Growing up, I remember my mother always pressing flowers in the phone book between two tissues. It's easy but takes time for the blooms to dry. My mom made pressed flower arrangements in picture frames. I now have all her supplies and continue the tradition as well as trying new things with resin. Martha Stewart has on her site a way to press flowers using the microwave. A great idea if you are in need of a certain flower and don't want to wait the long dry time. [link]
