We know that pressed flowers are one of the best ways to preserve memories. However, pressed flower craft is also a great way to make beautiful decorations for your home or office. Crafts can be inexpensive and very easy to do!
What should I know about this?
Flower presses can be purchased online or at most major retail stores like Walmart and Hobby Lobby.
We first start by pressing our flowers under some heavy books overnight, so they have time to dry out slightly before being placed between pieces of blotter paper that have been taped together with wax.
Flowers pressed using a press will be flat and stiff, but they can easily be remoistened if desired. During the drying process, the heat might damage the petals or leaves of your pressed flowers, depending on their type. This is why you must allow them to rest for at least twenty-four hours before use. Dried pressed flowers are best used as decorations when pressed in an album or journal rather than writing embellishments because most pens won’t write over them.
