Drying flowers

[joanne713]

I have some flowers that are starting to die, I really want to keep at least one of them, does anyone know how to dry them out?

you can put them in a book and either put weights on the book either side, or wrap an elastic band or string round it to keep it tightly shut - it does work as I tried it a few years ago. I have also heard of putting them in the microwave, or hanging them upside down in a warm place, I havnt tried either of the latter.
