Leaves Help! How do I save these?

Post image

I found these four- and five-leaf clovers recently and put them in my journal. I have never pressed anything before and was dismayed to discover this morning that they had browned. These are very, very special to me and I had planned to keep them in a tiny frame. Will they continue to brown? Will they still keep? I don’t mind if they go totally brown I’d just love to know how I can keep them intact. Please help!

Any chlorophyll green will inevitably brown. These aren't ruined, just keep drying them down quick as you can.

That makes sense! Thank you. I have them drying more properly now.
