A really easy way to make your paper flowers last longer is to cover them in a layer of UV art spray. It creates a protective barrier on your flower, makes it a little bit harder so it’s less likely to get damaged, and helps stop fading from sunlight. And it only takes a couple of minutes to do!
I really like this UV spray by but I know it can be tricky to get hold of sometimes. You want to look for a matte finish UV spray that’s designed for artwork. Something for setting pastels usually works great.
Make sure to do this in a well ventilated area, outside is best if you can. I always wash my hands immediately after too.
