Any craft flower ideas with fresh,dried, pressed or paper mostly rosesor iris?

irises dont dry well, roses you can hang upside down and dry, and make arrangements with them or use them on wreathes, if you have lots of loose petals you can put them in clear jars and turn them into potpourri with rose oil. you can put dry rose petals into paper pulp if you make your own paper, you can press pansies very well and make stationery or greeting cards with them, also seperating the petals of batchleors buttons make good petals for pressing and putting into paper pulp, you could mix them into wax and make candles, you could mix them into soap and mold bars of glycerine soap with your rose petals in them. you can also cook your rose petals, in a cast iron pan and roll the mush into beads and dry them, they smell rosey for years.

Pressed flowers can be laminated for bookmarks, also you can use dried flowers on wreaths or in corsages. it really depends on what you are willing to do with the flowers

rose petal vase:

1 dozen roses

1 vase

bowl of water

bowl of liquid wax

empty butter containers



peel off the rose petals. soak them in water for about a week. After that hold each rose petal on the vase, and with a brush lightly dab on wax. after you completed that dip the vase in cold water.then, if the water is pink, then put that in small empty butter containers. Then you have a deodorizer!
