5 Step Spring Craft: Pressing Flowers
Choosing flowers to press
For the best results, try to select flowers that are relatively flat or have flat faces.
Materials Needed:
A Large Book
Parchment Paper
A weight
Step 1
Make sure your flowers are completely dry.
Step 2
Fold the parchment paper in half and place the flowers between the fold.
Step 3
Open the book about halfway and place the parchment paper, folded over the flowers, inside.
Step 4
Close the book and place your weight on top. Wait 2-3 weeks for flowers to dry.
Step 5
After your flowers are completely dry, peel them off of the parchment paper. Now you have dried flowers that will last!
