Directions:
Step 1
Peel one side of the protective film completely off from each coaster. Lay the coaster with its peeled side facing up, then start placing the flowers on top arranging them however you want, make sure that the flowers were pressed between the pages of a heavy book overnight or longer for better results. Make sure to touch only the flowers when you want to move them around and not the glass itself to not leave a mark. Remember that the fewer flowers you use the better, also cut the stems off if needed.

Step 2
Now, lay the second coaster on top with its peeled side facing down on the flowers, then make sure that they are aligned. Press them together firmly using your fingers, then peel off the other side of your protective film from your coaster, and use a binder clip to hold them together while you’re preparing your copper tape. Apply the copper tape around the edges fusing them together, then use your thumbs to push them firmly against the edges and you’re done!
