How to dry a laurel wreath: what you need

Let's start by emphasizing that to dry a laurel wreath, you don't need much material, just common hairspray.

For the rest, arm yourself with a mask (if the hairspray bothers you), sheets of paper to place under the laurel wreath, and a pair of gloves.

Drying the laurel wreath: a step-by-step guide

Once you have gathered everything you need, start by spraying hairspray on the wreath along its entire circumference, making sure to focus on each of the laurel leaves that compose it.

Over time, you will notice that the leaves will turn a golden-yellow color instead of green. The color might disappoint you compared to the lush green of your graduation day, but at least they will remain attached to the wreath. Furthermore, the laurel wreath will take on a more weathered look, which will add further charm to the object.

To maximize the benefits of this result, we recommend repeating the process at least a couple of times. By doing so, you will be able to firmly secure the leaves to the structure and make the wreath more durable.

After that, to dry the leaves, you will need to hang the wreath on a wall: once the process is complete, the laurel wreath can be stored in a box and admired whenever you wish!
