Materials Needed:
- Flowers
- Newspaper
- Tissue Paper
- Wax Paper
- Clear Contact Paper
Instructions:
Press your flowers as described on this page: Save Your Summer Blooms.
Once your flowers are ready, cut a piece of was paper to the size you want your picture. Carefully arrange your flowers on the wax paper into the design you want (they will be fragile!). Add a small dab of glue onto the back of your flowers to hold them in place. Set them aside to let the glue dry a bit. Cover your the flowers and wax paper with a piece of clear contact paper. gently press to make sure the contact paper adheres to the all the flowers.
You can now frame your picture with a piece of construction paper or a real frame if you like. You can also use it as a cover for a card, a book, or whatever else you can dream up. Using this method, you should have your summer blooms well after summer is gone!
