Question:

How do you press a flower?

I have some roses that I want to press at home. How do I do it?

Answer:

if you want to keep them forever dry them out or leave them alive but you but should hairspray them or if you want to make them flat to go in a book get an empty book and leave it between them.
Here is a great website to go to.
A rose is a thick flower to press. One way to do it is to remove all the petals individually and press them separately from the center, then reassemble them with a clear quick drying glue. I think there is a better way to preserve them, though. You can find special granules at a craft/hobby store that will draw the moisture out and hold the rose in it's original shape. You need a container to place the flower in and you pour the granules over it to cover. The rose will dry in place and come out looking natural.
