This method works with just about any type of flower, but you may find more success with sturdy, robust flowers, such as roses, carnations, zinnias, dahlias, and marigolds. Use garden clippers or scissors to cut the stems off of the flowers, as close to the blooms as possible. Choose a container that's big enough to fit your flowers, then fill the bottom 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) with silica gel. You can find silica gel online and in the floral department of an arts and crafts store. Make sure that you won't be using this container for food again. If you can't find silica gel, you can use clean cat litter, or a mixture of 1 part borax and 1 part cornmeal. Keep in mind that these are not recommended for delicate flowers. Make sure that the stems are facing down and the blooms are facing up. Leave at least 34 inch (1.9cm) of space between each flower and the sides of the container. Tap the container's side to help settle the silica gel, then add more silica gel if the flowers start to peek through. How much more silica gel you use depends on how large the flowers are. Tall flowers, such as roses, will require much more silica gel than flat flowers, such as daisies. Make sure that the flowers are completely covered by the gel. Pour the gel slowly so you don't crush the petals. The exact heating time will depend on the type of flower you are drying. Small or delicate flowers will need less time, while large or sturdy flowers will need more time. Start with 1 minute, then check on the flower. Do not over-cook it. Listed below are the recommended heating times for popular flowers: Carnation: 1 minute Rose: 1 1/2 to 2 minutes Marigold, pansy, poppy: 2 1/2 to 3 minutes Chrysanthemum: 3 minutes Zinnia: 4 to 5 minutes Dahlia: 5 to 7 minutes Do this by sifting the silica gel aside with a toothpick and peeking at the petals. If the petals don't look or feel dry and papery, cover them back up, and heat the flowers for another minute. Flower petals will turn darker and more vibrant as they dry. They may look wrinkly. Use a pot holder to remove the container from the microwave. Cover it tightly with a lid, and wait several hours for the flower to finish drying. How long this takes depends on the size and type of flowers. Unlike microwaving, you don't have to worry about over-drying the flower. Listed below are the recommended drying times for popular flower types: Carnation, chrysanthemum, rose, marigold, and zinnia: 10 hours Poppy and tulip: 24 hours Dahlia and pansy: 36 hours Tip the silica gel out to expose the flowers, then lift them out with your fingers. Do not grab the flowers by the petals. Instead, slide your middle and index fingers under the bloom, like a spatula, then lift the flower out of the silica gel. If there is any silica gel stuck to the petals, you can brush it off with a soft-bristled paintbrush or makeup brush. Look for soft, fluffy brushes made from camel hair; they are less likely to ruin your flowers. A matte finish will look the most natural, but you can use a glossy or satin finish instead if you prefer. This will protect the flowers and help them last longer. If you won't use the flowers right away, store them in a box filled with shredded paper. This will help keep them dry and maintain their shape. You can find clear, acrylic spray sealers in the spray paint section of art and craft stores.

One-sentence summary -- Cut the blooms off of your flowers. Pour some silica gel into the bottom of a microwave-safe container. Set the flowers on top of the gel. Cover the flowers with more silica gel. Microwave the flowers, uncovered, using a full-heat setting. Check to see whether or not the flowers are dry. Remove the container, cover it loosely, and let it sit overnight. Use your fingers to scoop the flowers out the gel. Dust off excess silica gel with a soft brush, if needed. Seal the flowers with a clear, acrylic spray sealer, if desired.

When the two friends you are setting up meet for the first time, make them feel comfortable. Talking about how they'd make a great couple when they've only just met could make them both uncomfortable. Additionally, making a quick introduction and then walking away might leave them both feeling awkward with nothing to say to one another. Likewise, avoid putting them in a situation in which they are the only two single people at a gathering. When first introducing them, let them get to know each other a bit before pushing them together as a couple. When one friend approaches while you're talking to the other friend, introduce them by name. Then try saying something like, "You know, Mia enjoys gardening and has a green thumb just like you Joe." Now your two newly introduced friends can strike up a conversation about their shared interest in gardening. A great way to get your two friends to spend some time around each other is to invite them to a casual gathering. With you there, you can help focus the conversation on a topic you know is of interest to both of them. Plus, you can keep the conversation going in moments of awkward silence so that neither of them feels overly uncomfortable. Invite your two friends out for appetizers or drinks. Organize a weekend cookout or host a small party at your place and invite both friends. Plan a mutually liked activity, such as hiking or mini golf, and invite both of your friends to join you. If you are in a relationship, suggest a double date with you and your partner accompanied by the two friends you wish to set up. No matter how much you think your two friends would make a great match, if one or both of them are not interested in going on a date, then don't push it. They might not hit it off immediately, but perhaps they will down the road. Pushing things too much in the beginning could sabotage any possibility of them making a connection in the future. Likewise, pushing your two friends into a dating situation they just aren't interested in might damage their friendship with you.

Once you get the color and texture you like, scoop the mixture into a small container. Use a mini spatula, butter knife, or spoon to help you. You can find small containers in the paint section of an art store. They are meant for storing excess paint, but they make great lip gloss containers. You can also use empty lip gloss containers, clean contact lens cases, and pill boxes as well. If you are in a rush, leave it in the fridge for a few hours until it hardens. You can apply it using your finger or a q-tip.
