How to use this list
Lay wax paper on the work area and use the white cardstock strips as bookmark bases. Plan each design with a pencil and ruler, then use tweezers to place pressed flowers and leaves gently. Write a name or small detail with the fine-tip black marker before sealing if desired. Cover each cardstock strip with clear self-adhesive laminating sheet, smooth it carefully, and trim with child-safe scissors. Round corners with the corner rounder punch, then make a hole and add embroidery floss tassels.
Common mistakes
Do not laminate flowers that are still damp; only fully dried pressed flowers and leaves belong in these bookmarks. Avoid touching delicate flowers repeatedly with fingers, since tweezers give better control. Do not collect protected wild plants for this craft. Keep the laminate edges sealed so petals stay protected.
