Make your bouquet last forever.
(In scarf form)
Step 1
Start by soaking the scarf from your bouquet in a mixture of 3 parts water, 1 part vinegar.
Step 2
Wring the scarf out and lay it on a flat surface.
Step 3
Arrange the petals, leaves, and buds from your bouquet on the scarf.
step 4
Roll the scarf from one end to the other, keeping it as taut as possible.
Step 5
Rolling from the new end, form a spiraled bundle. Secure the bundle tightly with twine.
Step 6
Steam the bundle in a double-boiler or immerse in boiling water for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
step 7
Remove the bundle and let it cool overnight.
step 8
Remove the twine, unwind the scarf and remove all plant matter.
step 9
Hang the scarf to dry. Once fully dry, press the scarf with an iron to seal in the color then hand wash in cool water using a pH free detergent and hang to dry.
