Memories

Today is our two weeks anniversery! *smiles*

over the last weekend, i've tried something new. The roses, which were used as decor at our ROM event, i turned them into potpourri.

It sounds simple, in fact i have done it before, many times!

- hang the flowers up-side-down and air dry, the flowers will turn dark brown or even black after sometime;

- keep them in fridge to maintain the colour, it works! but the petals become

very "crispy"!

This time, i tried something new, i got the instructions from a book.

- prepare fresh flowers and orange skin;

- remove petals and the orange skin let it air dry for 3-5 days;

- put them into oven for 3-5 mins using low heat;

- smash the orange skin as they will act as preservatives.

Lastly, put the petals and orange skin into an organza bag and put a few drops of essential oil!

Tada! here comes the potpourri! i've made them into 3 organza packs and the rest i kept them in an air tight container..hmm the colour seems nice ya :)
