ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of making an artificial flower resembling a dried flower, in which the artificial flower has a plurality of petals made from a fabric, each petal having an upper end with a tip, in which the tips of the petals are heated to a temperature sufficient to melt the fabric in the region of the tips by a heating assembly including a heating coil and a blower, and the petals in areas thereof other than the tips, are protected from the heat to prevent melting thereof, by placing the artificial flower in a recess of a heat sink body such that only the tips thereof protrude from the heat sink body, and as a result, a shrivelled, dried-up appearance is imparted to the artificial flower.
