Do you like this video? Please give it a thumbs up if you do. Let me know if you will try this DIY craft? The roses are so beautiful and they certainly look nice in any Instagram pictures!
My mom did this with all the roses my dad used to buy her, so I’ve gotten into it as well. Shame that the roses lasted longer than a 25 year marriage. 😅😂
Lovely video. I used this method to preserve my daughter's bridal bouquet and reassembled it. It is in a glass case 4 years, still beautiful. I have last valentine's red roses preserved and ready to display. My father's memorial wreath is full of white roses. They are now in the same silica gel. We'll share them in small shadow boxes for his children. So, imo and exp,1 yr. is not accurate. My half sis got married in 06 and her bouquet was preserved ( by pro$), and sealed in glass box. Still looking good😊
Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your experience with the longevity of your bouquets. It’s great to know that it can last beyond a year. ☺️🙌🏼 🌹
OMG I CANT THANK U ENOUGH FOR THIS VIDEO ITS EXACTLY WELL ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT IM LOOKING TO DO WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTERS GRADUATION ROSES I BOUGHT HER. THE GEL BEAD THINGS CAME TODAY IM SO EXCITED. THANK U THANK YIU THANK YOU 🙏🏼
❤❤ No way is it that easy 😮 Today’s 5/6 and Mother’s Day is 5/12 so mom won’t be getting this yet lol. But she sure will very soon. A Just because gift 💝
@@lovelyjubbly4151 Thank you for watching! I got these frames from Amazon by searching up ‘shadow box frames’ and a lot of options came up. Mines approximately 2.5-3 inch depth.
I dunno u will see this comment or not because it is an old video , but did the rose stayed soft after the 2 weeks process , and did the rose stayed fresh for more than a year ?
Hello, just to give you an update. The roses stayed exactly like this video for a year. It only started to fade out little by little in 18 months. I still have them and it’s a more dull colour today but none of the petals dropped off. Hope that helps
I already know how to dry flowers with silica yet I watched this entire video because it was so well made. I've liked and subscribed and hope to see more of your videos. Have you ever tried preserving flowers with glycerin?
That’s not necessarily true! I’m not sure how long you’ve been preserving flowers but I preserved 2 dozen roses from my fiance from our first Valentine’s day (2018) & I still have them in a Shadow box & they are still PERFECT!!! Valentine’s day was 2 days ago!!! & that made them 4 years!!!!!
Your roses turned out lovely! Were you able to dry all those roses (looks like 28 roses?) with just a 5lb bag of silica gel? I'm going to be drying a dozen roses (maybe more idk yet) and I'm not sure if 5 lb is enough or not.
5lb should be enough. The pack that’s in my link is 1.5lb and I got 2x of that, so essentially I dried out two dozen Roses that way. Also depending on the size of your container. So you’re safe with 5lb. Good luck!
sandra rodriguez Hi there! Thanks for watching! ☺️ I haven’t tried painting them in gold before. I suppose that is possible with a very delicate brush like a small cosmetic brush. The petals are very dry and fragile after the drying process so you would have to be very careful. Airbrush might be a better option to get into the creases. Thanks 🙏🏼
Hey I tried to do this the flowers are dying faster what am I doing wrong here I completely covered them with the Silicone sand and in a tub ware container
Hi, as long as it feels like paper dry. It’s very easy to shake off the excess silica sand off one of the flowers to check. Estimated time is 10 days or 2 weeks depending on humidity.
Sand is better as it reaches to every corner between the petals to dry out. But you need to submerge the whole flower and cover with silica. I have not tried with small beads before. Let me know how yours go. 😊
You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful. I got these box frames from Amazon. There are a lot of types to select from depending on the size you need. My roses are now almost a year and they still look pretty good on the display. Some colour fading as happened but overall I’m pleased with the results even close to a year. I am guessing about 18 months longevity. Thanks for watching
Hello! Can I do this process without cutting too much of the green stick of the Rose? I don’t like it so short but I wonder if it works if they are long
I had a couple questions! @SundayRose99 If I were to do this with a sunflower, will it work the same way? And also if I were to time this correctly for Valentine's Day, would I start this process 2-3 weeks before V-day?
Cassie Lee Hi Cassie, I believe that it will work for sunflowers as this silica drying method doesn’t apply any heat or wax, so the petals should be ok! Maybe for an extremely delicate flower petal, it might not work. But sunflowers should be ok, although I haven’t tried it myself. I would say that because sunflowers tend to be large, there’s going to be a lot more moisture to dry out, so you will need more silica and perhaps even up to 3 weeks to do this process. Hope that helps!
@SundayRose99 Is there a way to make them last longer than 1 year? I was wondering if you could recommend any wax dipping or alternative methods you found that works for you 😊
I haven’t tried wax or other methods. They might last longer since no air is able to get to the petals. But I think if the petals are too delicate, the wax might be damaging as well. Since using silica to dry out the flowers is still considered keeping everything natural, 12 months is not too bad in my opinion. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi LeeLee, they lasted 18 months with the brilliance & vibrant colours that you see in this video. It starts fading out little by little after 18 months. Today, they are still intact in the same jar & frame, just only the colour is much more muted. It’s definitely not brown or dead looking. Still pretty but muted/faded.
candy Anywhere from 6 months to a year! Most people say a year. Mine is still looking the same as when I posted this video, so I am confident to say a year. Hope that helps!

I have not tried the whole with stems. I believe it will work too. Thanks 🙏🏼

@@SundayRose99 Thank you
Nit sure if yoill see this because its an old video, but fo they change colour when preserved?
The colors stayed the same and lasted for 1.5 years before fading out
I dunno u will see this comment or not because it is an old video , but did the rose stayed soft after the 2 weeks process , and did the rose stayed fresh for more than a year ?

@@SundayRose99oh wow. Cool
Great video! Is there an update video 6 mos or a year later?
Great Job
Thank you.
Beautiful and clear simple instructions 🌹💐🥰
Beautiful…. I will try it out myself
I try making a dry rose and it start to decay and oxidise or turn brown only after 3 days? what have i done wrong?
These cost like 300 and so simple process! I thought they were chemically treated.
They are, these are just dry not really the eternity ones
Besides silica gel what else can be used to coat the flowers to preserve them?
That was awesome to watch
Can you reuse silica after for more roses?
Yes the silica sand can be reused over & over @ over! Don’t get it wet and close it in a good storage box after usage, it will last you
Great vid, thanks!! ☺☺🌹🌹💯✔
Thanks!!!
I already know how to dry flowers with silica yet I watched this entire video because it was so well made. I've liked and subscribed and hope to see more of your videos. Have you ever tried preserving flowers with glycerin?
How do you make yours??? I've seen comments from people saying they tried the silica sand and the roses went brown and dry
Beautiful Roses 🌹Thanks for sharing the "howto" for having eternity roses! 👍
Thanks for watching! I love your content too! 😍
Thanks so much for the video quick question when using the silica method how long will the flowers usually last ?
They last for a year. Thanks for watching 😊
That’s not necessarily true! I’m not sure how long you’ve been preserving flowers but I preserved 2 dozen roses from my fiance from our first Valentine’s day (2018) & I still have them in a Shadow box & they are still PERFECT!!! Valentine’s day was 2 days ago!!! & that made them
4 years!!!!!
See above. One bouquet sealed in glass, same(prof/ glycerine method) 15+ years
Love this. Thanks. Will try. Wonder what other flowers can go through this process.
Good question. I love carnations and want to try
Perfect 😍😍
Thanks 🙏🏼
Beautiful roses! Love it in the Jo Malone. Thanks for sharing this DIY❤
Thanks! ♥️
Great video! Will this work for other types of flowers like peonies?

Thank you for sharing - I will def try this when my partner next sends roses 🥰
Love! I will try this!
Mine definitely didn’t look like this. They looked dried
I think you can microwave this to speed up drying process? I remember seeing this year's back
Very well done Video☺️ thx so much☺️

Such a gorgeous DIY ideas I would love to do this 🌹 thanks for sharing
Thanks! ♥️
Hey I tried to do this the flowers are dying faster what am I doing wrong here I completely covered them with the Silicone sand and in a tub ware container
Thank you. I'll make this for my girlfriend
You’re welcome ☺️
How do you know when the flowers are dried enough? Ty in advance!
Hi, as long as it feels like paper dry. It’s very easy to shake off the excess silica sand off one of the flowers to check. Estimated time is 10 days or 2 weeks depending on humidity.
does the silica gel has to be in sand form? I can only find in small beads form..
Thanks
Sand is better as it reaches to every corner between the petals to dry out. But you need to submerge the whole flower and cover with silica. I have not tried with small beads before. Let me know how yours go. 😊
Thank you for this video !! Where did you get your box from and how long did your roses last? Over a year ?
You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful. I got these box frames from Amazon. There are a lot of types to select from depending on the size you need. My roses are now almost a year and they still look pretty good on the display. Some colour fading as happened but overall I’m pleased with the results even close to a year. I am guessing about 18 months longevity. Thanks for watching
Is it ok if i use silica gel that used in the shoes box?
That won’t be enough to cover up the entire flower.
If we paint the roses will they last forever?
❤❤
Was it okay for Ari Cagan to use clips from your forever roses original video. Did he tell you?
Who is he? And which video ?
Do the roses stay soft and pliable to the touch?
No it’s like paper dry to the touch. Thanks
Where i can find to buy the silica ?
I have them all linked in the description box in this video. They’re from Amazon
Hello! Can I do this process without cutting too much of the green stick of the Rose? I don’t like it so short but I wonder if it works if they are long
They would work for sure. Just make sure the entire rose and stem is covered in silica. Thanks for watching!
Thank you dear!!
Wow..beautiful..hello..,Does the flower colour fade if i try use cat litter?
Do they need to be watered or no
Can we smell them after this all process?
I had a couple questions! @SundayRose99 If I were to do this with a sunflower, will it work the same way? And also if I were to time this correctly for Valentine's Day, would I start this process 2-3 weeks before V-day?

@@SundayRose99 thank you so much! I intend to keep it's stem with it, so will the time drying in the silica gel be about the same, you think?
Cassie Lee It should be same time. The tip here is to completely cover it with silica in all corners. Best of luck to you 😊
@@SundayRose99 Thank you so much again!
❤
Do they change color?
They have changed colour to be more dull after 12 months. By 18 months they are more brown but still beautiful.
Hi, where we can buy a preserved roses?
Forever roses or million roses
Were your petals still soft or were they crisp?
Crisp
@SundayRose99 Is there a way to make them last longer than 1 year? I was wondering if you could recommend any wax dipping or alternative methods you found that works for you 😊
I haven’t tried wax or other methods. They might last longer since no air is able to get to the petals. But I think if the petals are too delicate, the wax might be damaging as well. Since using silica to dry out the flowers is still considered keeping everything natural, 12 months is not too bad in my opinion. Thanks for tuning in.
How long did yours last
Hi LeeLee, they lasted 18 months with the brilliance & vibrant colours that you see in this video. It starts fading out little by little after 18 months. Today, they are still intact in the same jar & frame, just only the colour is much more muted. It’s definitely not brown or dead looking. Still pretty but muted/faded.
Vengo a ver el vídeo por la recomiendación de mi asistente digital .
Hi there, I tried doing this process after watching your video, however after 7 days my roses were really crispy?
That’s great! The dehydration of the roses worked for the flowers. This will preserve them. 🙌🏼
They should be crispy
How do they smell after the drying process?
They don’t smell like anything after drying out. It looses the scent once it’s dried out. Hope that helps
i have a question can you do this with other flowers not just roses?
I’m pretty sure that you can, except for the flowers that are too delicate.
@@SundayRose99 oh ok thank you
Arent these flowers brittle
Yes they are dry
Sorry, did you cover the rose petals as well in silica?? Or just the base, & let the stem soak up the silica?
Cover everything, petals, stem, and all
Bien l accent :)
can you reuse the silica gel?
Athena B For sure, it can be reused over and over again. Thanks
I did it but it changed colors
Will they feel like dry roses when touched?
Yes they do feel dry to the touch
how long this rose can survive until all the petals fall out ?
candy Anywhere from 6 months to a year! Most people say a year. Mine is still looking the same as when I posted this video, so I am confident to say a year. Hope that helps!
