Thank you for this tutorial Nina, I've learned a few new things. I have probably been crafting since before you were born but the wonderful thing about crafting is there is always something new to be learned and take our projects to a new height keeping us coming back for more and in our own works leaving us amazed yet leads us to ask ourselves, "what if?". This was fun. TYFS, Donna, in California.

Hi Nina! I've tried drying some leaves after having watched your video. I did not have that kind of paper, so I used a watercolor sheet, laid out the leaves and covered them with hairspray, and solution of boiling leaves with salt and vinegar. I pressed them and ironed them and got dried leaves plus eco dyed pages. I will show them on the facebook group.Thanks so much. take care! hugs.

Beautiful!! They remind me of antique botanical prints. I dried some Queen Anne's lace, to paint (or not) to insert in my resin jewelry. I love dried flowers..!!

These are gorgeous, Nina. I like them very much. I have had a go at 'refreshing' faded dried flowers with watercolours - not particularly successfully - so I will definitely try alcohol markers now. Great tip. Many thanks as ever.

as always you've given me more ideas on what to do with dried flowers...you and your videos are the best...I don't know if you have tried ironing the flowers once all the glue has dried completely...I tried this recently and I love the texture and how it flattens everything out ...one can use parchment paper on top of any decoupaged items and iron with a hot dry iron...I use a heat resistant vinyl which is semi opaque so I can see my items underneath...love your videos...
