Pick up your project where you left off yesterday. Decide which flower or leaf fits in each frame and use your best handwriting to write the plant’s name on the line below the frame.
Carefully trim the extra laminated material from around the flower or leaf and glue it inside the frame.
Set aside your project to be continued tomorrow.
