Starr Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I bought a bag of white silk rose petals, I want to scent them to put them in an antique black glass bowl. I'm not really sure exactly how to approach this. Do I dilute my FO? If so with what? Will it leave oil like stains on the petals? Help Please?!

Bernadette Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I do the soap dipped petals, but have never just fragranced them. I can tell you that with white petals, make sure the fragrance you use is as clear and light as possible, or you will definately have staining on the white. Ask me how I know...:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help Please?!How about using cyclomethicone with a clear FO and spraying it on. Maybe try a few first to see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauramw71 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Or maybe mix the FO with DPG? I do that for my potpourri.. as far as staining, it's quite possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hmm. DPG is a real possibility, I keep that around for incense. What about using one of the dry-oil body spray bases? Would that maybe prevent some of the staining potential? OR... ooh, I didn't think of this. What about putting something like an air freshener blank in the bottom of the bowl then putting the petals on top? Would that work better maybe? I've never used them so I really have no idea how potent they might be or oily/problematic to this project. Any thoughts on that as an alternate idea?

PAgirl89 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You could wax dip or soap dip the rose petals. Add the scent to the wax or soap and then dip the rose petals into it. Let dry and package in clear boxes or cello bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
