How do you make rose oil?

I have a box of rose petals from my moms wedding and i dont know what to do with them

Hi - I found roseoil, rosewater, sachets and potpurri - maybe one of those would be good...

Rose Oil/Water:
Homemade Rose Water and Rose Oil
Ingredients and Instructions
You can make rose water and extracts (or any other herb) at home. Take a large pot, insert a clean brick or rock, fill with rose petals or herbs or whatever around the brick. Cover with water and place a small glass dish on top of the brick. On top of the pot put a stainless bowl and fill with ice. Simmer about three hours depending how many petals or herbs you have, replacing the ice as needed. The bowl with the ice will condense the steam and drip down into the glass bowl. The water in the glass bowl is your rose water or whatever herb, on top will be a layer of oil. This is the essential oil. You can separate these and use the water in cooking and the essential oil in potpourri, lotions, soaps or whatever.

You can also make scented sachets, potpurri, face washes, coldcreams, tonics, mouthwash, use in a bath, etc - I included sites for all of these. I guess you wouldn't want to use them in any form that you put in mouth, etc though since you don't know what was sprayed on them.

This site does say how to make essential oils but I am not sure if this would be what you are looking for~

Rose Water - How to Make Your Own More Body Care Solutions
Adapted from Rosemary Gladstar's Herbs for Natural Beauty, by Rosemary Gladstar.
Rose water is used in cosmetics for its lovely scent, but also because it has light astringent properties. As the gentlest of all astringents, rose water is often used as toner for fair and dry skin.

You must be careful when purchasing rose water to buy only the 100 percent pure form. Often what is available in pharmacies and even some natural food stores is synthetic rose oil and water with preservatives added. Pure rose water is the distilled water of roses. It is usually made by stream distillation, and it smells heavenly and tastes delicious.
Availability: Besides health food stores and herb stores, you can often find rose water in delicatessens; it is used as a flavoring in fancy Greek pastries, puddings, and cakes.

Rose Water, Method #1

This recipe is the more traditional way to prepare rose water. Though it's a little more involved, its fun to do and the results are outstanding. You can make a quart of excellent-quality rose water in about 40 minutes. However, if you simmer the water too long, you will continue to produce distilled water but the rose essence will become diluted. Your rose water will smell more like plain distilled water, rather than the heavenly scent of roses.

Be sure you have a brick and heat-safe stainless steel or glass quart bowl ready before you begin.

Ingredients
2-3 quarts fresh roses or rose petals
water
ice cubes or crushed ice

1. In the center of a large pot (the speckled blue canning pots are ideal) with an inverted lid (a rounded lid), place a fireplace brick. On top of the brick place the bowl. Put the roses in the pot; add enough flowers to reach the top of the brick. Pour in just enough water to cover the roses. The water should be just above the top of the brick.

2. Place the lid upside down on the pot. Turn on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil, then lower heat to a slow steady simmer. As soon as the water begins to boil, toss two or three trays of ice cubes (or a bag of ice) on top of the lid.

3. You've now created a home still! As the water boils the steam rises, hits the top of the cold lid, and condenses. As it condenses it flows to the center of the lid and drops into the bowl. Every twenty minutes, quickly lift the lid and take out a tablespoon or two of the rose water. It's time to stop when you have between a pint and a quart of water that smells and tastes strongly like roses.

Imagine your dream romantic interlude. Is this a dimly lit room, surrounded by candlelight, with champagne, rose petals, strawberries, chocolate and music? If so, you are not alone.

If you want to create that same atmosphere for your wedding, you can (do this with a few simple and cheap!) Purchases of wedding Candle favors and a few accessories.

Some suggestions are to be compiled to create the perfect atmosphere for your wedding or event:

1) Purchase either plain clear or frosted glass candle holder candle holder for your event. Clear glass will reflect the fiery light of the candles and add a warm golden glow on your tables. Frosted glass are covered by a soft, white cast to your reception decor. You can save for a simple, inexpensive, owner of a craft or You can buy more elaborate designs of a wedding favor business. In any case, know that less is more a design how you want the candlelight me your priorities - Not the design on the candles.

2) For your reception centerpieces, choose flowers, romantic. Would have little short silver vases filled with red roses the typical and ideal mood-setter. But for a non-traditional and glamorous appeal, you can collect cars branches in white and put it in a high clear cylinder and fill with clear stones. The branches can then with miniature white lights or hanging crystals are decorated, will reflect the candlelight.

3) A mirror under your heart will also help to reflect more light candles to remember, with the right accessories, the less you need candles per table.

4) Scatter rose petals over the tables and between the candles. You do not need this, a heavy or thick fur of the petals. A Do light scattering. Sometimes more is better.

5) Pay attention to the candles at key locations around the venue instead: a hurricane vase and pillar candle from your scrapbook, the bar area with tea lights lined the head table with a candle at each setting, scented candles in the bathrooms.

6) Enter a romantic Candle wedding favor to each of your guests so that they also bring a touch of romance to take home. You could also each guest a personalized book of matches with to facilitate the introduction of the candle.

7) During your glass of champagne, ask the reception desk, a chocolate covered strawberries to serve with each glass, or alternatively, champagne glasses with a strawberry in them.

Do you think dim out the lights at the venue. The less direct light, the romantics of the site. If there is a Fireplace in a position to make sure that is also illuminated. Also, be sure to talk to the DJ or band and tell them about your organization. Perhaps you can dim lights for your entrance and dinner, followed by a lighting system for the opener after dinner dancing.

9) Remember, more music soft, sweet and romantic. If you want to create a mood, it's not just about the lighting, it is about the entire package. You want your music to the same feeling how to create the mood you are trying to take into account.

10) Finally, check with your location and make sure that you are within Candles. Some places do not allow candles will be lit by fire codes and in other locations, he may allow. Before planning such a wonderful event, make sure it can be created, just the way you want it!
