I was really bored in the weekend and decided to press some flowers from my garden, i put a few fuchsia, pink rose petals, orange rose petals, and an array of leaves i found in the garden, i put them in an heavy book with my dads lifting weights, i checked them yesterday and the fuchsia are brown, is this normal? anyway, i want to make a picture out of this, any ideas, i want to frame it in my living room, will it last?
You can't press roses because they crumble. You can dry them out and thats it. You can press posies, asters, and carnation petals but not roses. You can press leaves, pine needles and seed but not roses. Now forget about pressing those roses and go do the dishes.
info on using the microwave to dry your flowers, or to simply press them. Tips for using them in crafts too.
