That made seven layers already! And the press wouldn't hold too many so Crackers suggested that all the other bears should choose a flower when these first seven had been pressed. The other bears were a bit upset at that but they cheered up a little when Crackers explained that it would give them some extra time to choose exactly which ones they liked best, and in a few weeks there might well be lots of different flowers to pick from.
Then Crackers started to layer the flowers in the press. The bottom layer was a sheet of corrugated card, then the first flower was placed between two sheets of absorbent paper (similar to blotting paper), then there was another layer of corrugated card, then the next flower between two more sheets of absorbent paper, and so on, until all the flowers were used, ending with a layer of corrugated card.
