Brings back memories from leaf collection projects in my childhood. Tfs

wow what an easy way to press flowers - I am going to try this

This reminds me of a craft project from my child hood using the wax paper and iron. We'd spread crayon shavings from the Crayola crayon box between wax paper and iron until melted & fused together. Then we'd cut shapes of butterfly's, leaves, dragonflys, flowers etc out. With today's dies - that craft project just might need a re-visit!

Even I should be able to manage this. Thank you, Nina! You are helpful as always!

Oh yes, this brings back memories of pressing my "prom" flowers in a book. Then promptly forgetting them and finding them years and years later when I pulled that book out again. This method is definitely easier! Thanks Nina!

Genius again!! I’m going to the garden, and maybe my neighbors gardens too! Thank you sweetie!!💕

I'm so thrilled to learn about this method! Thank you!

Great info to keep in my noggin for when I have flowers in bloom. TFS Nina

As always great ideas and demo. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.

This idea takes me make to high school when we collected as many wildflowers as we could find (over 100 varieties) and I used this method to dry them then mounted them on individual sheets of poster board with their scientific name printed on it... I still have them 40 years later... I'll look forward to the next video with ideas of what to do with the dried elements... Thanks for sharing!

Oooooo!!! It is Spring here and my garden is blooming......I will be out there first thing in the morning to pick some flowers etc. Thanks Nina, I have always used a book but method is so quick, I will be giving it a try? 😊😊😊

Love the quickness of ironing the petals and leaves..I have never tried that but I shall tomorrow.. thank you Nina..

So lovely. I really do love this season ! TFS !

So simple! Thank you very much!

Wonderful idea! Love this. Will definitely be trying!

Great idea Nina! We camp in the state parks and come across some beautiful leaves that have changed. I will have to give this a try.

Terrific idea, thank you. I've been using the weight of books to press my flowers, but will certainly be trying this out.

Wow,! Definitely giving it a try and letting my friends who love to collect leaves in on this great idea! Thanks, Nina! Hugs, Debra

Certainly going to give this a try 😊thanks so much BRILLIANT 😅

I haven't come across this method before, and it certainly seems to be a time saver! I also have some gorgeous hydrangeas in the garden so might just go and get some and try this out.

I like this technique. Will have to try. Can't wait to see how you use them.

What a great idea. I am the impatient sort also. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the reminder about this technique. It's been years since I did this and I love what you are doing! TFS, Nina!

I love this. I remember doing this as a kid. Thank you for sharing.

Great idea to get pressed flowers done quickly.

What a great method! I used to press flowers in books, but this would be so much faster. Thanks for the info. I'll have to try this! :)

Brilliant technique Nina, will try it out x

I remember putting leaves and flowers in a book when I was little. Thank you for bringing back those happy memories.

Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us! I wlll definitely be trying this..

Great idea, can't wait to try!

These are lovely!

Great idea Nina!

Thank you for sharing this! Love it!

I did this with my children when they were small with fall leaves

What a great idea, Nina. We do have some leaves left, have to try this. Tfs, Fia xx

Great idea, Nina!! Love how these turned out! Hugs Marsha

Beautiful Nina! What a great idea! Thank you! :-)

I’m new to this and absolutely love this method! Thank you so much 💕

I always wanted a flower press myself. But quick is great! Those turned out great. I’ll have to try this when I get back in country!

Love this. I have had an idea for a few weeks that uses flowers, plants etc. in a project and now this is giving me a push to get on it. TFS xoxox Beth :)

Thank you so much Nina great idea 💡. I'm lucky I have a microwave flower 🌺 press and it brilliant for me as I also can't wait 🤣😂😂 so it does it in seconds.

Thank you so much for sharing!! :) Love it.

oh Nina this looks like so much fun to do - quick and easy Yay!!!

What a clever idea! I have been saving flowers for years, inside a huge and quite heavy Russian dictionary! From now on, when feeling impatient or I need it right away, I will have a way to get it done. Also, when wanting a sheet from this book for emphemera, I won't have to worry about flowers and leaves falling out! The heather is absolutely gorgeous!

Oh what a great idea. TFS

Thank you so much for this idea!! I have always wanted to dry flowers, but never could be bothered with the time and space! Thank you so very much for sharing!

Hi Nina! i just finished watching this video. I'm as impatient as you, so I'm going to give it try!. i've got similar leaves here in the Basque Country and last Saturday i picked a bunch of short branches of divers colors and shapes to eco dye. After making floral arrangement to put on a vase , I also left some of leaves and little branches to dry. They did naturally, but schrank. I'm trying to do what you did in your last Sunday's video. thumbs up! Hugs

Cool, thanks for sharing this idea!!

I always keep a stash of dried leaves but I have never done this method. Great idea. Going straight to next video. Thanks. -Marsha from Texas

Definitely going to try. Tyfs

Oh, Nina...thank you so much, at last something to use my iron for lol! I'm going to go out in the garden collecting leaves...as soon as the dog wakes up and gets off me. I even think I've already got some waxed paper so no having to wait for an order to arrive. I'm looking forward to seeing how you use the dried flowers and leaves. Bejay xx

Great ideea Nina! I collect to flowers and lives and for me your idea it's very helpful!TFS Hugs

Great tip, thanks Nina!

My grandmother did this with me when I was young! I had forgotten all about it! Thanks for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories! Hugs xxx

I was so excited to see your video! I adore dried flowers! I would like to try my hand at homemade paper and add small flowers to it. Looking forward to seeing what you create with your beauties!

Oh this sounds like an easy way to dry flowers tfs Nina

What? I had no idea you could do this. Brilliant. Thanks Nina😊

This is so awesome

so much easier than a flower press, thanks :)

Nina, I can't wait to see what you create with these dried flowers and leaves...

Great idea ! Thank you !

Thanks for this great tip.

I’ll look forward to the projects you use your flowers and leaves in

awesome idea, look forward to seeing what you create using these :)

Who knew..thank you will try that soon

great idea x

Hi Nina, I have only just found your videos and it was on my TV Utube funnily enough. I saw your lovely journals that are recent and looked up your videos, Wow, they are so brilliant I am so pleased that I found you. I used to go to Hereford shopping often but alas not at the moment. Fantastic ideas you really explain things so well. Thank you so much, I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I live just outside Abergavenny. Love Lita

Wow... I have to try this technique... Thanks Nina :)

Brilliant idea! Off to do some ironing.....!xx

o, I love fall, spring time in Oz so got a flower press and cant wait to try that

Brilliant idea Nina! I haven't seen this one before - I have tried the microwave, which works pretty well also. I will give the iron a go with some of the new Spring flowers from my garden. Tfs Hugs, Ginny xo :o)

Great tip. TY, Nina.

Great idea, I have a Japanese maple nicely turning colour and will do it today.

Love your turquoise ring

Lovely idea. Tfs.

Great idea thanks for sharing.

Terrific! Need to give it a go! TYFS 💜🦋❤️

This was great! Thank You!

Great idea! I have to try this...I'm so impatient with drying flowers. Tfs

This is a lovely idea, I’ll have to try this. Tfs Marina :)

This is great idea.

Very clever! I think the hydrangeas are my favorite.

I have always wanted to do this!!!🌸🌸

I liked the video You are so undernated

I've been looking for silica sand for drying leaves. All I can find is silica gel. The gel is like bb's. It leaves lumps in your leaves. I thought about ironing them between fabric and spraying them with fabric starch, but instead, I'm going to try your method. It looks great. Wish me luck.

Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing!!! xo

I like that idea. I tried to preserve some fall leaves by putting gel medium on them and letting them dry. They fell apart and I had to throw them away. I will give this a try. Thanks for the idea.

Very cool, and you have pretty pieces. 😃

Thank you, great idea.

Yep LOVE THIS IDEA👌

Hi Nina I love your videos and thanks for uploading,love the accent too😀

Thank you!

Thank you so much

Great idea

Great top! Ty!

Great idea my dear friend!!! Isn't nature magnificent with all its elements??? Gorgeous leaves!! Huge hugs and kisses!!!

Good idea!

I need to fish my Microfleur out of storage - thank you for reminding me what a fun project flower pressing can be.

Love what you have collected and I will be trying out your way to secure the dried sprigs onto card (part 2 video). I have an even quicker method that may be of interest - it's a Microfleur microwave flower press. I did some lavender sprigs taking 30-60 seconds! The original Microfleur is still available but expensive nowadays. I see there are cheaper options but no idea how effective they are. Love all your videos.

Hello Nina :) Great tip :) I will have to try this :) tfs, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
