Flower Arrangement: Making a centerpiece with the dried flowers from a favorite bouquet

     Hi guys! Here’s Craftslove once again at your creative service! You must have got a rose bouquet as a Prom Queen or carried a nice poppy bouquet on your wedding day. But after some time you find it shedding the petals and all, and you feel sad as your treasured bouquet starts decaying. So why not find some ways of keeping it for some more time making something chic out of it.
So follow us. Firstly, if you have a nice, big and sturdy bouquet you can’t just leave it to dry like that as that will make it look just like a bunch of dead and decaying flowers. So that won’t work, you have to find some other way out.
The first trick is to make a nice centerpiece with some of the dried rose blooms stuffing them neatly inside a glass vase, a see through one.
So how do you do that?
•    You dry the full open blossoms with silica gel powder before they can actually start drying on their own. If the later happens then it can lead to the petals turning too brittle for an arrangement. See that the flower buds dry in whole.
•    Next, find a nice crystal or glass vase, a transparent one and add a little creativity. Insert the roses into the vase one after the other or if you have an open vase, then arrange the petals accordingly in symmetry with a glowing candle at the center.
That makes your dried rose centerpiece ready featuring the flowers of one of your most cherished and treasured fresh flower bouquets.
