ROSARY BEAD FLOWERS FUNERAL RECIPES

Steps:

• Gather and prepare two gallons of rose petals.
• Process the petals in a food processor to form a dough. Add in the rose oil and rose perfume. Pulse to incorporate the scents into the dough. This should yield about 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 cups of dough.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick. Using a sewing thimble, cut out circles of dough.
• Form one circle of dough at a time into evenly sized and shaped balls.
• Thread each ball onto a florists wire or hat pin. When all the dough is used up (re-roll as need, and cut out more circles as needed), set them aside in a clean dry place for about a week or two in order for them to completely dry.
• The florist wire or hat pins will form a hole in each bead. The beads will shrink in size as they dry (about by 1/3 in size).
• When beads are completely dry. Remove them from the florist wire or hat pins. Place them into a very shallow dish or pan. Pour the polishing rose oil into the dish/pan until it is halfway covering the beads. Roll the beads around in the oil occasionally. Soaking and rolling them for at least two hours.
• Wipe each bead with a clean smooth cloth to polish them.
• String the beads onto dental floss with 3 of the crystal, ceramic or steel beads/rings between each of your rose beads.
• *** You can make curtains or jewelry with the beads. *** If you have a favorite rosary, use it as your pattern, adding what you see fit (like beads, rings, cross)
