Sylvie Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi. I would like to put some dried flowers in a clear vase, and use gel to simulate water and hold the stems in place. I know there is acrylic for this purpose, but it's not removable, and I'd like customers to be able to reuse the container after the flowers fade. Is there any reason this would not be do-able? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo848 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 my concern would be that the dried flowers would wick up the mineral oil from the gel and get all goopy. i know that you can do it with artificial flowers that have plastic stems.cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvie Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thank you for pointing that out-that's something I hadn't thought of. I wonder if coating the bottom part of the stems with a high mp paraffin would help... Guess I'll do some experimenting. Thanks a bunch for your help!
