Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 I will try it if I can find my real rose petals LOL --I dried some out for different reasons. I also want to try to make the rose beads that they make out of real petals--have any of you done them. They are suppose to hold their scent for over 100 years.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Donna thanks--- Well that is a relief--the ones I dried came from roses bushes around my house LOL. So I guess I am safe huh? Makes sense about the pesticides though. Glitz Re: Mother's Day Gifts > I have heard of people making the real rose petals after they are dried. You need to know where your roses came from, do they have pesticides on them. I have always been told to stay away from ones at the floral shop as you don't know what they have on them.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Once again my fingers did the walking before my eyes did the reading...geez... Can anyone please resend me privately so it doesn't clog up the site what the rose petals dipped in M & P were used for??? I am making baskets for Mother's Day and would really appreciate that info again...and someday I WILL learn to SLOW DOWN on that delete button ) Thanks, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Vicki - the m & p rose petals are used as disposable soaps. There is just enough soap on each dipped petal to wash hands once or twice and then be disposed of. Carol A2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 I tried the rose petals over the weekend. Scented them with Rose Absolute so they smelled wonderful. Putting them in a pretty little dish in the ladies room at work. Tried one myself and couldn't stop smelling my hands. This is so easy. I'm going to my first craft show this weekend, and I'm going to put a big basket of them in the bathroom there, with my business card and a note on my stationary that says the following: " One Use Hand Soaps! Bring the " empty " rose petal to booth #__ and receive a free gift! " Hoping that will get people to come see me! Re: Mother's Day Gifts Thanks Carol! I can't wait to try this. Maybe put in a pretty basket with some rose scented lotion. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Glitz, darling, would you happen to have the instructions for making the rose beads? I have asked for them here a couple of times, but nobody every replied. I live in a predominantly Catholic area and would love to be able to make rosaries. Thanks, doll!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 - what a great idea to put them in the ladies room, however, at a craft show you can't really depend on people to not " walk off with all them in their pockets " if you know what I mean. If they all do disappear in a short time, you will know they were well received as I am sure they will be. I hope you get lots of publicity. Best of luck.
