1. Can I use any type of flower?

While most flowers work well, avoid those that wilt quickly or have a lot of moisture.

2. How long should I let the charms dry?

A drying time of 24-48 hours is optimal. Be sure to turn them halfway for even drying.

Absolutely! Acrylic paints work well for adding personal touches.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and beauty.

Prepare Your Flowers: If using fresh flowers, gently press them using a heavy book for a few days until flattened. For dried flowers, ensure they are not brittle.
Mix the Cornstarch: In a bowl, combine equal parts of cornstarch and water until you achieve a smooth dough-like consistency.
Roll Out the Mixture: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about a quarter-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Cut Out Shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut the rolled dough into your desired shapes. Set these shapes aside.
Add Flowers: Press your dried or prepared flowers onto the dough shapes gently, ensuring they adhere well.
Drying Time: Allow the charms to dry for 24-48 hours at room temperature, flipping them halfway through to ensure even drying.

To create vibrant designs, layer different colors of flowers. If sticky, sprinkle extra cornstarch on your surface.
