How to Preserve Flowers in Wax

Wax Flower Preservation constituents

We need:

• Open roses
• Microwave oven-safe vessel
• Soy wax flakes
• Delicacy thermometer (voluntary)
• Empty bottles or vases or wax paper

Steps we follow

1. Cut the stems of roses to about 8 ″- 10 ″ long to make it easy to dip the heads into the wax, also place the stems into your bottle or vase to cool. Be sure to put scrap paper on your work face, including under the bottles, to catch sopping wax.

2. Fill the microwavable vessel all the way to the top with the wax flakes and microwave oven for 2 twinkles. After 2 twinkles, take the vessel out of the microwave oven and stir the melted wax with a disposable plasticspoon.However, return the vessel to the microwave oven for another nanosecond and reprise, If there’s still any white/un-melted wax. Also As the wax melts, you might find that you need to add further flakes. Just go ahead and stir them into the vessel and continue the melting process.

3. Formerly all of the wax is melted, you can start dipping. Place the wax vessel on a defended face and have your bottle or vase ready to place the dipped roses in for cooling. You can also place the dipped roses on wax paper to cool, but they will keep their shape better if they cool while upright.

Cool your wax rose upright in a vase or bottle

Note : Wax should be at about 100 degrees and can be measured with a delicacy thermometer.

Set up that melting the wax in short supplements of time will keep it from getting too hot. Wait for a nanosecond or two after removing my wax from the microwave oven to start dipping. Wax is getting too cool if it starts to get cloudy looking and appears cloudy on the rose petals as well. Your thing isn’t suitable to tell that the rose has been dipped in wax!
