Answer #1

Can you give us an idea of what you have tried? What we did as children was put roses and other flowers in very thick books to press them, it worked fine then.

Answer #2

When I did that the color of the flower always got on the book pagse so i tried wrapping it in a napikan then pressing it in a book but then the napikan stuck to the pages of the book. My sister told me to dry out the flower bu hanging it upside down first then pressing them in a book but the peddals fell off when I tried that

Answer #3

Try rice paper instead of a napkin. That should prevent it from sticking to the pages. It won’t help if you dry it out first because then the pedals should break off.
