Rose Filled Ice Cubes

For a truly romantic evening, whether it’s for Valentine’s Day or an anniversary, show your love with this wine bucket filled with roses encased in ice. They’ll melt any heart. Be careful not to use iced roses in drinks unless you are positive the growers did not use any pesticides on them! This is an EASY DIY wedding project.

Materials (per ice tray)

12 spray roses (the small ones) 12 twist ties 2 wooden skewers 1 ice tray Floral tape

Directions

1. To keep the roses submerged in the ice trays, we have to build a framework that will weigh them down. Cut the spray roses, leaving about 2 inches of stem, and use twist ties to attach the stems to the skewers.

2. Place the roses, which are attached to the skewers, upside down in their individual ice compartments of the tray.

3. Tape down the skewers at the ends of the ice tray to keep everything from floating when you add water. Your ice tray should look like the one in the photo.

4. Add water to the ice tray and freeze overnight.
