These charms, with their small and delicate contents, preserve a touch of summer's bloom.
| Prep Time: Weekend Project | |
| What you need: | |
| Small to medium-sized blossoms
Paper towels Heavy book Clear Con-Tact paper Floral wire Ball chain (available at craft stores) | |
| Seasons: Summer | |
| Materials: contact paper, nature objects, wire | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Start by pressing the flowers. The easiest method is to set
them between paper towels and lay a heavy book on top. After a
few days, most flowers will be dry and flat. |
| 2. | Next, seal a pressed blossom or two between two squares of clear Con-Tact paper. Work out any air bubbles with your fingers. With scissors, trim the edges of the Con-Tact paper around the flower and make a small hole in the top of the medallion. |
| 3. | Thread a loop of floral wire (for a hanger) through the hole. Finally, string the pendant onto the ball chain and the necklace is ready to wear. |
