The heat of your body causes the beads to give off the smell of the rose.
In enamel pan place one pound of red rose petals with just enough water to cover.
Simmer very slowly for one hour but do not boil.Cover and let stand over night.
Repeat these steps three more times.
By the fourth day,the petals and water will have become a smooth paste.
Take a small amount and roll it between your palms ,forming beads 1/4 inch in diameter.
Pierce each ball with a needle for stringing and let the beads dry on newspaper in a warm closet.
Thread the beads onto silk thread for your necklace.
These beads are sturdier than you would think,lasting several years and keeping their fragrance. They turn a polished red Sienna color.
