The first night I got the gelatin flower tips, I was so excited. However, I didn’t have any clear gelatin in the pantry so I decided to try to make flowers in some Jello I already had on hand. It did NOT work. The colors of the gelatin I had were too dark and you can’t even tell that I tried to put a flower in the jello. Don’t try it. It’s not going to work.
(Also, I love to use my Great-Grandma’s Corelle vintage dishes. They are my go to dishes for lunch and when I just need a plate. Love them.)
So the next day I went to the grocery store and bought a package of Knox clear gelatin and some flavoring. **Note – You have to flavor clear gelatin. I tried to use a clear gelatin once years ago and didn’t flavor it. It was terrible. Don’t make the same mistake. Check out this post on my clear gelatin recipe.
That night, I created my first successful gelatin flower. It turned out amazing and it really wasn’t that hard. It’s pretty easy for an impressive effect.
Here are some links to some products that. can help you get started with your first gelatin flower. Make sure you get clear flavors for the clear part of the gelatin.
I’d love to see your first jello flowers. Please leave a comment and link below.
