Hi, today I want to share with you how I found a way to preserve some of summer's beauty all year round by preserving some blooms from my gardens. Over at the Arnold Grummer blog where I am a Designer I made this project to show their great Flower Press. I am after all, an avid gardener in addition to being an avid maker of all things! LOL! I used some Deco-Page from Deco-Arts (thanks to Tracy at Deco-Arts) to glue and seal those pretty blooms to a plain candle I already owned.
Here is the before:
Now here is the after:
The press, and the flowers I pressed two weeks earlier:
I applied one coat of Deco-Page to use as the glue before I applied the flowers. I applied a second coat over the flowers to seal them in. I applied a third and final coat just to make sure everything was sealed in tight.
Supplies:
Flower Press provided by Arnold Grummer
Deco-Page provided by Deco-Art
candle (from my stash)
flowers (from my garden)
