What can I make out of dried flowers from my mothers funeral arrangments that would make nice memory gift ?
Make a shadow box, or buy one and place the dired flowers inside, so you can display it on the wall and you can always see them.
Reply:You could get a few more of her personal things that meant so much to her and remind you of her and make a very decorative shadow box. This can be done fairly easily and looks very nice. This also will alow people to view these memories in a very decorative way.
Reply:you can get a picture frame with a wide mat, and glue the flowers to the mat and put a pic of her in it, or a pic of the two of you in it.





You can make a wreath as well.
Reply:I would look at Victorian keepsakes at the library on online like fans, silk posies and wall decorations that can be framed. I am sorry about your loss.





You may not have time for all this with all the visiting relatives and choose a floral paper memorial at your church and give the flower arrangements to a nursing home or hospital like we did.
Reply:you can put together her favorite flowers or the ones you like the most that go together well. [or you can choose one by itself]. get a beautiful ribbon one that goes with the flowers you chose and one that reminds you of her and tie it around the flower[s] in a small bow. find a glass box that would be able to fit the arrangement inside. or you could press the flowers and tie them together and frame them in a nice frame. i did this after my mom's funeral.hope this helps
Reply:you can have a rose bronzed then place it over a phote album with the pressed flowers and pictures you love. I am sorry for your loss. It hurts like hell and I hate that our loved ones have to go.
Reply:Have you thought of putting them onto paper and making a scrapbook? Use them on the front page and then put pictures and other memorabilia about your mom inside.
Reply:Neatly attach one of the dried dead leafs to nice card and write something to the extent.."Just like this flower, we will all wither away.."





"Thanks for attending!"





Make sure to thank everyone and maybe do a fondue party and make a note about that too on the same card.
Reply:Picture Frame or Shrine


Scrapbook


Corsage (maybe a Picture)





What is the Place or Thing that Reminds you Most of Her?
Reply:see if your mother had some lace handkerchiefs..and take some of the dried flowers and put between these 2 handkerchiefs..add some fragrence like for potpourri or perfume..maybe her fav perfume...and sew the edges together or just wad this up and tie closed with a ribbon...


its a cute idea to sit on shelves..bookcases..or jsut sit on atable..someplace where youd see it alot.. and you'll always have a memory of your mother..


heres ahug sweetie..and im sorry to hear of your loss..GOD bless
Reply:put it in a vase and with a purple ribon around it. and buy perfume and put the whole bottle in the vase in the vase
Reply:You can make a 1.5-2" tall box (similar to a lid of a shoe box) out of wood. Find things that remind you of your mother and fill the box. Place the flower petals around these items and pour liquid epoxy over them. Allow to dry and you will be able to display these items forever.
Reply:Make a salad and eat it.


This would be most ORIGNAL!
