Carefully rub on tacky glue and press the petals on them. Sew the edges using gold thread, it will look expensive.

Sachets: You buy sachets, those little baggies to store your lingerie sweetly scented in the drawer. Now get one breathable bag of lace, linen or some tight mesh. Fill it with these flower petals and using a pretty ribbon tie it. It always makes a wonderful gift.
