Materials
- Fresh or dried flowers
- Cornstarch
- Water
- Cookie cutters (optional)
- Rolling pin
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
To create vibrant designs, layer different colors of flowers. If sticky, sprinkle extra cornstarch on your surface.
