Dried flowers

[Nicos]

I've just cut back some of our ivy and collected some of the flowers.
I'm quite keen to dry the flowers with the intention of spraying them bronze for Xmas .
I'm not sure how to dry them. Do they need to be hung upside down like most 'floppy'flowers - or is it OK just to leave them somewhere warm on say newspaper, and just keep turning them??

Advice please!!

I would hang them upside down somewhere airy.I've never tried drying ivy before.

I usually pick it fresh for Christmas - the berries go a lovely purple/black - dead dramatic. Bit late though if you've already cut it back.

Ne'mind eh? On reading properly I find you saved the flowers anyway - I use the berries.
