I make my own soap and use (semi-) dried petals in it to make it more interesting. Yours might not have much smell left if they’ve been dried for a long time and might be too brittle to use but it might be worth a try if you make soap too.

Also candles can be made with petals in them.. unless as Lynn says they too brittle.
perhaps it may have been better to press them instead of drying? I know the horse has bolted but just a suggestion.
if they had been pressed then they would have had a myriad of applications..altho I wouldnt applaud it as you see my views below.
Glad to read you nolonger have cut flowers..good for you.
i love to have a growing plant as a gift in the house but I consider the cutting of flowers to be denying life to a living organism..they should be allowed to live out their natural life in the soil.

If they smell a bit, you can make them into your own pot pourri. Put them in the living room and your house will smell nicer.

Use them as an extra feature when wrapping a gift. Presents wrapped in brown paper with raffia around them tied with a bow and then a dried flower placed behind the bow look great.

If they have faded and look tatty you can compost them

Keep your clear; semi-hard plastic packaging from products at the store (not plastic wrap, but a box). I had a nice tall one and wound up trimming all of my dried flowers and filled the box with them. It’s like a 3-D piece of art, and your flowers won’t get dusty!

OKay- I have a freind that has TONS on dried roses, so she made wreath out of them. She brought a nice cheap wreath and somehow attached the roses to the wreath. Even the brown ones look good. It looks like she bought it at a home decorating store.

*friend not freind ha.
