Why I love this craft
Pressed flowers on a vase makes for a super cute decor piece that can be used in many ways. I love how mine turned out and it wasn’t too hard to make. I did, however, learn a few things which I’ll share more about below.
What is the best way to apply pressed flowers to glass?
You’ll notice in the tutorial video that I attempted to use mod podge to attach the pressed flower but it wasn’t working like I imagined it would. As a replacement, I started using small dabs of hot glue, which is why I always recommend having a fine tip hot glue gun in your craft stash.
Also, when it comes to actually flattening the flowers, the longer you leave them pressed between the books the better.
