I've finally pressed two of the leaves between sheets of paper. They're on the floor in a spare room with piles of heavy books on top. The kraft paper idea is excellent! I want mine to be inspired by the old specimens and kraft paper will help create a vintage look. Thanks for this great post. Good timing.

I have a huge binder of pressed plants I collected during a flora class, but I've never thought of them as art. This is a neat idea.
