Blossom Bookmark

What You’ll Need:

• tiny flowers and leaves
• waxed paper
• heavy books
• scissors
• clear self-adhesive paper
• tape
• newspaper
• iron

How to Make It:

1. Collect tiny flowers and leaves. Put them between two sheets of waxed paper, and set some heavy books on top. Let them dry for about a week.

2. Cut out two pieces of clear self-adhesive paper. Make each as big as a bookmark.

3. Peel off and discard the backing from one piece. Tape down the ends of the paper (sticky-side up). Arrange the dried flowers and leaves on it.

4. Peel off and discard the backing from the other piece. Set the paper (sticky-side down) on the piece with the flowers and leaves. Press the pieces together, and try to smooth out the air bubbles. Remove the tape.

5. Trim around the edges of the bookmark.

6. With an adult’s help, set the bookmark between sheets of newspaper, and iron it with a warm iron. This will get rid of some of the air bubbles.
