Over the summer a child I care for and I used a microwave flower press to dry flowers quickly and efficiently to make crafts during the year. This week we used some of the pink and red flowers to make a heart-shaped sun catcher as a Valentine’s craft.
You Will Need:
Small Flowers
Microwave Flower Press
Construction Paper
Self-Adhesive Laminating Paper
Scissors
Hole Punch (optional)
Twine or Yarn (optional)
What to Do:
- Press small flowers using a microwave flower press.
- Cut out a heart shape from construction paper. Cut out the center of the heart leaving a heart shaped border.
- Place the heart on the sticky side a sheet of self-adhesive laminating paper.
- Have the child place dried pressed flowers on the laminating sheet inside of the heart.
- Put another laminating sheet on top of the heart and flowers and press down hard to seal.
- Cut out the heart.
- Optional: Punch holes on top of heart and string with twine or yarn to hang.
- Hang in a window with tape or by twine or yarn.
