Attaching dried flowers to a page?

I am working on making something for my family. I want to have a frame with a picture and a poem in it. Around the picture and poem I want to attach some flowers. What is the best way to attach the flowers? The flowers will just be on a piece of cardboard or paper. Thanks!

Attaching dried flowers to a page?
You can flatten the flowers, or you can add a thin layer of glue on to a flatter part of the flower and stick it to the paper/card board. Holding it in place. If the stem is still attached, maybe you could staple the flower in place. But I think your best bet would be to use a small dab of hot glue onto the part of the flower that you want on the paper/cardboard, then holding the flower in place for maybe a minute or two.





If you don't have a hot glue gun, maybe using that super glue stuff could help. You know, the stuff that dries in 30 seconds or whatever. You would do the same thing, add a dab of glue to the part of the flower that will be facing the paper/card board, then hold the flower in place as the glue dries and hardens.





To get a hot glue gun you can go to Michael's or any craft store by you.

A mini glue gun should work fine, if you won't be using the hot glue gun a lot, then buying a mini hot-glue gun is fine.
Reply:very small amount of either elmers glue or hot glue from a hot glue gun...not a lot...good luck
Reply:after flattening your flowers, just a drop or two (depending on flower size) of regular school glue will work great.
