What do you use to adhere your pressed flowers to canvas board?

I am into pressing some flowers and need to know if you MUST use archival paper in your press or if any thing else can be used. And then need to know how to attach my dried flowers to my stretched canvas.

I've used regular printer paper to press flowers and it came out fine. When adhering them to canvas you want to handle them with tweezers. Use an acid free glue stick or glue pen to apply a tiny amount of glue to the canvas, then place flowers onto the glued portion of the canvas. Use a good adhesive. Perfect Paper Adhesive is an acid free transparent adhesive and sealer with a UV inhibitor. Using the matt formula, you can't see it on the flowers, but the gloss will give a shiny finish. Choose your preferred finish and you're set to go. You can also use this as your sealer. Good luck! -

Modge Podge Paper Matte is acid free. I haven't checked further for other Modge Podge formulas.https://plaidonline.com/products/mod-podge-paper-matte-8-oz
