Here is what my teacher said to do at the local Jr. College: you use newspaper and some very heavy books. Lay a piece of newspaper then place your plant or flower specimen on it. Lay down another newspaper page (do not use the colored ad pages) and you just keep alternating if you have more than one specimen. Then, you put the books on top of it all. It takes about a week for them to dry. I also took a class at the local University and we used an actual plant press. So, that is two ways to do it. Both worked fine for me. I still have my plant pressed samples from almost 10 years ago now and they are fine.

in the middle of the pages of a heavy book, like a big dictionary
