I have an abundance of marigolds that will in no time disappear with the oncoming winter weather. Instead of just letting them die, I would like to do something creative with them. Though normally crafty, I am at a loss. I could use the whole flowers or even just the tiny petals. I'd like to preserve the beautiful colors and maybe even the fragrance if possible. Has anyone else preserved this summer flower or something similar in some craft form? ,If so can you tell me what it is you have done? Thanks!
