Watch how to make beautiful prints from leaves and flowers by placing them between paper and boiling them in water. You will be amazed when you see the results!

DISCLAIMER:
I stated in the video to go out and forage to look for pretty flowers and greenery but it has come to my attention that one must be careful of certain poisonous species. For example the invasive Poison Hemlock has been found in BC and across Canada. It can look like little ferns when just starting out. If touched it can cause rashes and other ailments. Please know your plants before harvesting.
