When I was 6, my parents got me a pressed-flower kit for my birthday, complete with wooden boards, tissue paper, mounting cardboard, and metal fitments. I used to go around picking flowers in the backyard, press them, and then glue the flat flowers onto cards a couple of weeks later.
Today, I still do the same thing.
Using clear contact paper, I laminated flowers from special occasions.
Here are some unlaminated cards I made last year.
