follow FlyGuyOU's advice and hang them to dry in a dark warmish place and make sure you get proper air flow around the buds to prevent mold. DO NOT place them in anything airtight before the buds are fully dry or they will mold for sure!!
as for the trim (the excess leaves around the buds), you could place those in a paper bag and shake the bag a couple times a day until dry and use them to make hash.
good luck!
