sugar roses

[naftey.livejournal.com]

Alright, I was wondering if any of you ladies had any ideas for me. I have one of those sugar roses that you get on cakes and the like. ( i hope your all following this) and I was wondering if there was something I could use to keep it and make it strong so it wouldnt crumble so I could make something for it. I was thinking like a clear enamel type thing. Actually my first thought was just to paint a few coats of clear nail polish on the thing, but I dont know it that would melt it or not.
Any thoughts?
Thanks. (ps I know I sort of ramble..)
