Homemade Rose Petal Craft #1: Rose Petal Frame
For this simple Valentine's Craft all you need is some paper, fresh rose petals, and a glass frameless frame.
Go ahead and take the frame apart. Lay the back on your table. Lay a sheet of paper in any color or even a matt on the back of the frame. Pull off rose petals and outline the matte.
Create rows of individual petals until the matte is as thick as you want.
Lay the piece of glass back on top and clip into place. Be sure to add a photo as well. The rose petals will dry flat in the frame and darken a little! This is a great way to save rose petals from a special bouquet.
Homemade Rose Petal Craft #2: Rose Petal Candles
Follow simple direction for making wax candles. While the wax is liquid and poured into the mold, start dropping in fresh rose petals. The wax will coat them and hold their shape.
Try using a clear wax or white wax so the rose petals can be seen.
To create a cool look tries pouring about 1 inch of wax in the bottom of the mold. Layer on the petals. Now, add another ½ inch of wax. Layer on more rose petals. Continue this look up the whole candle.
You can create so many different looks this way.

These make great gifts when you package them in threes and give to friends.
