Product Information

Some of my fondest childhood memories involve crafting in some way or another. I'm so happy that my boys seem to have inherited a love for crafting too. When they were little, my boys and I spent hours crafting together at the kitchen table. Herbarium Project Step 4: Cover the flowers with another piece of paper. Cover flowers with white paper ready for pressing

If you are even slightly handy with a drill, or know someone who is, you will be able to make a functional and fabulous DIY flower press. The skill set is basic for making this press. Notch the cardboard and paper on each corner, so that the pieces slip easily in and out of the press. Experiment and have fun. You'll soon learn which are the best flowers for pressing and which ones to avoid. If you don’t yet have a flower press, and have some flowers to press today, there are a number of different methods in which you can press the flowers.I sometimes find the commercial flower press kits are not quite as sturdy as those of the diy presses. If by some chance your holes have not matched up well, or the placement is very tight, don’t despair. Re-drilling the holes to make them slightly larger can help alleviate this problem.

When considering making your own DIY flower press, it is important to consider the components of flower pressing, and what to gather up to put inside the press once it has been created.As mentioned previously, using a flower press might just be the easiest thing you’ll ever do in arts and crafts. If using a bouquet, keep it in water until ready to press. (Tip: Always cut stems at an angle and place flowers in a vase with flower food to maintain freshness. Replace water daily and remove any leaves below the water line.)
