Ten tips and techniques for making pressed flower crafts

[@Gothlite-i1l]

Very interesting and beautiful. Is it just the sound on my computer or is the background music a little overwhelming?

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

Hi Rachelle, the music may be a little overwhelming. Two years ago I was just getting my feet wet on KZbin and was not too savvy on all of the techniques. I hope you were able to follow along with the captions. I work at improving my channel and videos every day. Thankyou for your thoughtful feedback.

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

Hello! I am so happy that I found your channel! I had watched someone else working with pressed flowers, but her method was too fussy for me. Please turn down your music; sometimes I can’t hear what you are saying! Thank you so much!

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll continue to work on improving my channel. Much appreciated.

How did the matting turn out?

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

The matting gives it a more finished professional look. I like to look for thrifted frames that already have the mat in it. They can also be purchased on Amazon, and at stores that offer framing for a more custom look.

my paper kind of curls up - any tips to avoid this? thank you

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

Use card stock and apply a very thin coating of modpodge. It sounds like your glue may be too wet or too thick or your paper is too thin. Please let me know if this helps. Good luck.
