Right now my Bo-K is sitting in my freezer. I want to make a shadow box with it. How can I preserve it once I take it out the freezer so I won't die the minute I take it out?
TIA

hmmm, the freezer? Mine just dryed out, I don' t think my mom did anything special, but I am not sure how freezing would affect it.

Hello Ladies, I have a Bo-K question for ya!
Right now my Bo-K is sitting in my freezer. I want to make a shadow box with it. How can I preserve it once I take it out the freezer so I won't die the minute I take it out?
TIA
DIY - i dont know how...
KeepSake Foral - normally you would send it in ASAP after the wedding... it cost $$$ but it comes out great. I hope DW Bo-K comes back soon as we paid for it. she sent hers about a 4 days after the wedding cause she wasn't sure if she wanted it or not

I used keepsake floral; I got the dome. I love it. Even though it was expensive, its the one thing I decided I really wanted to keep and display.

Re: Bo-K Preservation
i dried mine myself because with all the other wedding $$ i just couldnt spend that on the preservation. it is all dried out in my room in NY and just hanigng there. i am a DIYer anyway so i am going to make some kind of shadow box. it wont last forever, but that is OK

i did too and loved them - it was worth the $$$ in my opinion....we look at it still as it hangs on the wall in the bedroom (we got the heart shaped one in a box frame!) and we love it!
