To put dried flowers in a glass frame, you need a double glass frame, glue, and patience! Here's a step-by-step guide:
Steps to Framing Dried Flowers
- Prepare Your Flowers: Ensure your flowers are completely dried. Pressing them beforehand will help them lay flat.
- Open the Frame: Carefully open your double glass frame. These frames typically have two panes of glass held together by a border.
- Arrange Your Flowers: Experiment with different arrangements on one pane of the glass until you're happy with the design.
- Adhere the Flowers: Once you're satisfied with the placement, use a clear-drying glue to carefully adhere each flower to the glass. Apply a small amount to the back of each flower to avoid visible glue marks. Press each flower gently but firmly onto the glass.
- Dry Completely: Allow the glue to dry completely, ideally overnight. This ensures the flowers are securely attached and won't shift when the frame is closed.
- Close the Frame: Carefully place the second pane of glass on top of the flowers, aligning it with the first pane and the frame's border.
- Secure the Frame: Secure the frame according to its design. This might involve clips, latches, or pressure fitting.
By following these steps, you can create a beautiful display of your dried flowers within a glass frame.
