Flowers are a classicMother ’s Day talent . But if you want something that lasts longer , essay dry out them out andframing themlike TikTok Maker @landonklucasdid in a video she post .
She starts by collecting a few flowers of different size and cut down the stem off of them . Then , she lay the flowers confront down on a paper towel and place another newspaper towel on top ( like a little heyday sandwich ) . She order those paper towel in the microwave oven and places a heavy , microwave - dependable plate on top . After microwave the flush for two minutes , she rent them out and lease them cool off , and they ’re ready to direct in a frame .
One commenter claim that two minutes was a fleck too long for her flowers , which ended up burning . you may always microwave your flowers in 30 - second interval to ensure they dry out out but do n’t brown .
Beyond that , the craft was a success for other commenters , who called it “ so pretty and simple . ”
If you want to lend even more of a flair to the framed heyday idea , and make it extra special , reckon adding some photoslike TikTok Maker @debtrette did . She did n’t press the flowers herself , opting to buy a contract flower set instead , and used a paintbrush to gently apply exculpated gum on the backs of the Polaroid exposure and flower to make certain everything stay put in place . Add a bit of ribbon and a card , and voila !
If your mom is n’t much of a bloom lover , glue Scrabble pieces into words and phrases that have meaning to both of you , as @diywithshantelle did for her natural endowment .
She got a box of Scrabble from Goodwill ; traced , rationalize out , and glued a background to the systema skeletale backing , and made it her own by hot gluing on her Scrabble piece . While her creation included the public figure of other menage members ' you may cite any special memories , dates , songs , or place — whatever you decide spell out , the recipient will surely love what you make ( she always does ) .
