the color of the flowers may turn yellow or pale over time.

In summary, by selecting appropriate flower materials, maintaining a dry environment, using desiccants and anti fading agents, and controlling temperature, the color of pressed flowers can be maximally maintained after drying. Meanwhile, plastic sealing preservation is also an effective method to extend the viewing period of embossed works.
