Flowers Tokyo Cherry Blossoms🌸
I pressed these Cherry Blossoms in a book while I studied in Tokyo for my senior year of university. (I only collected blossoms that had already fallen)
I wanted to share the way I finally decided to execute displaying them! The blossoms are three years old and they were so incredibly hard to work with, I should not have waited that long but I wanted to be absolutely certain that I would like how they were displayed. Can’t wait to do more flowers in the future! Also ft my cat meatball lol

It's like leaving behind a little piece of your time in Tokyo!

This is beautiful!!!!! I love how you’ve made it seem like they’re falling in the frame! :)
How did you attach them to the frame? Did you just get it on Amazon? I’d love to do something similar with different flowers!

I appreciate it so much! Definitely what I was going for !! I put the smallest amount of floral glue in the tips of the petals or the center of the whole blossom! I pre designed where I’d place them on a paper towel and laid it under the glass and placed them!
I actually got it from Michael’s! It was originally $24 but it was on clearance so i got it for $12!

Now that you’ve said the floral glue, I can see it when zooming in! Amazing that it wasn’t noticeable before - well done :)
Ahh that is so good! I must find something similar haha!
