Rosary Beads From Flowers Are The Perfect Keepsake
Saving flowers from a special event is very common. Whether you have saved flowers from a wedding, funeral, or birth, you probably pressed or dried them as a way of preserving them. Now you can memorialize the event by making rosary beads from flowers. This is a great way to create a family heirloom that can be passed on over the generations.
There are a few ways of making the bead. Usually the petals are boiled and then mixed with different ingredients to form polymer d ceramic clay. First the petals are dried, chopped, and ground up. Then boiled and worked into a clay. Each bead is rolled by hand, left unglazed, and fired by kiln. The bead created with the petals is a strong e product that makes a wonderful way to preserve a memory for years to come.
The flower fragments cannot be seen in the bead. However, there are irregularities in the surface that are evidence of the petals. A ceramic bead is a pastel color and the finish is matte. This bead is always unglazed. A polymer bead has a bolder hue with a smooth and polished appearance. The flower particles are quite visible with in the polymer bead.
The ceramic bead feels like a water worn pebble with a slightly rough surface similar to a fine sandpaper. A polymer bead feels smooth and velvety. Both of the materials are very tough and can only be broken on purpose by hitting it with something like a hammer. Everyday, normal use will not cause any damage to the bead. They can even stand up to accidentally running through the washing machine.
While the ceramic bead is like a small stone, the polymer bead has some flexibility. Once the ceramic and polymer bead comes out of the kiln they can last for year. The number of years a ceramic bead lasts is in the thousands. However, it is uncertain the number of years a polymer bead can last. Because of the material it is made with it is likely to be around for hundreds of years but its color can fade.
The beads do not naturally smell like the petals they are made from. Fragrance can be added to the bead using oils. This is an added feature that is done on request. Periodically you may need to add more fragrance to the prayer beads. You can purchase the fragrant oils at craft stores. You can also store the beads with a scented sachet to keep it fragrant.
