How to make them: 

Tips for pressing your own flowers; choose small flowers.

Wax seals are quite small so smaller flowers will fit in them better. Trim off any extra portions of the flowers or stems that you don’t need. The thinner you get floral the quicker it will press.

Wait for flowers to fully dry it can take up to two weeks or longer.

You can look at the flowers to check them and change out the paper if needed. But you’ll want them to be fully dried before adding them to a wax seal to avoid molding.
