Don't let pressed flowers lose their colour
When you press flowers, it will not only involve pressing them but they will also dry out. When drying out, these flowers are bound to change colour at least a little bit. No matter how bright and beautiful they are when they are fresh, the petals will darken as they dry out. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to keep them as beautiful as possible.
The purpose of the fabric softener or glycerine is to keep the flower petals soft. It also helps preserve your flowers for longer. Even if you don't dye your flowers, you can still use this softening method to keep the petals more supple. Dying the flowers before drying them really helps the colours stand out. You might want to use a different colour for different flowers. You can enhance the colour of each flower by dying them. For example, place yellow flowers in bright yellow dye. Alternatively, dye white flowers any colour you like.
