If you are pressing your own flowers, you will need to place the florals on blotting paper in the middle of the book. Make sure you give each flower enough room to be pressed flat without touching another. Small, light flowers such as pansies and daisies or foliage such as ferns work best. Leave inside the book and under a stack of a couple of heavier books for a fortnight to press well.
Place your flowers on the corners of the ceramic coasters.
Personalise your dried coasters with names using the Posca Pen.
