dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last weeks :)

[@lucianokyson5012]

@Rory Waylon definitely, been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)

I have to say you are my favorite Junk Journal artist. Last weekend I had my 5 yr old grandson over and he loves to pick flowers for his mom. Well he forgot to take the lilacs and I had a phone book (with hard cover!) and decided to throw them in and see what happened. I couldn't believe how wonderful they look but didn't know what to do with them. So nice of you to do a video for me (lol) Thank you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Yaaay hahaha Gail thank you SO much!!!

[@janellej1]

So wish I dried some of my lilacs this spring, they're my favorite but all done now.

[@fayecook9171]

I love the inclusion of pressed leaves/flowers in journals ,it adds something special to the journal

[@TreasureBooks]

Totally agree Faye! Thank you for watching and commenting :)

[@crossmyheartdailydevotiona9756]

Thank you so much for this video. You are so inspiring and creative.

[@berylleferal7686]

Another awesome idea for unique embellishments, thankyou. What I like most about your videos is u give alternative ways of making each item for those who do and don't sew. Excellent advice

But you sure have inspired me to get out there and gather mother nature's beauty. Thank you so much and have a happy day!

Thank you Heather!!

[@melangegirl]

I love this video Natasa. I will be collecting the next few days while the blooms are fresh. Thank you for providing options also.

[@susankayej88]

I thoroughly enjoyed this, much appreciated. I still have the autum leaf that I picked up the day my now 22 year old grandson was born. I have the original stored in a plastic document sleeve and also scanned the leaf on the computer. I also have a pressed rose that my husband gave me over forty years again and way back then I pressed it and once dried enclosed it between clear contact layers. Thankyou for the trip down memory lane and for the inspiration to save flowers and foliage more often now. Best wishes from Australia :)

[@TreasureBooks]

Aahhh so beautiful! So precious that you have those ❤️❤️. Thank you for your comment my fellow Aussie 😊

The recipe book I'm making for my daughter will be a nature theme. I'm currently drying some purple wild flowers. They have been between paper towels and in a book for about a week now, I didn't actually know what I was going to do to preserve them. But now I do!! Thank you! And I am also going to bring in some of the flowers I just recently potted. Impatiens, marigolds, vinca, mandevilla, geraniums....the list goes on...lol Thanks so much for your wonderful videos! Hugs!💕~Suzy~

Great now I can use my laminator and my zyron laminator... I've been drying plants for a long time great use for them.

[@adirondackErin]

So pretty!

[@lynne3124]

You can laminate without a laminator. Put cloth over the acetate and leaves or image, then slowly iron over, no steam. Tried it and it worked.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thats great to know! Thank you

ohh i thought you were gonna show us how you made them - anyway i think I can try - they look simple- they are absolutely gorgeous

[@Susanna79.]

They look gorgeous! I bet you could mod podge them or put a coat of varnish too

[@TreasureBooks]

Yes abolutely!! Paula Foerder actually has a video on how she ads dried flowers to her pages, and thats exactly how she does it! Check it out

[@Susanna79.]

Treasure Books sounds cool will do 💜

[@alamelue7806]

Thank you . It is wonderful idea. I have flower collection during my latest trip. Now you taught me how to display. I also have a habit of collecting sea shells and soil and sand. If you have an idea to display please share it

[@TreasureBooks]

Hmmm soil and sand would look cool in those little vial bottles. If you can get really tiny ones, and if you make journals, they can be attached to the spine as a charm :)

[@natwilliams]

Thanks Natasa - this is so informative!!! I have heaps of contact and definitely will be trying this :)

[@LILRHONDALEE]

Luv this demonstration and your tips. Fantastic and fun! TFS xo

[@Kayenne54]

I've got rose-lemon scented geranium growing wild in my garden. Thinking it may be better to let this kind of leaf dry a little? as they're a little moist...? They would make any journal smell beautiful though.

[@alamelue7806]

Thank you

[@janellej1]

Who was it'd that you mention shows how to dry flowers? Thanks!

[@londawhitt6841]

👍😊

[@terryt.1643]

I am thinking I could press some flowers with their names and attach them to seed packets with a few of those seeds in them. It might encourage children to start gardening. 🥰

Where was the contact paper example? I seemed to have missed that one. Got a time tag to help me find it?

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Just lovely!! How do you press your flowers and leaves? Thank you in advance! 💜

[@TreasureBooks]

My mum gave me the pressed flowers, and the leaves I didn't press. But I would just pop them in a book and then weigh down with more books.

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Treasure Books Thank you! 💜

[@AbiNomac]

Where in Australia did you find the large brown leaf? It is very beautiful.

[@TreasureBooks]

What is that? My mum actually gave me a box of dried flowers, and some of them are 20 years old!! Some may have been from overseas. I googled 'large brown left' but I'm none the wiser. I am so grateful to get my hands on some of these amazing dried flowers!

[@AbiNomac]

Treasure Books - Thank you. I’ll do a search too and see what I come up with. If I find it I’ll let you know. God bless.

[@beautybug1831]

BTW, you can purchas matte laminating pouches that you can easily write on (at least, I've tried writing with a simple HB pencil, that means you can erase it as well)

Love ur amazing stash of dried pressed flowers/leaves Recently I've started to dry some flowers & all kinds of leaves inside my vintage books 😆💕 #nofusssolution 📚 I'm having a great time doing it! However... Do you have any tips for me how to store the leaves/flowers once they're dry? After all, I'd like to make room in the books for new flowers 🤗 #thepressedflowerjunkie Thx a lot, Liat

[@TreasureBooks]

Sure my mum gave me a box of dried flowers. Some up to 20 years old. They were stored in envelopes. One type of flower in one envelope (Not a separate envelope for each flower, but rather all same types bundled in there together.) And the system works, they are still flat in those envelopes and they stay intact. I hope this helps!

[@beautybug1831]

@@TreasureBooks Really?! I will try the envelope system (I was worried the leaves would crumble once I store them) 🍁🍂 They look so crisp 😆 and so delicate... Thx, again, for your quick (and helpful) comment 🙆💕 Have a fabulous weekend! XXX

[@jammaarts1585]

Do you have any advice for me? I have tried to do press flowers but I live in a very humid part of the United States and even after the flowers are dried they still turn brown because of the humidity. I haven’t tried laminating them tho.

[@meravalterman]

Do you sew by hand ?

Contact paper will come apart at the edges if you dont leave an edge where the contact paper conatacts itself. Just fyi.

Correct.
