Lay a piece of fabric or paper flat and then lay a piece of Bondaweb minus its silicone backing on top. Then arrange the flowers, leaves, etc on the Bondaweb. Now put another layer of Bondaweb on top of the flowers, again minus its backing of silicone paper. If wished put a layer of net or chiffon or other see through material on top of this. Then place a large enough piece of silicone paper over all and press with an iron firmly so that Bondaweb bonds to everything. Gently peel the silicone paper off the flowers. They will be sticky while still warm but this will go as the layers cool. |

At left a page from one of my sketch books showing flower petals bonded to Vellum. These were then rolled into beads and coated with varnish. |
