I received some beautiful roses which I enjoyed for almost 2 weeks. I started to think of a way to make them last forever, so when they started to perish I hung them upside down to dry. They turned a beautiful hue of soft pastel pink with a hint of grey in the blooms. Within a couple of weeks, they were dry enough and I got out the glue gun, found a lovely grapevine wreath snipped off the blooms and made a wreath for the wall. I accented the roses with a delicate ribbon and glued bits of sea lavender throughout.
In no time at all, I created a sweet wreath with dried roses that will last forever.
Try this project yourself with roses you may have received or with the roses in your garden this summer.

Step 3: Optional glue sea lavender onto the grapevine wreath, placing between the roses. Next glue on the ribbon for the finishing touch to the wreath.
