Ingredients
Materials for Ornaments
- 1 set Transparent plastic or glass ornaments Choose the size based on preference.
- 1 batch Dried and pressed flowers (like pansies, daisies, or ferns) Select flowers that resonate personally.
- 1 bottle Craft glue or Mod Podge To adhere flowers to the ornament.
- 1 each Paintbrush or sponge applicator For applying glue.
- 1 pair Scissors To trim flowers, if necessary.
- 1 length Twine or ribbon For hanging the ornaments.

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather fresh flowers and press them between the pages of a heavy book for about a week.
- Alternatively, use a flower press if you have one to retain their color and shape.
Assembly
- Carefully unscrew the top of your transparent ornament to access the interior.
- Place the dried flowers inside the ornament. Experiment with different layouts until you find one you love.
- Use craft glue or Mod Podge to adhere the flowers to the inside surface of the ornament.
- Brush a thin layer of glue over the flowers for added durability.
- If desired, add a sprinkle of glitter or sequins for an extra touch of sparkle.
- Allow the ornament to dry completely — this may take a couple of hours.
- Once dried, carefully reattach the top of the ornament and tie a twine or ribbon through the hook for hanging.
