How to Apply Pressed Flowers to Glass
Pressed flowers are dried and flattened blossoms that can be arranged into various compositions to create beautiful displays. A common way that you can use your pressed floras is to encase them between glass squares to create items like glass coasters. Using simple craft supplies and your ready-made botanical, you can easily attach the pressed flowers to the glass and create a truly distinct and eye-catching piece.
