Laurabeard thought that a great way to remember how much fun she had on her camping vacation would be to press some of the beautiful flowers she came across.
What you need:
- Large book, like a dictionary
- Wax paper
- A collection of fresh flowers and leaves
What you do:
When you’ve collected some pretty flowers and leaves with your friends, cut two pieces of wax paper, large enough to place two or three flowers on, and small enough to fit inside your book. Cut enough wax paper for all of your flowers or leaves. Open your book at a random page near the back. Place one piece of wax paper on the page and arrange a few flowers on it. Cover with another piece of wax paper and close book. Open to a new page closer to the front of the book (so as not to disturb the flowers you have already inserted) and repeat with remaining flowers. Wait four weeks and open the book to find beautifully pressed, dried flowers.
Frame your dried flowers and hang them on the wall, or glue them onto a piece of paper to make your own stationery or greeting cards.

We make bookmarks like this and cover with clear contact paper. Grandma loves them for Christmas!
OOH!!!!!!! That looks so fun! I have to try this! I have plenty of flowers and leaves! And maybe I can use rose pettals for something! Or use oak tree leaves for the fall!
This is ssooo fun to do. It is great to save memories! Like in April I was in a play (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe) And I received flowers from my aunt and so I saved them to always remember that night. It was the greatest night of my life!
:-D :-)) !

I have done this before! I used 2 blocks of wood instead of a book, it looks pretty that way! :D

That’s a neat craft! Instead of flowers, in the fall me and my brother and sister use leaves. They always look so pretty. :)
