Any time!

Sorry to hear that! What does the error say?

It’s packing tape. Here is the full article: www.firstdayofhome.com/pressed-flower-stickers/

Thanks, Cecile! I’m glad you liked them. Here’s the trimmer I have. I use it all the time. It’s on sale right now for around $8, normally $22. amzn.to/3XF7c9j

@@FirstDayofHome thank you!

@btrflywmn Any time!❤️

I don’t worry about it in the oven because it’s not touching anything that will later come into contact with food. I use foil pans to recharge in the oven, and I only use those with silica gel. That said, you should only do it if you’re comfortable with the product. I always follow the manufacturer directions. The reason I don’t use the plastic for food afterwards is because the plastic can absorb pesticides that might be in some flowers if you buy them in a store.

Thank you! I love that you can store them and use them again each year.

This image transfer medium is specifically meant for photo transfer, so you may not get the same results with Mod Podge Matte. Yes, acrylic paints would be great for background painting. That’s what I use. Hope this helps!

@@FirstDayofHome thanx for reply, very helpful for me😊

I’ve had that happen too. You can go over it again with a damp cloth or sponge. Just press the damp cloth down to let the surface absorb some moisture and then gently rub. Be careful not to rub too hard or the photo will start to come up. It helps to work in small sections. I hope this helps!

Ha! Have you given it a try? I’d like to do it again since I have tiles and grout leftover. Doing more than one helps since there’s a little learning curve.

Thank you! I can’t wait to make some more designs.

Thanks, Jane! I hope you have fun making some cute tumblers. It’s so satisfying.

Yes, as long as your glass item is smaller than the heat press, you can reach temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is great for sublimating on glass. The Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app don’t specifically have a setting for glass, but you can manually enter the temp and time you’d like in the app based on your sublimation material. I hope this helps!

Thank you, Ann!

Thanks, Tracie! I’m so glad it was useful. I try to share things I actually use after learning as I go. Good luck getting your space organized!

Thank you. No, sand won’t work the same as silica gel. I have the product linked in the video description if you need help finding it. Enjoy!

Thanks, Jane! I think the teachers would enjoy that. I can’t wait to see how they turn out.

Thank you!❤

The book method is always a classic. I also made a wooden flower press in another video, and I’m really enjoying those results too.

I'm so glad to hear that, Ed! Let me know if you have any questions as you get started.

Thanks, Jane! Yes, grab those blooms before it’s too late!😄 Thanks for watching.

Yes, you’re absolutely right if you plan to keep them outdoors. Thanks for bringing that up. I’ve enjoyed mine indoors, so they’ve done fine over the years.

Thanks so much for the nice comment! I love experimenting with clay. Perhaps I’ll try some more colorful variations in the future like you mentioned. I’ve wanted to try resin as well. There are so many possibilities! Thanks for watching. ❤️

Yay! I’m so glad to hear that.

I’m not sure what aspect of it you’re asking about. It’s a product sold in craft stores that does not require special safety gear.

You can use stencil vinyl or removable vinyl. Just make sure the vinyl has no bubbles around the edges where the etching cream might seep through.

Hi Pamela. If the flowers are fairly dry already, you won't benefit as much from using silica gel. Silica gel works best when the flowers are still soft and have some of their original color. I hope this helps you make a decision. You may want to grab some silica gel for next time, though! 😊

@@FirstDayofHome Thank you! So basically it is best to discard them. Or would they last a few on the shadow box?

@pamelarodriguez3091 Oh you can definitely still keep them in a shadow box. They may look more vintage, but I’m sure they would still be meaningful to you and worth keeping.

Thank you!

Thanks, Lou! They are so easy to make. I hope you try it.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

🥰

Thank you, Aurore! I have some information on doing this technique with fabric. I hope to do another video to show you, but in the meantime, you can read more here: www.firstdayofhome.com/flower-pounding/

@@FirstDayofHome Thank you . I can not wait to share some of my finished work.❤

@aurorestubbs3926 I would love to see it! You can tag me on Instagram when you do. 😊 @firstdayofhome

I’m so glad to hear that, Kerry! I hope you enjoy experimenting with it.

Hi Maria! Yes, you can apply a fixative like hair spray to help the flowers maintain their shape. I don’t usually add anything to mine, but I’m hoping to make a video showing a comparison soon.

Thanks, Sarah! This was a great collaboration, and I’m so happy to meet a fellow crafter in Texas!

Thanks, Jane! This was such a fun collaboration, and I learn something new from you ladies all the time. ❤️

That’s great to hear! What a gift to have all those flowers to play with. Enjoy preserving them!😊

Thanks, Kelley! I’m glad you liked it and hope you give it a try. 😊

Thanks, Morena! I’m glad to meet a fellow crafter who likes to use Mod Podge.

@@FirstDayofHome I can't wait to see what you make next with MP!

I hope this tutorial is helpful! I imagine it’s a lot of work to keep up with an 1880 farmhouse, but I’m sure it gives you lots of inspiration. Good luck with your projects, and thanks for watching.

Thank you! Glad you appreciated that.

Thank you! It just helps the clay to stick a little better when you’re attaching two pieces.

Sorry I misread your comment at first. Not sure if you were just expecting different content. This is about storing your physical Cricut mats.

Thank you, Marya!

Thanks, Jane! The stickers are fun to give as gifts too. 😊
