Description
Create beautiful, one-of-a-kind bookmarks using pressed flowers, adding a personal touch to your reading experience.
Ingredients
- Fresh flowers (e.g., pansies, violets, daisies)
- Parchment paper or wax paper
- Heavy books or a flower press
- Clear contact paper or laminating sheets
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Craft knife (optional)
Instructions
- Select fresh flowers, ensuring they are free from moisture and bruises. Trim stems to about 1 inch and remove excess leaves.
- Place flowers between two sheets of parchment or wax paper. Stack heavy books on top (or use a flower press) and leave for 1-2 weeks.
