Quick Tip! Press Your Valentine's Day Flowers!

Don't wait 'til the last petal of your Valentine's Day flowers falls to the ground.  After a few days of gazing at the beautiful blooms, cut the heads of the flowers off to save them forever! Place the flower head between two pieces of wax paper, then put that in between the pages of a heavy book.  Set the book aside and place a few more heavy books on top for extra weight.  After a few days, remove the pressed flower and you have a beautiful piece to keep for memory's sake or to make crafts, such as laminated magnets and scrapbooks.  Do this to keep a visual memory of your romantic holiday!
