Things that can be made from a dried bouquet

When a luxurious bouquet withers, it is always sad. But in skillful hands, flowers can find new life. Instead of throwing away the bouquet, you can make many beautiful and useful things out of it.

Pink water

Rose water is one of the beauty secrets of oriental women. Spraying it on your face, body and hair, you can preserve youth for a long time. Preparing rose water is quite simple. To do this, you need to take the petals of a withered pink bouquet and do the following:

1. At the bottom of a large saucepan, you need to put a wooden or metal stand under the hot, and on top of it an empty ceramic or glass bowl.
2. Scatter the petals around the bowl and cover them with water so that they are slightly covered with liquid.
3. When the water comes to a boil, adjust the power of the hotplate to the minimum and cover the pot with the upside-down lid in which you want to place the ice bag.
4. Condensation will begin to form on the lid. It will drain directly into the bowl - this is the rose water.
5. Change the ice bag periodically and add water to the pot.

Rose water can only be made from self-grown roses. A bouquet from a flower shop will not work as it can be treated with chemicals to make the bouquet last longer.

Relaxing bath

If the roses already look unpresentable, but are still completely dry, their petals can be used for a relaxing bath. Pour aromatic lush foam into hot water. Sprinkle flower petals on top of the fluffy soap "clouds". To complete the picture, light an aroma lamp with rose oil or add a couple of drops of essential oil to water. To add a touch of romance to the bath ritual, turn on pleasant relaxing music.

Hair rinse

Flower infusions are very beneficial for hair. They make the curls soft, crumbly, voluminous, give them a pleasant smell, and also strengthen the hair roots. Therefore, wilted roses can be used to make a rinse.:

1. The petals must be poured onto the bottom of the pan. Medicinal herbs such as chamomile, calendula or oak bark can be added to them if desired.
2. The container must be covered with a lid and wrapped in a terry towel or blanket. In this form, the infusion should cool completely.
3. The cooled liquid must be filtered, and before use, it must be heated to a comfortable temperature.
4. Before rinsing your hair, you can add a drop of pink ether to the flower infusion.

Fragrant sachet

When the flowers lose their "presentation", carefully remove the petals from them and lay them in one layer on the table or windowsill, after covering it with paper or a dry towel. The room should be well lit and well ventilated. Otherwise, the petals will not dry out, but will simply rot. When the raw materials for the sachet are ready, you need to smell it. If the scent does not seem to be bright enough for you, you can add some dried herbs, floral essential oils or spices. The resulting mixture can be poured into a beautiful bowl or bowl and placed in the living room. Gradually, the room will be filled with an enchanting floral and spicy scent. Dried petals can be packed into small bags that can then be placed in a closet or car interior.

Beautiful panel

If the bouquet was presented to you in honor of some important event, you can preserve the memory of it for a long time by creating a beautiful decorative panel. To do it, you will need:

• picture frame;
• dried flowers;
• glue;
• elements for decoration.

The production technology of the panel is elementary:

1. Take out and frame glass.
2. Paint the cardboard base in your favorite color or decorate with colored paper.
3. Use glue to fix the dried flowers on the cardboard. You can lay them out in the shape of a bouquet or in a chaotic manner and add decorative elements.

Handmade candles

If you want to decorate your home with an unusual little thing or make an original gift to someone, you can use the flowers from the bouquet to make decorative candles. To do this, you will need to dry the flowers and leaves. To decorate a thick candle with flowers, you need to do the following:

1. Imagine and think over the arrangement of flowers on the surface of the candle.
2. Take the first floral element and attach it to the candle.
3. Heat a tablespoon over a flame and smooth down the dried flower. The wax underneath the element will melt so that it adheres securely.
4. One new candle must be melted in a water bath.
5. The decorated product must be covered with a thin layer of liquid paraffin to fix the result.

Crafts with children

Flowers are a great material for children's creativity. They can be dried in their original form or between the pages of books. Such decorative materials can be used to make postcards that a child can present to his friends and relatives for the holidays.

Beautiful composition

The bouquet itself can also be a beautiful decorative composition. You just need to wait until it dries naturally. To prevent the petals from crumbling, they will need to be fixed with hairspray and decorated with decorative ribbons.
