Christie -
Thank you so much for sharing. We did this years ago with beautiful results. I had forgotten the proportions - this time I will save them!
(Off topic PS here - I see on your member page you live in Missouri - we used to have a farm between Salem & Viburnum in Dent county)

Hello! I'm interested in drying some vines with leaves on them, the link isn't working for me.

Any tips on preserving vines? Thank you!
Gigi

I just did a google search for preserving with glycerin and found lots of info. It takes 1 part glycerin to 2 parts water and it takes several weeks for the plant material to absorb it. Its something I've always wanted to try. Wonder where you get glycerine?

I bought glycerine at the drug store. I haven't opened the bottle yet so maybe I will give this a try.

Thanks,

Kristi
