Cindy, I thoroughly enjoyed viewing all the Beginner Course Lessons and it helped immensely. You shared shortcuts and tips that I would never have known otherwise. Thank you so much. Now, as a member, I am enjoying the library of weekly videos too. What a wonderful way to spend time and think of others. I am really focusing on creating petal keepsake jewelry. Thanks, Treaki

Hi Jayne, nice to have you here! Sure you can use either the powdered rose petals or the freeze dried petals in your polymer clay rose petal beads. Each would give a different look to the beads, but either would work. Freeze dried is the best quality method for drying flowers since it is so quick the flowers don’t get a chance to fade.

I recommend you buy the video on how to make the rose petal beads, especially since you make rosaries to sell. This will mean you will be able to make your own rosary beads using real flowers, plus do custom beads using the flowers from a customers special event or memorial.

I’ve linked to it by my name. It’s the second video in Vol 003 called the Flower Petal Inclusion Technique.

I hope that helps. ~Cindy

I just found your site and would like to know: have you ever used the commercially prepared organic powdered rose petals for making polymer clay beads? I thought it sounded like an easy alternative for making petal beads but I want to get someone else’s opinion. Also, what about using commercially freeze dried organic petals – are they ok to use for beads? All I have seen is instructions for “dried” petals – would “freeze dried” be the same thing?

As you can tell, I’m new to this. :)

I am so glad I found this site. My oldest son recently passed away and someone had given me a bracelet and earrings made out of his flowers. I love them and where them just about everywhere. A friend of mine is wanting a bracelet for her daughter made out of the bridal flowers. I was looking for a website of someone locally that made them. I may now consider doing this myself. Thankyou, Marie

Hi Mica,

No this video does not discuss adding the scent of rose petals to your polymer clay beads. However, by using “scent” as the keyword in the search box at the top of the page, you will find some article and comment links where this topic has been discussed elsewhere here at the blog.
