Petals & Thread {Pressed Flower Collages}

Before Summer slips away, be sure to gather a few stems of pretty flowers (thin flowers work best) and press them between the pages of some heavy, old books. I gathered some earlier in the Summer...Forget-Me-Nots, Twinleaf, Pink Shinleaf, and more...and after a few weeks of pressing, they were ready for crafting.

To make an interesting collage, all you need then is a little bit of craft glue and some good cardstock paper and whatever other bits of crafty things you have on hand...such as rick rack or ribbon, rub-ons, pretty paper, and perhaps even thread to sew directly onto the cardstock the name of your flower specimen.
