snow Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Can you put silk rose petals in a hurricane shell? I have an insert and tried it once with silk leaves, but wax got in front of them. Would you use chunks to hold them in place? Anyone know. I'd love to try it, but I hate to waste, I had instructions from Donita but didn't print them out and now they are gone, Any suggestions? Thanks, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterbye Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I've tried this with the fake rose petels in a cane with an insert and you couldnt really tell they where rose petels, too much wax in front of them. Now I've done a few where I make a solid plain hurricane shell, then used roses I pressed and dried and put them on the outside with mod podge then overdipped them in wax. Very time consuming, but beautiful results! I'd think that if you used chunks to hold them in place, you may see the chunks with the petals and it wouldnt look as nice. HTH!

candlesprite7 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Donita uses chunks to hold the rose petals against the mold. you put the petals against the outside of the mold and put the chunks behind them hodling the petals in place. Wax will get in front of the petals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
