All you need to press flowers is parchment or wax paper, and a heavy book or flat object. Here is a brief overview of how to dry flowers.

1. Pick the right flowers. Choose flat flowers or flowers with thick petals because these are the friendliest flowers for pressing.
2. Lay your flowers between paper. Sandwich your flowers between two pieces of parchment or wax paper and lay them flat on a table. You can also open a large, thick book to the middle and line the pages with non-stick paper.
3. Apply pressure. Place a heavy, flat object on top of the paper containing your flower or gently close the book you’re drying your flowers in. Leave your pressed flowers in a warm, dark, and dry location.
4. Replace the drying paper. After a week or so, check your flowers. Replace the used paper with fresh, dry paper, but be careful because your flowers will be in a very delicate state. Repeat the process until the flowers have completely dried, which may take up to four weeks.
