That's a great old trick for preserving plants for dioramas!
Thanks, Steven, for giving us a nice little guide.

Just what I like, simple and easy and cheap.

I guess if you want to model flowers, I guess there's nothing better than using real flowers!! I like this method and it's one I could use. I agree with Grumpy, simple, easy and cheap...
