In reply to Sabra. You must use pressed flowers or fresh flowers will go brown. Some pressed leaves or flowers may brown in direct sunlight so keep them placed out of direct sunlight.

This is self laminating paper – so just sticky paper, no heat involved 🙂

Hi,
It is quite easy and suitable for young kids, specially for summer holidays.

Hi! I love this idea! I am a former preschool teacher and daycare owner, and now have great nieces and nephews as well as my grandbabies at home with me quite a bit. I am always looking for new craft ideas to surprise their parents with for special occasions. I think I am going to try this one, but with a twist…I am going to try to put a small photo in the center of flowers, and put the entire project in a 5×7 picture frame. I will try to remember post a pic.

In reply to Michelle McCorkle. Agree, not too thick and you may need to run the circles through a couple of times to seal as many flowers as possible. My suggestion: Run a full sheet with the 2 circles marked (flowers inside), cut the circles then feed each circle through turning the circle each feed (into the laminator). Last, leave a little un-flower edge around the circles edge to seal the circle itself.

In reply to Ana.

I don’t see why not – just don’t put in direct sunlight or the sun may fade the flowers really quickly.
