Answer 1

You can spray paint dry flowers, or dip them in diluted paint, hang upside down to dry and enjoy. Good luck!

Answer 2

It's pretty unlikely you can "fix" the carnations you have. Press them between two layers of plastic wrap under heavy books for a few weeks. The will NOT stay fresh. They will be dry and crumbly and the colors will fade. Later, have them laminated and keep them with your other "treasures" of memorabalia. (Such as a scrap book.)

For the future, visit a craft store. They should carry products that will leach the moisture out of the flower and help to "preserve" it in a dried state. You will need to do this before the flower has completely wilted.

Answer 3

Press them between some paper. Heavy books ontop.

Carnations don't usueally dry well when hung like that. Just the way they are.

Sorry. I would just start over. But if those particular flowers arespecial just press them.

Answer 4

you already dried the flowers.... i doubt they will ever grow again, especially after 2 weeks.

However if the stem is still green and the leaves have not fallen off yet, you can cut the stem at a 45 degree angle and hope that opens up stem to receive more water, and depending on the plant, you might want to put it in Lukewarm water and add a drop of bleach so bacteria don't come and clog up the stem of the plant.
