Step 4Cut corrugated cardboard and insert newspaper

Cut a bunch of corrugated cardboard pieces to match the size of the frames.  Enough for the quantity of plants you want to press.  One for each plant, plus another to cap off.

Get newspaper and keeping it folded, place the sheets between the cardboard.  I used multiple sheets to absorb the moisture from the plants. 

The newspaper doesn't have to fit perfectly.  Just be careful when you put your plants between the pages that parts of them are not sticking out beyond the edge of the frame.  These parts won't flatten and probably will get damaged.
