How to organise Petal Dusts

Do you have a drawer full of petal dusts like this one? I used to have all my dusts stashed away in a drawer exactly like this! Until I found a much better way of storing and organising my petal dusts…

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have so many petal dust colours from different brands that all come in different shapes and are really difficult to organise and store. I wanted to find a way to organise petal dusts to make it easier to see exactly which colours I had, and organise them so I could easily find the colours that I need my sugar flower projects.

So I started organising my petal dust into palettes in categories. I can now see exactly what colours I have available and I can easily grab a palette and start working on a sugar flower project.

Here I have some of my most used petal dust palettes. My vintage rose palette, my foliage palette and my pastels palette. I have organised all my dusts into the vintage rose palette that I most frequently use for my vintage sugar roses. So I have lots of pinks, purples and peaches, as well as some white, black and brown for mixing vintage shades and tints.

I don’t recommend organising the petal dusts by colour, like having all your pinks in one palette and all your reds in another.
