We've done this for many years to dry both flower tops as well as those which are still attached to the branch. I did find that you need to sometimes touch a bit of hot glue to the tip of the flower when it is attached to a branch as opposed to those that are on a stem, so that the wood and flower don't separate. This works remarkably well for dogwood, which is very difficult to dry, as well as yellow and white roses. Using a low cardboard box to put the flowers in and cover them seems to make the process faster, but don't layer more than two layers of flowers as the weight makes them too flat and less than perfect.

I will be trying it out as I have about given up on drying flowers. The results have always been short of the mark and the apearance is never satisfactory.
