I have two daisies from my grandmother's funeral that I pressed in tissue between the pages of my Bible. Now that they are flat and dry, I want to preserve them in some sort of display that I can enjoy. What is a good way to keep them from falling apart and keep them in a nice box or something so I can see them?
How can I preserve pressed flowers?
Here's an idea....
They sell picture frames at Walmart that sandwich the photo betweet two peices of glass before inserting into the frame. It gives the picture a "floating" look. You should do a picture of you and your grandma together with the flowers on opposite corners of the photo. You may want to use a little tape for this to keep the picture in place to the back peice of glass to hold it firm so that it doesn't slide around. It'll keep the flowers as you pressed them and allow you to have a hanging "memorial" to someone you loved....
Reply:I don't have a better answer than anyone else here, I just wanted to compliment you for wanting to preserve the flowers. That's love.

Reply:You could try laminating them in a shop and use them as a book mark.
As they are delicate, use low heat, and run them through the laminating machine several times; instead of high heat and once.
Reply:spray them with hair spray and let them dry.
