How to Dry Rose Petals

Rose petals can be dried to use in a variety of projects.  Take a rose then separate the petals.  Place the petals in between sheets of white copy paper.  Place a heavy book on top of the papers. Check the petals after one week to ensure they are flat & dry.  Place the dry petals in an envelope & store in a location away from natural light.  The petals can be used as confetti, placed on greeting cards, or arranged in a bowl.
