-You may have dozens of silica gel packets in your home right now. Shoes, electronics, power tools, and vitamins are all packaged with silica gel. The Holidays is a great time to start collecting them as many of the gifts opened will have packaging that contains at least one packet.-Have important papers or old photos you'd like to protect? Toss a silica gel packet into a ziploc bag filled with your special papers and momentos and store them away.
-Keep your silver jewelry tarnish-free
Silver jewelry tarnishing? You can reduce tarnishing on silver jewelry by adding silica gel to each drawer or compartment of a jewelry box.
-Keep your seeds mold and moisture free till you're ready to plant them. Add a packet of silica gel to each bag or jar of seeds.
-Want to keep moisture out of Fido's food?
Transfer dry dog food from the original bag into a lidded trash can or other storage bin. Tape one or two silica gel packets to the inside of the lid. **Surgical or first aid tape works great! You only need to tape the ends of each packet - leaving the middle section open.
-Using silica gel to dry flowers is simple and preserves the color and beauty of the flowers by removing the moisture from the flowers. Flowers dried with silica gel can be used for holiday wreaths and other decorations.
*Cut several flowers for drying. Make sure that the flowers are free of dew, rain and insects. When cutting the flowers, leave only a 1-inch stem.
*Pour a 1 to 2-inch layer of silica gel crystals into a shallow container or tray.
*Arrange the flower over the layer of silica gel. Gently cover the flowers completely with more silica gel.
*Seal the container and leave it for three to four days.
*Open the container and remove the flowers very carefully. Brush off any remaining crystals with a paintbrush.
*Use the flowers for wreaths, decorations and arrangements
