What can you do with pressed flowers?

DD1 has pressed a few flowers before but they have gone to waste because we are at a loss at to know what to do with them next. All I can think of is cards and bookmarks but how would you glue them on without ruining them and where do you get the sticky back plastic see through cover you presumably need? And is there anyything else you can do? Thanks.

I have a very nice plaque that was made using pressed flowers with my name and birth date on it

Spray adhesive I think, in a circle on some board, with the details in Caligraphy in the centre, then put in a photo frame to protect it
