I only have the long plastic, flower formers. They are making my Daisies a weird shape. I tried an egg carton and the flower fell in to much. Anyting else that would work?
Thanks,

Try an egg carton again but put some cotton in the bottom to make it a little shallower. If you try this and it works, let me know because I am going to try it myself.
The center roll from a paper towel roll, cut in half.
Since it is cardboard, you can fan it out a liittle more so the daisies have some shape, but don't curl as much as the former causes.
I saved one of the pieces of the large egg cartons that hold I think 5 dozen eggs. I turned them over and dried my daisies upside down on those. Worked perfectly!
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I added the cotton ball to the egg carton and it worked. We seldom eat eggs so we only have the one carton. I'm going to try the paper towel roll. I need to dry quite a few Daisies.

Please don't use egg cartons, the health departments would scream long and loud, there is just too much chance of salmonella
poisoning from egg cartons.

Is there a problem even if they are thoroughly washed and rinsed?

This is what I've been doing for years. A lady who owned a cake supply shop told not waste money on the plastic flower troughs when the paper towel core worked great.

You may use them if you wrap them well... take press n seal and just wrap the heck out of them .. getting down in the crevices are tricky but.. it will work.. Also... egg crate foam .. works also
I used the only empty paper towel roll we had, so I used the roll as my template and cut up an old poster board. It worked great.
