Method










These butterflies would be great on a birthday card, mother's day card or thank you note. You could also try laminating to make a placemat .

Pansies are a great flower to press as they have a single layer of petals and their vibrant colours are still reflected in the dried product. Try pressing leaves or other single layer flowers such as cosmos or delphiniums to create different butterflies or other animals!
