Rose Petal Drying

Rose petals can be dried to use for art projects.  Separate petals from a rose.  Arrange the petals on a sheet of white paper.  Place several more sheets of paper on top of the petals.  Place a heavy book on top.  Let the petals dry for a couple of weeks.  Place the dried petals in a plastic bag.  Store the petals in a box away from direct sunlight.  

Summer Tulips

I love to capture photos of blooming flowers during the summer.  This tulip had beautiful light dancing on it.  It was a perfect opportunity to take a photo of both the flower & the light.

Sand Art

Create a fun piece of art with sand.  Take a cardstock of any color.  Create any pattern using glue on the cardstock.  Cover the pattern with sand.  Shake off the excess sand.  Let the art dry before hanging on a wall or placing in a frame.   If you travel to the beach, pick up some sand to create a unique art!
