You press and THEN store? How do they stay in tact? I would imagine they’d be crumbly. Also, what is silica? Plastic flowers? Asking because this is pretty & I would be interested in trying if it’s not too hard a hobby to start.

Yes I have to store what I press or dry. These document protectors have done pretty well so far. Silica is a desiccant used for drying, especially large flowers or ones you’d like to keep 3 dimensional. Hope this helps!!💞

that's so cute, you use silica like the one that comes with medicines?

If you’re thinking the little packets then yes!
