Description:

This wooden flower press is an easy way to get started pressing your beautiful spring and summer blooms.

Pressing flowers is an easy way to preserve them so you can enjoy them for a long time to come. 

Pressed flowers can be a beautiful addition to scrapbook pages or handmade cards. They also work well for other craft projects like jewelry making or for framing.

Made exclusively for Innerspacism by Olivia Rochelle.

Tips + Tricks:

• The best flowers that will hold their shape and color better for pressing include ones that are naturally flat and have single-layered petals. You can use zinnias, delphiniums, pansies, violas, daisies, geraniums, cosmos, and other petite blooms. 

• Avoid using bulky, wet flowers for they can cause the cardboard sheets to dampen, not press flat, and even crack the press when bolting down.

• Avoid bolting the press down too hard. This can smash the flowers and ruin the press. You just want it to be bolted down enough to dry the flowers flat. 

• You can place extra sheets of paper in between the flowers for faster drying.
