Dried Roses as Decoration
Next time you recieve roses (from your parents, significant other…whatever) a great idea is to dry them upside down and use them as decoration. Shandi and I have them hung up in a few places around the house, and we also use them as end table decorations. Here’s an easy way to do it: Tear off all extra leaves (all the ones that are on the stems and about half of the ones that are mixed in with the buds) and secure the stems with a rubber band. Hang upside down on a nail, using the rubber band as a hanging device. Once they are dry, you can leave them where you hung them originally or move them wherever you want. Remember to be careful! Obviously, they’re very fragile.
