What can I do with a flower?
Question:My grandmother died about a year ago and I got a flower from her funeral and I was going to press it but I forgot to, my mom has a few pressed but I want to do SOMETHING with this one, its too frail to press it, it is currently on my dresser and I never touch it for fear of it turning to dust, I need an inexpensive place/thing to put it in that I can look at and see it.

Go to a local craft store. Ask them for a product called procelain flower. It's a grainular substance that you use to preserve flowers. You place the flower in a plastic container, pour the product on the flower, place the lid on the container and leave for 48 hours. After the 48 hrs, the flower takes on a porcelain-like structure. It makes for some beautiful flowers. I've use it for years.
Make a shadow box dedicated to your grandmother. Put pictures of her in it and the rose, you'll remember it for ever and with it being in the shadow box it will not get ruined.
A little glass jar.
Go to a craft or hobby store, such as JoAnn or Hobby Lobby and see about getting a glass display container or vase. I'd get some satin or even a satin pillow and put the flower on the satin inside of the case. That way, it's safe from dust and further damage.
If you just leave it like that, wouldn't it just wither off and die and stuff?
You could glaze it, you know how they have flowers with the glass glazing it? That would be pretty and the flower would be intact. I am not sure it would be inexpensive though...
take a picture of it, once in your computer, you can use it as your avatar.
Nursher it, keep it with care in rememberance of your grandma. Treat it like you would treat her; with love and care. Take a simple vase, stuff it with rich sweet soil, then grow it in the vase and where to put it depends what flower it is. You could probably find many more interesting things to do with it if you search google. Just remember, it was the last thing in rememberance of your grandma so care for it like you would with her. God Bless!
Pyramids preserve anything placed under their apex, so get a glass pyramid you can put it in to preserve it. I can't explain why pyramids do this, but they do!
Get a small picture frame and put a nice colored backing in it,then gently move the flower so it will be on the frame bottom.Now put the glass on your memory.You could have a photo in there or a date for you to remember.Condolences...
