For this craft you will need: shadow box / dried rose petals / cardboard / burlap / scissors / glue dots.

Cut the cardboard backing to the size of the shadow box.

Cut a piece of burlap to fit on the cardboard backing and glue it into place using multiple glue dots.

Rose petals can easily be dried by removing the petals from the stems and placing them in a bowl in a dry location.

Select a rose petal and add a glue dot to the back.

Fill in the heart completely with petals.

Place the rose petal heart in the shadow box and reassemble the box according to the manufacturer's directions.
