Trim any overhanging pieces and cover with another piece of tissue paper, followed by newspaper and another piece of cardboard.\u00a0<\/p><p>2. Place your books over top. Now comes the hard part. It\u2019s time to be patient. It will take two to four weeks for the flowers to dry. You may feel like you are sitting on your hands but try not to sneak a peek as this is prime time for ripping if disturbed.\u00a0<\/p><p>3. After two weeks, carefully take a peek at your pressing. Lift the books off one by one and remove layers until you reach the flowers. If the moisture is gone and the flowers are dry, they are ready to be transferred to their final destination.
