If the flowers are light enough, then they will probably pop up. Flowers themselves before you put them in a jar, you should prepare. To do this, the stem is made by the slices, all the leaflets are removed below, and the skin on the stem or bark is cleaved somewhere by centimeters on 6. Thus, the glycerin solution can be better able to penetrate the preservative flower.

To do this, we will need 3 parts of boiling water, which will need to be pouring only one part of the glycerol. When you do it, then the solution is simply mixed well, and you can safely wait for it to cool about room temperature. After that, they can already fill our flowers.

Most likely, in the solution, flowers will be chaotic. To position them as you want this, take the tweezers or a thin wand, and "arrange" them in places. After that, the bank can already be covered with a lid. Further, only your fantasy is already working. That is, the container itself can be accepted as you like. You can lend to the cover of multi-colored ribbons, fasten to add drummers or apply any other decor elements.

We change the glycerin solution. Why do you need to do?

When you finish working on decorating the tanks with the flowers, you can already put the bank in its place. It will take place somewhere 2, the flowers are completely impregnated with glycerin, and the solution in the bank is quite possibly like. This is due to pollen, which is preserved on colors, and flower juice. In order for the situation to correct and make the solution again transparent, it is simply merged from the can, and replace it with a new one. Flowers themselves when replacing the solution, it is better to rinse well. After that, the solution will not more more more, and the flowers will retain its appearance, which was at the stage of changing the solution.

Another advice on the decoration of the cover of your container. If you decorated it with pieces of fabric, then heal them with any essential oils, whose aroma, you are especially pleasant.
