How do I pound flowers on cloths to make a stain?
I saw a quick photo of pounded flowers on cloth which looked very pretty. I cannot find it again. Do you know of this technique?

Hi Sissl, this is so fun to do. Just tape you flower on the right side to whatever cloth you wish to stain. Then turn the cloth over to wrong side and place onto a board or hard surface and use a hammer to pound on the flower. The color of the flower will transfer onto the cloth. Super cute to do on white cloth napkins. Here's a tutorial.

Wet them in warm water set on spot and place something heavy on it and leave there 24 hours
Hi Sissi. Put down a white cotton cloth or linen and put the flowers and leafs on top of it. Then place a piece of wax paper on top of the flowers. Hit it a few times with a hammer. The flowers will burst and soak into the cloth.
