I never claimed to be cool.
I know I’m a giant nerd and I’m not ashamed to admit it! Some flowers I’ve been pressing for a few weeks. I got this old frame at a thrift store that I mounted them in. Lemme get your grandma’s number.
If you’re interested in pressing your own flowers, you can invest in a flower press, or try my jew method that works just as well:
- Sandwich flowers between several layers of paper towels on both sides
- Insert in the middle of a large text book (more room for more flowers!)
- Stack several more heavy books on top
- Let sit (smaller flowers can dry within three days, while larger flowers like the yellow ones may take up to three weeks just keep checking to make sure all the moisture is gone)
- Use tweezers to handle dry flowers
- Use Elmers glue to adhere dry flowers to the surface of your choice
