OMG I never knew that. That’s crazy!!! Totally adding it as a per-caution to the blog post. Thank you! 😀 😀

No no, don’t use any brick, especially if it’s been wet recently. Ever been camping and thought you put a dry rock in the fire only for it to explode? Water trapped in rocks/bricks will start to boil and create pressure and explode. Be careful!

Hi Tara, thank you so much. so I tried to lay the pedals all in one direction as long as they’re not fanning out when your laying them out to dry. Once you apply the brick on top it’ll squeeze them flat and that should also help keep the pedals in tact.

How did you get the petals to fan out on the smaller pink and purple flowers without them breaking off after they were dried?

Love the tutorial and thanks for sharing!

Thank you 😀 😀 I am so glad to hear you liked it.

Hi Lin, I removed all the backing from the frame and once I displayed my flowers on the glass and put another piece of glass over it I simply used hot glue and secured the glass to the frame all around the edges. Hope this make sense. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

It really depends on the flower. I have flowers that were purple and yellow and the color still look very vibrant but I did a few pink flowers and those have faded quite a bit.

Hi, I’m so glad to hear you liked this idea. Are you referring to a microwave oven?
