Framing Pressed Wild Flowers

RE: Framing Pressed Wild Flowers Post By cate (Guest Post) (06/12/2008) What kind of adhesive do you use to glue the pressed flowers onto the picture? I am interested to find one that isn't too messy and that leaves the flowers looking unbruised.

However, I don't always like the flowers too flat. I heard you can use thick stack of newspaper, might be good to use paper towel in between to protect from newsprint. Test different weights until you get the look you want. This leaves some dimension to the flowers. Remember not to squeeze them between the picture frame glass and backing. Scrapbooking foam tabs will help with that. Good luck..
