Where Cotton Flower keeps the husk whole, Cotton Petal or Chips breaks it down into its individual segments. The result is a generous pile of small, boat-shaped pieces, each one gently cupped with a pointed tip. Inner faces are a soft oatmeal or biscuit colour, while backs range from warm taupe to near-black, so a handful scattered across a surface shows constant light-and-dark movement.
These chips are lightweight and bulky for their weight, which makes them an efficient filler for potpourri bowls, sachets and gift boxes. They layer loosely, leaving air pockets that let other components show through, and their curved shape holds fragrance oil well when a buyer wants to create a scented blend. Craft users also glue them in overlapping rows to form scale-like surfaces on frames, balls and wreath rings.
Floral Mongers supplies Cotton Petal or Chips naturally dried and unscented, packed by weight. As a supplier of wholesale dried flowers and potpourri components from India, we can mix these chips with slices, pods and cones to build complete blends for private-label ranges.
