Daily Idea #158: Pressed Flower Bookmark

I know it seems like it was forever ago, but remember those flowers we put aside for pressing? For today’s daily idea we are turning those flowers into bookmarks!

Items you’ll need:

1) pressed flowers

2) rectangular thick paper (card stock or water color paper is best) cut to about 2”X4”

3) a liquid glue of some sort (ModPodge or Elmer’s)

4) small paint brush

Warning— Handle the pressed flowers with care as they like to crumble when handled too roughly.

Take your pressed flowers out and carefully arrange them on the blank bookmark. When you are satisfied with the way it looks, remove each flower one by one and paint glue on the book mark in the place of the flower. Then replace the flower on that spot in the glue. Once you have all your flowers replaced and glued down wait for it to dry. Once that first set has dried use the paint brush to carefully cover the whole bookmark with a thin layer of glue and let it dry. And of course, enjoy using your bookmark!
