Which standard

One way to avoid fading is to keep the pressed flowers away from sunlight. The pigments will naturally fade as the plant dries, so we suggest selecting a vibrant bloom.

@@meijergardens tq for sharing...can we use normal papers? I tried using normal papers with leaves, but leaves got faded..😣 pls help me? 😭

I have read that several sealant types have uv the uv protection to help keep the flowers from fading. They also mean that moisture wouldn't be able to get at the flower once dried. If you look up sealing pressed flowers you can find comparisons on types, their advantages and disadvantages.

@@khaxjc1 tq for the information...🙂👍

If you are looking to add a whole pressed flower to homemade paper, we think that would work! You would prepare the paper as you normally would, lightly set it into the paper, and let everything dry. We have not tried this before - so if you do, we'd love to hear how it goes for you!

@@meijergardens yes I had to be very careful inserting the flowers in the pulp without ruining the paper so it wouldn't have holes. It really helps placing them in the water right before taking the filter out with both pulp and flowers in it. Remember no to use big ones since it represents more weight. Thank you for your help

yes

We would not recommend tissue paper - parchment paper is made to handle the heat from the iron!

Maybe I should finish the video before asking questions 🤦🏽‍♀️ yes it will work

No steam!

Tells you at the start of the video you can use coffee filters!

They are different but I believe both will do the job because it’s mostly about protecting the flower from its surrounding during the pressing/drying stage

@@carlgrimeseyepatch27 hi! Thank you so much for your response( ╹▽╹ )

@@allialli4406 of course!! I used parchment paper myself to press my best friends wedding flowers and I will be checking on them soon and can give an update hopefully!

@@carlgrimeseyepatch27 How did it turn out?

We have not used this before, but if the paper can have heat directly applied to it then it may be an option. We recommend parchment paper.

Try sealing the flowers with a collage glue or a spray fixative

Thank You @@helengrunow5094 I'll try this ❣️

It is because of the reaction of the flower towards the resin.

@@kristinamasaya5512 do you know how to avoid it?.. and how can I store my dried flower?

@@Phia_Sophea look up “Artsy Madwoman” I believe she’s talked about “slower curing resins” and how to use a different kind of resin for flowers

I found a video about it.. Before putting your dried flowers, use clear paint/spray paint or clear varnish to seal it so the colors won't spread on your resin

Same question!

I think the sunflower heads might be too large. But you could definitely press the petals.

We agree - you could definitely press the petals from a sunflower! It would be a fun opportunity to create a unique design.
