Does anyone know anything about pressing flowers? I am trying to press some flowers from my Mom's memorial and I don't know for sure what I am doing. I put some flowers between wax paper and have kept heavy stuff on them. How long do I do this and are there any other steps????

Hi Dipo, Although I've never pressed flowers, my sil has done so in the past. I'll call her this weekend and ask about techniques. I'll be back in a day or two....

Um...I think you have the technique Dipo. There are some sort of crystals you can buy to help speed up the drying process. I have also dried flowers by tying them & hanging them upside down but that is not for the pressed effect. Just be careful, when you're ready to mount them as they may be very fragile. I think it's a matter of a couple weeks for drying. I'll see if I can find out for dure. Good luck!
