How to Stiffen Fake Flowers
- 1). Hold the fake flower upside down by the stem.
- 2). Spray the stiffening spray, extra-hold hairspray or the spray starch over the underside of the silk petals to saturate them evenly.
- 3). Arrange the petals while they are still wet.
- 4). Turn the blow-dryer to low and direct warm air onto the fake flower to dry the fabric gently.
- 5). Store the stiffened fake flowers in a vase until you are ready to use them in your floral project.
