PRESSING FLOWERS (part 1)

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: LOW

There are all sorts of beautiful projects to be done using pressed flowers. This is the first part of a two part project. First we will press the flowers, then we will make something amazing with them in a few weeks time! 

YOU WILL NEED: 
books
baking paper
flowers

---

STEP 1: Collect flowers. Very small flowers will produce great results. The bulkier the flower is, the more difficult it will be to press, but it can be done! ​

---

STEP 2:  Place a piece of baking paper inside a book. Then lay out your flowers so that the aren't touching each other. ​

---

STEP 3: Place another piece of baking paper overtop of the flowers and close the book. ​

---

STEP 4: Place the book at the bottom of a stack of other books or heavy things and leave to dry for 2 weeks. Check back with Busy Kids Corner in 2 weeks for ideas of what to make with your flowers! ​
