How to Make Pressed Flower Art || Pressing Flowers in a Book

How to make pressed flower art. I'm pressing flowers and leaves in a book and using them to create floral patterns on cardboard. I'm scanning and editing them digitally into a seamlessly repeating pattern for my Redbubble shop, but the original ones can of course be framed, they'll look pretty as wall art. You can also use this technique for making cards, such as summer greeting cards or invitations.
