These bowls only seem complicated - they are actually very easy to make and fun to design. They can even be made weeks in advance and kept frozen. Make sure that the rose petals are free from pesticides and clean.

Rose petals
2 glass bowls with a size difference of 1 to 2 inches
crushed ice
water
masking tape or rubber band

1. Start by placing a few petals on the bottom of the larger bowl. Place some crushed ice and make a base for the smaller bowl and place the smaller bowl inside the larger bowl, center, and slowly fill the space between the two with water. Add more petals in any pattern you like and push them down into the space, or crevice.

2. Secure the smaller bowl in the center of the larger bowl, using a strip of masking tape across the lip edges of both bowls to ensure that the smaller stays centered. Place bowls in freezer until frozen, about 4 hours.

3. Secure the position with a masking tape or a rubber band. When that freezes, add more water, filling to just below the lip of the smaller bowl, and refreeze. Remove bowls from freezer, and let stand for about 5 minutes. When the ice has loosened from the glass, remove tape and lift out the smaller bowl. Remove "ice bowl" from larger glass bowl, and return it to freezer until ready to use.
