Did You Get Flowers for Valentine's Day? Upcycle Them!
by

Valentine's Day has come and gone, and we're guessing you have some flowers and a few steamy memories to prove it. While the memories may last forever, that bouquet of roses you have in a vase, sadly, will not.
Once those petals begin to wilt, it's time to ditch the vase and get creative. Keep the romance alive a little bit longer by upcycling your wilted flowers:
1. Make Dried Flower Candles. Once your petals start to look a little sad, turn that frown upside down by sticking them on a candle! Affix the dried flowers to the surface of a plain, white candle and then add a layer of clear wax to hold them in place. The result is beautiful, but the process can get a little tricky, so check out this detailed step-by-step.
