What to do with dried roses?

[Wildwytch]

My OH got into a habit of sending me roses on valentines day.

(Unfortunately he now seems to be over it....:rolleyes: )

I have a couple of bunches that have now dried, and I don't know what to do with them, it seems a shame to just leave them hanging upside down gathering dust.

Ideas anyone?

pot pourri
frame them in a box frame
make a wired rose heart hanger

How about displaying them in a lovely bell jar. You could then have them as a display piece in the centre of the dinner table to remind him every day !!;)

Maybe make them into paperweights using resin.

There is a professional spray made by Oasis ,its name is Elefanthen-haut which makes the dry flower last longer without crushing its petals. You could use that spray and just keep the roses in a vase to have a nice vinatge-country effect.

I have a load of dried roses(sadly bought by me for me)and not sure what to do with them.I like the idea of putting them in a jar for display.
I have some deep red rose petals which I have displayed in a number of cork topped glass jar type things and put them on my kitchen windowsill.
I like the resin idea too.

I've recycled mom's roses (from dad!) into framed decor and placed it in the living room. It's kind of nice actually.;)

Hey, I know that roses are very special to you, you can do one thing, buy a beautiful transparent pot and place that flowers into that pot. There are so many decorative pots available in the market that can help you out from the problem.

my sister dried her wedding bouquet of roses - I made it in to a little topiary tree for her to stand on her dining table, looked beautiful!

you can spray the dried roses with different colours and can use it in making cards and can give it to your hubby on some special occasion. I have made many cards with the dried petals and the card really looks amazing with that.

These roses are very special for you and i think that you should place them in a lovely bell jar and place it on your working table. It will always remind you of someone special.

My mom took some flowers from her wedding bouqet and put them inside a clear Christmas tree ornament. She wrote the wedding date in the outside of the ornament too. now its a keepsake she can use!
