Tutorial Gone Horribly Wrong

I was going to show you guys how to dry your Valentine's roses. But, my attempt was a total fail. So, I can show you how not to do it, I guess...

I had these Milano Roses leftover from some arrangements.

I decided to try to dry them in Borax, following some directions on the internets. It sounded simple enough.

Cover rose heads completely in Borax for 2 weeks.


I unearthed them today & this is what I found!

This dreadful looking one was the best of the whole lot. The only one that retained any good color.

Hmmmm... Not sure if I will try this one again.
