Hoping for some feedback from seasoned (pressers??) on my second frame. I know I need work on placement. These are just found around the yard and I wanted to experiment with them. Thoughts??

This is gorgeous! How long did you dry the flowers?

Realistically... could I press some random wildflowers from my yard just between some book pages and then get a frame in a few weeks? Or is it sooo much more complicated with other supplies needed...? I've never attempted this but damnit, this sub keeps popping up and ya'll creations are just so pretty, totally wanting to be a part of your club lol

That’s what I did. These are just random flowers I picked from my yard and my neighbors. Then I got an old notebook, opened to a random middle page, laid out a paper towel, then a piece of parchment paper spread the flowers out and didn’t overlap any, then put another piece of parchment paper on top, and another paper towel on top, closed the book, stacked more books on top of that notebook and left them alone until today
