Rose 4 BFF

Make a perfect gift for any BFF.

Do you have a work associates, church, good friends or a favor you need to repay? This is the perfect gift for any of these situations.

To make this item... the very first item is a rose or flower that looks real (really gives you that thought the flower is living and breathing). If it is not looking truly living real, then this gift is not for you.








Years ago, I found a good looking flower at a floral supply house, see the pic, it is not very enduring...it is a funky color. At the time it was a very popular color. So you ask who cares? Here is my story, listen carefully and hopefully you will learn from it........

I worked in a large office and I always pass by a cube held by a manager, on her desk was a beautiful rose in a cut glass crystal vase. I thought she had a standing order with a florist, because this rose always looked fabulous. Water in the vase and never a faded bloom. Sometimes I would stop in the office to check out the flower, especially when the manager had gone on vacation. She let me sit in for her. The darn thing was not real. Thank you Brenda for having this rose in your office.

The moral to this story is if you want to be the envy of your office or have given the best gift to your BFF, get the best flower. Always pick a color that will not go out of season. Brenda's rose was soft pink, I think it was her signature color.

Having looked at all the craft store around here, I found a large section of roses at Hobby Lobby, so I went with soft pink. You can go wrong with that color.

If you don't find the right type of flower than is a waste of time. Jo Ann's had some flowers, but they didn't have roses. It is up to you.

Next installment is the vase, and filler. Flower first than the rest, oh, by the way, you will need to buy 3 flowers, since the resin you will be using for fake water is mixed as a one time process, and it will make 2 or 3 vases of fake water. Go with the 3 or just make one and throw out the rest of the resin.
