Abigail, thank you so much! Have been searching using 2 pieces of glass all afternoon. And finally, here YOU are! Fixin' to try! I have all kinds of leaves pressed in books, anywhere from a year old to over 20 years old. You have given me the inspiration to use them in this way! Thanx again! 😁

[@KJ-kv7of]

Plants should be pressed for at least a week to help it maintain color and shape

[@taylorthecreaator]

if anyone is from australia the reject shop has these frames and they actually come with two pieces of glass with no backing!! so you can skip the foam step

[@ejdevonne5799]

Hey do you have the link to the product? :)

[@consciousevolution6575]

the herbalist in me is scrreaming... parchirment paper...30 minutes,,,,,nonono

[@Wolfmaedchen]

30 Minutes? Why not do it properly? If you leave them in the books for about 2 weeks, they will get fully dried and wont change color or start molding..

[@yafichannel]

I was wondering how long leaf color last in resin.

[@Angie-et5gq]

Why not kindly tell her instead of being a dipshit about it? She might’ve not known that.

[@Wolfmaedchen]

Angie how was I being a “dipshit”? I care a lot about politeness in the Internet and cannot find anything offensive about my comment^^

[@pyrrhonist9879]

Angie what are you talking about? 😂 he was asking legitimate questions with no ill-intent. You’re trippin

[@marlizaheyrana2628]

Im sure ul hve a nice pc of art for a moment coz tht will surely mold coz stil fresh

[@AtulyaPaul]

True. The leaves have to be kept inside the book for at least one or two weeks so that they fully dry out.

[@emilywillms9607]

how do you keep them from changing color? press them longer?

[@ixiBLANKK]

Idk why i clicked this thinking that you painted on the glass for the frame 😂 i was like damn that’s some nice painting and as soon as i saw the plants i was like oh lol

[@janellekm]

Hi, thanks for sharing this with us and hello from Queensland Australia. I have heaps of ferns and now thanks to you I have been inspired to do this with them 😊

[@AtticBuilds]

These look really beautiful, gotta go buy me some picture frames and start making them. Thank you for sharing, just subscribed.

[@user-sj5cv8gq8z]

Hello, I drew on a large and real leaf. I want to preserve the leaf and the drawing so that it does not crumble and break. How do you do it? Thank you for the creative, painterly and illustrative artistic answer

[@bukulnarzary8037]

for 30 mins pressed how many days does it lust until moisture destroy them??

[@xizzypoisongirlx]

Mine went moldy within a week :(

[@catalinvillela5397]

Love the soundtrack music

[@jackbrown5311]

Looks so cool!

[@jazmin4021]

I'm gonna do this but I don't have frames so I'm going to use tape and make post cards and other stuff with it

[@GinaAyyoub]

thank you, I've been looking for a video like this!

[@darlenescott5213]

If the flowers/leafs aren’t dry wont they mold in in the frame from moisture

[@ashleyjadejupiter]

love this idea 😍😍😍😍

[@AbigailJaneee]

thanks girly 😊

[@lakshaytyagi1333]

Is that blotting paper?

[@bwithme5033]

Wouldn't they become dull?

[@mariatakalo4371]

Do they eventually die off?

[@annaasmr6533]

Maria Takalo no

[@dallasmcdougal3773]

They will, yeah. She didn't press them for very long or use UV resistant glass. The remaining moisture may cause some issues and they will fade in color relatively quickly. Still nice and pretty and simple, though.

[@gloreicelfarnacio1978]

I have a collection of dried flowers ,mostly roses, some are 6 years dried some are years, some are months I wanna know how can i preserve them for a years

[@madelgalve3707]

[@amyyu9276]

[@TischenkoSergei]

Я думал в Америке книги для чтения. А так использовать. Не знал.

love it I would try it for sure 😍

[@karenweber8893]

nice

[@missenderdragon2551]

girl, you are talking about something you don't know nothing about....☝️.... what about color changing, rotting, molding.....

[@Angie-et5gq]

You can kindly voice that without being a douche. It’s called advice.

[@missenderdragon2551]

@@Angie-et5gq mind your own business... it is advice....

[@bronxraingee8050]

Too cute. Thx for sharing

[@minimukherjee3]

what paper?

[@hotrodhog2170]

Parchment paper, also known as wax paper

[@arorasuneet]

Can we also use butter paper, because wax paper is not available in my area?

[@tuckerphillips8274]

Hotrod Hog parchment paper is slightly different than wax paper. But for this use, it shouldn’t matter

[@gillian13100]

this is rubbish ! Leaves need weeks to dry not 30 mins
