Welcome to How to Tuesdays. We are in the garden pulling some flowers for the flower press and I'm going to walk you through some layering techniques.

Starting off by gutting the flowers like we learned about last week. The number one thing we do not want to do here is layer in two flowers that are completely different thicknesses within the same layer of the press. We want to keep the same density, moisture content, thickness throughout one layer of the press. 

The other important piece is to not cluster your flowers. You want to make sure they are nicely spaced out so that all of that moisture is spread evenly throughout the layer. And then we are going to layer on our blotting paper and a piece of cardboard. And you are ready for your next layer.
