Materials
Fresh hydrangea flowers just cut from the shrub in late summer
Bucket or vase
Instructions
Cut several hydrangea blooms with long stems directly from the shrub.
Remove most of the leaves.
Set the stems in a bucket or vase with 3-4 inches of water.
Allow the bucket or vase to set until all water has evaporated. At that point, the blooms should be dried.
Notes
You need to cut the blooms late in the summer or early fall when they are already starting to feel slightly dry or papery.
