Make Keepsakes out of Dried Roses

I had some bouquets of dried roses that were taking up too much room, but I couldn't throw away for sentimental reasons. So I decided to make little ornaments with the roses to have something nice to keep.

Description

I had some bouquets of dried roses that were taking up too much room, but I couldn't throw away for sentimental reasons. So I decided to make little ornaments with the roses to have something nice to keep.

Instructions

  1. Small 10060

    Pull off the outer petals of the rose blossoms. The best roses to use are the ones that are the fully open. These roses are miniatures so I made the ornaments small. Cut out a small cardboard circle the size of the ornament you want.

  2. Small 10061

    Put a dab of glue on the back of the petals.

  3. Small 10062

    Start gluing petals in a circle around the edge of the circle. Wait for the row to dry.

  4. Small 10063

    Glue another row of petals in a circle in the center of the decoration.

  5. Small 10064

    I like to glue something interesting in the center. Here I glued tiny matching jewels in the centers. Then glue ribbon to the back of the decoration.
