i want to press the flowers that my boyfriend gave me, can i still do that when they are dried?
What i always do is cut off most of the stems, get a dictionary and put them in the middle and pile books on top of that dictionary. In 4 days or so, they are perfectly pressed! (:
You can only press flowers if they are fresh, dried flowers will just crumble. To press fresh flowers, just put them between the pages of a thick book. They make special paper to assist the process that you can find in craft stores. Make sure the petals and leaves are nicely arranged before closing the book! Press them early next time.
I am afraid that would not be a good idea. The petals would just crumle. You would be better off just keeping it in a shoebox or something like that.
