Preserving Flowers into a Christmas Ornament

It's flower season!  My daughter just went to Prom a few weeks ago and I wanted to preserve her corsage into a Christmas ornament.  If you want to preserve your own flowers, I have bulbs ready to purchase here.

I prefer the glass fillable ornaments I can normally find at my local craft store but it's not the right season to find those now.  However, I did find these plastic ornaments on Amazon

I cut apart pieces from the corsage

I put the ribbon in first.  Since my daughter wanted to preserve the corsage, I only took some of the flowers off.  Normally, I would have stuffed all of them in.  I used a wooden dowel to ease the flowers in the bulb. The finished ornament is below.

I wrote the event on the side with a permanent marker
