Using Pressed Flowers on Scrapbook Pages - Shadow Boxes and Shakers

Another embellishment option is to put pressed flowers in a shadow box or shaker. However, if you’re going to make a shaker, Alison recommends securing the flowers to the bottom of the shaker, then covering them with transparency plastic and using beads or glitter inside the shaker. Pressed flowers are too delicate to use as the shaker filler. They will fall apart if they are left loose and allowed to move around too much. She made a very simple shadow box for this flower. The flower was mounted on the cream paper, and then mounted a frame around it, using foam tape to raise the frame. The frame is covered in a piece of transparency and then a decorative frame is added to the top.
