Instructions
  1. Petal Pendants Start by pressing the flowers. The easiest method is to set them between paper towels and lay a heavy book on top. After a few days, most flowers will be dry and flat.

  2. Next, seal a pressed blossom or two between two squares of clear Con-Tact paper. Work out any air bubbles with your fingers. With scissors, trim the edges of the Con-Tact paper around the flower and make a small hole in the top of the medallion.

  3. Thread a loop of floral wire (for a hanger) through the hole. Finally, string the pendant onto the ball chain and the necklace is ready to wear.
