Thicker, sturdier flowers<br><br>and plants are easier and quicker to dry. Flowers with thinner petals are a<br><br>little more tricky because they tend to have a lot of moisture which will make<br><br>them stick to your cardboard. They look beautiful in your frame though because<br><br>they become translucent. Because they\u2019re very delicate, be gentle with them.<br><br>Using tweezers could help so they don\u2019t break.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E;\">Pressing flowers usually takes at least a week but they do produce the<br><br>best results. Here\u2019s a hack for you though: place the flowers into a heavy book<br><br>as you usually would and place it into the microwave. Microwave it 4 or 5 times<br><br>in 30-second bursts, with a short interval in-between. This will dry it out in<br><br>a matter of minutes!<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E;\">Make sure the glue you\u2019re using dries clear. Only use a very little bit<br><br>or it will show through when your frame is held up in the light. If you can\u2019t<br><br>find glue, little pieces of double-sided tape is a good alternative.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span
