Keep in mind that it takes about three weeks for the flowers to flatten and dry completely, so this is not a project that can be accomplished on the spur of the moment. Pressed and dried flowers can be saved and used for a variety of craft projects. To produce homemade stationery or cards, lay the flowers on the paper in the desired positions, and paste them on with a mixture of 50 percent water and 50 percent white glue. Be sure to cover the flowers thoroughly. Press with a warm iron to set and fuse everything together.
Candles are another good repository for the dried and pressed flowers.
Just glue the flowers, leaves, etc. Allow to cool.
