Thank you Lorene!! I truly enjoyed creating these!!! Thanks so much for watching my friend. I hope all is well. PS. Did you start a new IG account? I was meaning to check with you sooner, but got busy and forgot!

[@LiyanaDIY]

I loved watching the whole process. I've always dried my flowers naturally but I'm excited to try this method!

[@creartivebynature]

Aw, thanks so much Liyana. I am happy you were inspired. Definitely try this out, it's so fun, especially if you're in a pinch and need some pressed flowers quickly. Thanks for watching 💖🤗

I love the framed lavender, my favorite herb. I bought the air dried clay @ Wal-Mart but decided to give it to my 13 year old granddaughter she's so creative. I wonder if the Das clay could work? I would love to create a dish. Yours looks so beautiful. I had gone foraging in the early Fall last year and already have some dried feet and daisies. It's so much fun to walk around my little cottage and see what I can find. I followed you out in nature awh>e back when you were with your husband. I have moss and so many pinecone. Thank you for this fun tutorial.

[@creartivebynature]

Yes, I have heard good things about the Das brand, although some say it's hard to handle, but it's worth a try. So far the Crayola is working for me. I have another brand, I'll have to do a comparison. That's awesome that you have a collection of some natural goodies. Your fam sounds like mine, very creative 😃 Thanks so much for watching Doris. Happy crafting 💖🤗🌿

Donna, these are just fantabulous!!! ❤️😀

Thank you Rachel 💖💖💖

As always….I’m so inspired by your projects! I can be impatient waiting for my flowers to dry in a press and so the microwave idea sounds perfect!

[@creartivebynature]

I know, me too!! I will typically press them the traditional way due to the power usage, but when in need of some quickly, I'll definitely use this technique again 😉 Thanks so much for watching. Happy Crafting 💖🤗🌿

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

So many awesome ideas! I loved them all! 🥰🤗

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you so much Tina😊You've got to try the technique out, it's really fun!! Thanks for watching my friend. I hope all is well. It's been crazy busy around here, but all is well. Take care 💖

Donna I love these projects. I even have a huge tub of that air dry clay that I haven't even opened yet. Now I know what I'll be doing with it. LOL. 🩷🩷🩷

[@creartivebynature]

Thanks Helen!! Ya, I can't wait to make more air dry clay creations, so fun 😃 Thanks so much for watching my friend. Take care 🤗💖🌿

[@patriciaroberts1034]

These all are beautiful and very inspiring. The little trinket holder is my favorite

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you kindly, Patricia!! I appreciate it. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. 😀💖

[@carlaluhn6806]

I can't wait to try that microwave drying technique (I'm terrible at waiting 🥴🙃). I just bought some of that clay, haven't used it yet. Like you, I've heard very mixed reviews from creators about it but I'm also excited to try something with it. I think this was just the little push I needed to do so. Thank you SO much for this one Donna. My head is now spinning with all the possibilities.

[@creartivebynature]

YAY!! I am so happy you were inspired Carla!! There's so many mixed reviews, but I am happy to try this brand out, a great inexpensive way to learn how to use air dry clay. Apparently Das brand is one of the best, but even then, mixed reviews!! I'm thinking I'd like to try and make my own homemade clay, paper or something else. I'll have to experiment. Thanks so much for watching!! Happy crafting 🤗💖

[@pdmullgirl]

Hi Donna! I always just love the things you make. Everything is so delicate and pretty. I’ve never dried flowers in the microwave either but seeing how’s yours turned out, I’ve gotta try! So pretty. I enjoyed the video my dear. Thanks ❤️💜💚

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you so much! You will have to try the flower technique, it's so cool to see what happens!! Thanks so much for watching and for your sweet words, I truly appreciate it. Take care 🤗💕🌿

I just stumbled on to your Mystery Box Challenge from 3 years ago. Would love to see you do more. I follow Whitney, Courtney, Shannon, and Kelly Barlow's Mystery box Challenges and they are amazing.

[@creartivebynature]

Hey Nancy. Sorry for the delayed response. I had a family event that I planned and hosted, so I was quite busy. Ya, I know about the challenge. I think it's an invite only collab. I will have to see if anyone else is up for it. It's fun to do, I love the challenge of taking something unusual and transforming it. I'll put my thinking cap on 😉 Thanks for the suggestion and for the encouragement 💖💖💖🤗

[@lisaogg6337]

I sure appreciate you showing us all a quick way to dry flowers, It's wonderful. Everything you made today is absolutely beautiful!! I love it all.❤💙❤ Take care and God Bless y'all always

[@creartivebynature]

Ya, game changer as far as pressed flowers goes. Great if you need some in a pinch 😉 Thanks so much for watching and always being so kind 🥰 My daughter and I have always said how sweet you are!! Thank you💖💖💖

Loved the trinket tray. My daughter likes Creative Paper Clay. Have you ever tried it? It is available on Amazon or we bought it at Michaels. Martha Stewart is the one who put us on to it. Nancy

[@creartivebynature]

No, I haven't heard of it. I do want to try paper clay, making it from scratch perhaps?!? I'll have to look into it further. Thanks for letting me know about it. I'll check Amazon😉 Thanks for watching Nancy 💖🤗

[@douglasmcbryan3705]

If you google Martha Stewart 22 of Our most memorable hand made Christmas ornaments, you can see the project my daughter made. It is #2 on the list, paper clay botanical ornaments. I think you would like making them. Nancy

[@creartivebynature]

@@douglasmcbryan3705 oh that's awesome!! I'll check it out. Thanks Nancy!!

[@creartivebynature]

@@douglasmcbryan3705 Wow, Nancy!! They are beautiful. Your daughter is very talented!!!
