Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 These are made w/ silk rose petals <or any silk petal can be used i.e diff. holidays, diff. FO's> so long as it is big enough and has a nice shape.....these are really very simple but be warned..they are time consumming & VERY addictive... smile! --also when picking the flowers--beware of some super cheap ones...as they are more paper then silk & have a tendency to bleed , badly...anyway ..just melt your M & P...double boiler is easiest.... add FO.. dip and let dry...when dipping...one of the good dippin tools is -- darg! cant think of its name...for those of you who sew & have a serger---its that glorified , long , bent tweezer thingy.... <one can also buy this thing at Target in the cosmetic section> dont use reg. tweezers as these are to short & will cramp your hand something awful...the petals can then be laid out on a wire rack, a piece of screen <large holes> or on a bed of tooth picks <my favorite.> some folks also keep a small fan near by and run them by that before laying them down (these dry super fast) just dont point fan towards your pot...there is also several poems floating around, if anyone would like a copy of a couple just holler...these make wonderful gifts for everyday, and are really great to use in weddings.... Have fun... Charlie! Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man " how " to fish, and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day.
