<\/a><\/p>\nIn order to do flower pounding you will need the tools shown above. I tried 3 types of paper. Copy paper did not work at all. Construction paper was better, but I found some high quality paper that worked best. As you can see I used a hammer, if you have a rubber mallet that is supposed to work best.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First I arranged the petals and flowers on the sticky side of my tape.<\/p>\n Then I covered the sticky side of my tape and flowers with paper that I cut to fit on the tape.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I put a book beneath the bookmark to reduce the noise and pounded up and down the white paper for 2\u00a0 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/a>There are not many flowers left in my garden, but I was able to find a few. If you want to to use your neighbor’s flowers, make sure you ask them before you pick them.<\/p>\n<\/a>You need to reduce how sticky the tape is. I put the tape on and off my pants 20 times to reduce its stickiness.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
