When I was living in Vietnam, the humid weather makes it hard to dry flowers and they often ended up molded. But in the UK it only takes me 2 days for my flowers to dry. Gonna make a bunch to keep as memories

Love the book method. Can you use card stock paper instead of construction paper?

@sundaysunshine Жыл бұрын

Hi there! You can definitely try, if you put a drop of water onto the card stock and it seems to absorb fairly quickly then it should work! Card stock is nice, thick and texture free so it's a good option if it absorbs!

Did you just arrange the white petals from the rose from biggest to smallest and then glue them together?

@sundaysunshine Жыл бұрын

Yes I did! I find that it looks more natural that way but it's all up to you!

@riannahosein2235 Жыл бұрын

How did you get the white color of the rose to maintain so well?

@sundaysunshine Жыл бұрын

For the rose in the video I pressed it petal by petal and used the best ones to reconstruct the rose. I've noticed that pressing petal by petal ensures that the color of the flower lasts, but it can be very time consuming. Since I don't color enhance my flowers, they will change colors naturally and that's just part of the process that I embrace! I hope this helps!

@@sundaysunshine Also, what you mean by reconstructing the rose using the best ones. Prior to that you said you pressed it petal by petal. I would live to see THAT demo. Thank you.

@sundaysunshine Жыл бұрын

@@irmasanchez5274 Hi! A workshop sounds exciting! Pressing petal by petal means to take the flower apart and press each part of the flower separately. Then once it's completely dry to reconstruct the flower. You can see this in action around the 3:00 mark in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6yYa5qoqMjZkY0.html&ab_channel=SundaySunshine

How do I know if should change my paper or page in my book?

@sundaysunshine 8 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for the question! Once your flowers are being pressed you can check on them once in a while. If you notice that the paper has become stained and a bit soggy, it's an indication that you should change out the paper. When it doubt it doesn't hurt to put your flowers in between fresh paper/fabric. Hope this helps!

Hi can we use these flowers in resin?

Once the flowers are fully dried you can use them in resin projects!

How do I know when it's completely dried out using the book method?

@sundaysunshine Жыл бұрын

It's perfectly okay to carefully open the book to check on your flowers. When you can gently run your finger across all parts of the flower smoothly like running your finger across a page in the book, then your flowers are most likely done!

I have a question. How do you pressed flowers with thick stalk

@sundaysunshine 2 ай бұрын

I find that cutting the stem or stalk in half helps alot! I also encourage you to take the flower apart and press thick parts of the flowers on the same layer in the press! You can learn the basics here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jq-EnKh8lsCohIk.htmlfeature=shared

I used white construction paper in the video. I've used regular printer paper and cotton fabric in the flower press as well, and those have worked out well! There are many options!

It’s using alcohol before pressed flowers?

@sundaysunshine Жыл бұрын

Hi! I'm not sure I completely understand your questions, but there is use of alcohol before pressing the flowers.

@sarahferri8088 11 ай бұрын

I tried pressing by using a book and some of the flowers have parts on the petals that turned brown. Does this mean its going moldy? Will it keep if I use it for a card?

@sundaysunshine 11 ай бұрын

Browning doesn't always mean moldy. Keep an eye on it and see if the browning spreads and turns into mold, but if the browning stays the same then it's just discolored and up to your personal preference if you want to use or not! Hope this helps!
