Pressed Flowers Autumn Decor

Dear Friends, thank you for hanging in there for me as I continue you my clinical trial. I pray I will be back to posting more often in the new year.  Meanwhile as I sit with my tea in hand and look out the window, it seems that winter has arrived. We hopped right over autumn!  Lets bring a little bit of autumn into our homes, and I’ll ignore the snow outside (smile)

Have you ever tucked leaves or flowers into the pages of a book?  I haven’t done it in years but I do remember my delight in re-discovering them. Fond memories come from a crisp autumn morning walk. Or from a day spent collecting wildflowers. These moments are perfectly preserved between the pages of a book.

How To Press Flowers and Leaves Using a Book

• I select a hard cover book, and go to the center of the book. (if you think you’ll be pressing flowers on a regular basis. Select one book to use every time.)
• Line a book page with parchment paper
• Place the flowers and leaves onto the parchment.
• Put another piece of parchment on top of the leaves and flowers.
• Close the book.
• Place other books or a heavy object on top and store in a warm dry place.
• They should be ready to use in about six weeks.

With that in mind, I’m sharing some lovely pressed flowers and leaves to add autumn to your home decor.
