 SG³ This come from a Heloise column in the newspaper today.  She said  In a
 SG³ cardboard box, mix equal amounts of borax, white cornmeal adding 3
 SG³ tablespoons salt for each quart you mix up.
 SG³
 SG³ Put the flowers in, put the lid on the box and leave it there for about
 SG³ 14 days.  Make sure the flowers are covered well using a one inch layer
 SG³ on the bottom and the top.  Store it in a dry place.
 SG³
 SG³ When you think the flowers are dry, feel the petals to see if they are.
 SG³ Once dry, remove them and brush with a makeup brush making sure to
 SG³ remove all the mixture.  It can then be used again.
  I've heard of this before.  One of these days I'll have to go looking
for the ingredients.
 SG³ My big question:  what do you do with these once you have them dried.  I
 SG³ have some from last year I never found a use for.
  I make awesome cards with them. I decorate straw hats with them.  You
can do all kinds of neat thing with them.
You can make potpourri with them too.
