Dried flower shadow box

by Jane Chappell
I saved and dried some flowers from my mothers funeral. I want to make keepsake shadow boxes for me and my two siblings. Searched online for some ideas but didn't find what I was looking for. Any ideas?

    I think a regular frame with glass and velvet would be nice.

    I did this once. Glue two frames together. Be sure to glue the glass to the front frame so it wont fall and crush the flowers. Also I think the velvet would be a very nice touch!

    My daughter saved her wedding bouquet which was not real flowers but never the less she wanted to save and protect them and she put them in a shadow box frame.

    I have a shadow box frame with a magnetic-latch glass door. Of course the flowers still have to be pressed in a heavy book until dry. Then carefully arrange them in the frame in a suitable composition and pin in place with 1/2" pins so you can open the frame and change them out occasionally.

    I actually have dried the flowers in the true shape of the blooms. My idea was to arrange in a bouquet to have them in a display shape. I Bought the spray to preserve the dried flowers and when that is dry I will wrap them in a bouquet. My dilemma is to shape the flowers and secure them into the shadow box. But do I add some type of saying or a note about our mom? Don't know if putting a picture of her in would be too much.
