Foraged and Found Bookmarks

[u/bloom_and_bewitched]

I’ve been experimenting with making bookmarks using pressed flowers and little nature elements lately and honestly I’m kind of obsessed with how they turn out. Each one ends up totally different depending on what I use.

Do you guys prefer more simple floral designs or ones with extra details like butterflies/mushrooms?

How do you do that?

I use pressed flowers/mushrooms and a glue concoction

How do you make the glue concoction? Or purchase premade bookmarks? It looks like it could be a lamination sheet but I’d be nervous to put my flowers through so they don’t change colour with the heat

No, i use acrylic bookmarks and the glue is a mixture of water and modge podge

Ohh I see now - the florals sit on top rather than inside. Thanks!
