- In this video I share how I make beautiful crystallized silk flowers. Also, tips on reusing borax, preserving flowers and ideas for display. Use them as a centrepiece for the holidays, on branches for interior decor, or for individual place settings on special occasions.

You have answered everyone of my questions and I didn't even have to ask them. Thanks.
Oh great. So glad you liked this. If you use the clear spray to seal them , test one flower with just a very light mist or it will dull the crystals and turn them white. I had another viewer mention this so I just wanted to share that. Happy flower making and thanks for watching.
If you try using a adhesive spray and spray it on the flowers first then kind of dip it in the borax powder that’s been sifted in a bowl then dip it in your solution you might get better results.. Thank you for your video you’ve been a big help.
Thanks so much for this information. I’ll try it next time. Thanks for watching, l appreciate the support.
I’ve been looking for a good detailed video on how to crystallize flowers with borax and yours was the BEST by far.
Thanks so much. The crystals are beautiful on the flowers. It’s really amazing how the crystals grow overnight. Thanks for watching
@@suzyrebeloI’m going to try it tonight!
@@mlorraine28good day , hope your crystallized flowers turned out nice.
@@suzyrebelo they came out beautiful! I can’t thank you enough for the excellent video! I have one question though, one of my poinsettia flowers petals are too heavy to stay up. Do you know of a way to prop them up and still be pretty?
I know what you mean, they are even nicer in real life. I would try and hot glue a thin wire to the back of the petal for support , leave a a bit of wire to wrap and secure it to the stem...or, use heavy craft paper, green, cut a circle big enough to attach to the underside of the flower without showing...a couple of inches wide...make a cut into the centre of the circle. Slide the circle under the flower, it should create a support for all the petals , if it does, hot glue it in place. I hope this makes sense and helps...happy flower making

Thank you. I still have my flowering branch at my front entrance. Still looks great but I think it's time for spring flowers. Thanks for watching
Great detailed video! Thank you! How long did it take for the flowers to completely dry? I'd like to give myself enough time to make them for the holidays.
Hello. The flowers take a good 4 hours or so to dry. This depends on how warm and dry the house is. I actually allowed all the flowers to dry overnight. I did them in batches. This helped when I spray sealed them because they were really nicely set and dry, easy to handle. I’m sure you’ll create wonderful arrangements that your family and friends will love. Happy holidays. Thanks for watching.
My crystals are going chalky white. I sprayed them with lacquer and yhey are still turning? Solution please!
Hi there. Hmmm. I’m not sure why they are turning chalky. They do turn more opaque white with time. I used a very light coat of clear acrylic spray… a mist you could say, not direct spray. Perhaps the lacquer spray you used had a reaction to the borax or perhaps there was too much spray. Were your flowers covered with sparingly crystals before you sprayed? You can always skip spraying and just make sure the flowers are kept in a dry place. I still have my branch flowers on display and they have maintained their sparkle.
@@suzyrebelo hey Susie. I made crystals and sprayed them with clear lacquer. What is acrylic spray?
Lacquer is solvent based and acrylic is water based. I don’t know the chemical composition. I’m only guessing it’s the spray if the flowers were sparkly before you used it. Also, I literally sprayed in the air and let it mist the flowers. I used very little.
@@suzyrebelo Thank you. I will try that acrylic. I'm grieving over my once beautiful crystals.
If you don’t like your flowers and you think they are ruined, test one flower by soaking it in water to see if the crystals dissolve , then try soaking in borax again. I know it’s discouraging when projects don’t turn out... It does work , just like you see in the video.
Me interesa mucho el tema, pero no traducen al español.
Sorry about that. I hope you can understand by the demonstration. I’m using (polvo de bórax) and water. Thank you for watching.
