When I was living in Vietnam, the humid weather makes it hard to dry flowers and they often ended up molded. But in the UK it only takes me 2 days for my flowers to dry. Gonna make a bunch to keep as memories

@sundaysunshine 2 месяца назад

Yay!! So happy you found success!! Thank you for sharing!

@beckymckee8156 Год назад

Love the book method. Can you use card stock paper instead of construction paper?

@sundaysunshine Год назад

Hi there! You can definitely try, if you put a drop of water onto the card stock and it seems to absorb fairly quickly then it should work! Card stock is nice, thick and texture free so it's a good option if it absorbs!

@lachellelawson1987 Год назад

Did you just arrange the white petals from the rose from biggest to smallest and then glue them together?

@sundaysunshine Год назад

Yes I did! I find that it looks more natural that way but it's all up to you!

@CABby448 8 месяцев назад

How do I know if should change my paper or page in my book?

@sundaysunshine 8 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for the question! Once your flowers are being pressed you can check on them once in a while. If you notice that the paper has become stained and a bit soggy, it's an indication that you should change out the paper. When it doubt it doesn't hurt to put your flowers in between fresh paper/fabric. Hope this helps!

@riannahosein2235 Год назад

How did you get the white color of the rose to maintain so well?

@sundaysunshine Год назад

For the rose in the video I pressed it petal by petal and used the best ones to reconstruct the rose. I've noticed that pressing petal by petal ensures that the color of the flower lasts, but it can be very time consuming. Since I don't color enhance my flowers, they will change colors naturally and that's just part of the process that I embrace! I hope this helps!

@riannahosein2235 Год назад

Thank you 😊

@irmasanchez5274 Год назад

@@sundaysunshine Hello, thank uou very much for this video. I plan to use some of this information to create and present a workshop Can you please clarify what you mean by pressing the rose petal by petal? I you noticed that rose came out exceptionally well. Thank ypu.

@irmasanchez5274 Год назад

@@sundaysunshine Also, what you mean by reconstructing the rose using the best ones. Prior to that you said you pressed it petal by petal. I would live to see THAT demo. Thank you.

@sundaysunshine Год назад

@@irmasanchez5274 Hi! A workshop sounds exciting! Pressing petal by petal means to take the flower apart and press each part of the flower separately. Then once it's completely dry to reconstruct the flower. You can see this in action around the 3:00 mark in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AFh87wCbuaY.html&ab_channel=SundaySunshine

@fizamalik9671 11 месяцев назад

Hi can we use these flowers in resin?

@sundaysunshine 11 месяцев назад

Once the flowers are fully dried you can use them in resin projects!

@wickedlette5149 Год назад

How do I know when it's completely dried out using the book method?

@sundaysunshine Год назад

It's perfectly okay to carefully open the book to check on your flowers. When you can gently run your finger across all parts of the flower smoothly like running your finger across a page in the book, then your flowers are most likely done!

I am having trouble with my flower petals turning brown. Is that normal?

@sundaysunshine 4 месяца назад

It's absolutely normal and I would even say part of the learning process! Don't get discouraged! I have two FAQs video that can help you get started. Here's the first: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XITiEK1ZDTU.html

@neesyhz6489 2 месяца назад

I have a question. How do you pressed flowers with thick stalk

@sundaysunshine 2 месяца назад

I find that cutting the stem or stalk in half helps alot! I also encourage you to take the flower apart and press thick parts of the flowers on the same layer in the press! You can learn the basics here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XITiEK1ZDTU.htmlfeature=shared

@molly_in_mke 11 месяцев назад

Is it just regular printer paper?

@sundaysunshine 10 месяцев назад

I used white construction paper in the video. I've used regular printer paper and cotton fabric in the flower press as well, and those have worked out well! There are many options!

@sundaysunshine 5 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for the question! I've used white construction paper, recycled computer paper and cotton fabric to press my flowers! I cover this more in-depth in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XITiEK1ZDTU.html Hope this helps!

@graciavera5968 Год назад

It’s using alcohol before pressed flowers?

@sundaysunshine Год назад

Hi! I'm not sure I completely understand your questions, but there is use of alcohol before pressing the flowers.

@sarahferri8088 11 месяцев назад

I tried pressing by using a book and some of the flowers have parts on the petals that turned brown. Does this mean its going moldy? Will it keep if I use it for a card?

@sundaysunshine 11 месяцев назад

Browning doesn't always mean moldy. Keep an eye on it and see if the browning spreads and turns into mold, but if the browning stays the same then it's just discolored and up to your personal preference if you want to use or not! Hope this helps!

@kathleenabegael Год назад

How do you avoid discoloration?
