Pressed flower frames
This season, cutting gardens are all the rage. There’s something magical about growing flowers for the sake of their beauty. While fresh flowers from the garden or cut and placed in a vase are lovely, they are, sadly, transient. By pressing your favorite blossoms and displaying them in frames, you can preserve the delicate beauty of the flower garden. In order to begin with this, arrange your favorite flowers. Take the first third of a large, thick book and open it. Place a piece of printer paper on one of the pages and arrange the flowers so that they do not touch. Place another piece of paper over the flowers you just laid out, sandwiching them between both sheets. Close the book by carefully grabbing the next one-third of the pages and closing it so that the flowers are sandwiched between the printer paper and the book pages. Place more books (or a cinderblock) on top of the pressed flower book to keep the pressed flowers evenly weighted. Carefully open the book in two to three weeks and remove your dried, pressed flowers. Carefully place the flowers on a piece of paper and set it on the frame. This could be a great DIY art and craft décor for the walls!
