Materials

  • Fresh flowers (look for blossoms with vibrant colors)
  • A clear glass jar or container (ensure it has a tight lid)
  • Pure mineral oil or carrier oil (like jojoba or sweet almond; mineral oil is easy to find)
  • A clean pair of scissors (for trimming stems)
  • Optional: tweezers (to arrange delicate petals)

Instructions

  • Begin by choosing your flowers. Gently pluck the blossoms, admiring their color, shape, and scent. Make sure the flowers are fresh and free of moisture.
  • Trim the stems to your desired length, ensuring they fit snugly within the jar. Allow time to appreciate their shapes and colors as you work.
  • Fill your glass jar with the flowers, arranging them as you like. This moment allows you to connect with their beauty and express your creativity.
  • Slowly pour your chosen oil over the flowers, covering them completely. Notice the way the flowers float and settle in the oil, a beautiful blend of nature and nourishment.
  • Seal the jar tightly and find a cozy, warm spot for it to sit. Allow the oil to permeate the flowers over a few weeks. During this time, observe the changes and transformations taking place within the jar.
