Miniature Roses Fashioned From Bread
LOU ANN GOOD

LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.)
Most people eat bread, but Car
ol Lee Shirk of Landisville makes
roses from it She uses the dainty
roses to make jewelry and to deco
rate accessories for a Victorian
accent
Recently Carol Lee taught a
class on making roses at the Lan
caster County Extension office.
She also taught the class to make
Victorian angels, baskets, wreaths,
and Christmas balls accented with
the homemade roses.
Carol Lee’s recipe for the home
made roses is simple:
2 slices of white bread
1 tablespoon tacky glue
“For best results, do not use Ita
lian bread or dry bread,” Carol Lee
said.
Tear off the crusts. Break the
bread into tiny pieces almost
crumb size.
Mix together the glue and the
bread crumbs. Add the desired
shade of acrylic paint Knead the
mixture with your hands until the
bread crumbs disappear and the
mixture feels like putty.
Take a small pea size portion of
the mixture and press paper thin
into an oblong shape. Roll length
wise and gently curl back the edges
until it looks like the center of a
rosebud. Press tiny round shapes
for petals and press against the
center of the rose bud. The petals
should be placed slightly higher

than center pan Use three to four
petals for a rosebud or more until
you get the desired size.
The rosebud is then ready to
attach to a jewelry pin or used as a
Victorian accent to a variety of
accessories. Make leaves by
adding green paint to the mixture
and form into leaf shapes and
attach to bottom of rose.
The rosebuds made from
bread and glue combined
with dried materials make
attractive bouquets.
,ier this spring, I used the Aer-Way Implement and
-Way chain harrow on my rolling pastureland. This
done to open up the ground to get water into the
grasslands. At the same time I pulled the Aer-
Way chain harrow to scatter the cattle manure around.
Even after the dry summer we had, I noticed that the
Aer-Wayed ground held the moisture better and we got
thicker and taller regrowth where we ran the machine.*

To make a Victorian angel, you
need a 4-inch square of netting for
the head. A 4-inch square of eyelet
material for the wings, and a
6-inch square of eyelet material for
the skirt.
Crumble potpourri and place
about a teaspoon in the center of
the netting. Twist the netting
around the potpourri to form a
round shape for the head. Tie tight
ly with a piece of thread.
Pleat the eyelet material for the
wings and the skirt in accordion
style. Place head in the center of
the skirt with head just touching
the skirt material. Threads should
lay in front of the skirt. Tie 12-inch
length of 'A -inch ribbon around
neck to keep the head and skirt in
place. Wait to trim thread and rib
bon when angel is finished.
Place pleated wings in center
top of skirt and fasten.
Glue petal from Money Plant on
