HOMEMADE FLOWER PRESS

Flowers are wonderful gift…sometimes. They can be wasteful and while I decorate many rooms with dried flower (less maintenance, just as pretty). I also press the flowers I have gotten for later projects. So, think of this, kind of like a jig for decorative materials. Which are very useful, they can be used with glass, resign, and wood to name a few. This project was wonderful because all but one item was made form leftovers (we bought the wingnuts) or item we keep stocked. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work, theses flowers will be ready in about a month. What do you think we should do with them, let us know in the comments down below.

Ahh, I love this flower press. Now you have to make something with the flowers. Maybe a wind hike???

[@happyhounddesign]

Thanks I’m not sure what a wind hike is but I’ll look into it... unless it was an autocorrect thing in which case I’m going to guess a kite or wind chimes and both would be very fun.

Nicely done! What is the red material you pressed the flowers between? Does it help the drying?

[@happyhounddesign]

Thank you! The red material was cardboard from an old box ... it’s doesn’t help with drying but it dose provide a soft surface , so the flowers stay intact. However the butcher paper acts as the final barrier between the flower and the press because it can absorb some of the remaining moisture in the flower making them less likely to mold during the month long drying process.
