Pressed Flower Ornaments! 🌸🎄🥰// Garden Answer

[@kimberlybyrd2472]

I think I will make some ornaments out of my mom's pressed flowers from her funeral service for my sister, brother and myself ..... such a wonderful idea!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@thejlos]

That would be a wonderful way to use those flowers. What a wonderful tribute.

[@anneh7217]

Lovely keepsake idea. How thoughtful you are.

[@leahsilverstein]

Kimberly Byrd what a beautiful idea 😭💕

[@lisarmahan]

It wonderful idea Sending you condolences...💝

[@rosiemarsh2071]

This is such a special idea, thank you.

[@joannehunstiger9987]

If you use 3/4 cup of warm tea, they will look antique. 😉 Love this. Thanks! 🎄🎅🎄

[@Bamboo4U2]

That's even better than using food dyes for color. You could use different tea flavors. They come in lots of different varieties. (Personally, I think some of them [like the apple] smell a whole lot better than they actually taste, but here's a good way to use up yucky-tasting tea!)

[@sallyroosa2184]

Great idea! I'm going to try that!

[@laurieanne9712]

Great idea!!!I have a RUBY CHAI that would turn them a gorgeous color AND give off a fabulous smell, hopefully!

[@margol.3169]

I'd love the look of antique on these. Will try

[@kh2040]

This would be a fantastic gift for a gardener - take flowers from their garden in the summer and present them with a box of ornaments at Christmas.

[@nirzareepandya2200]

This is the first thing I watch before going to school and honestly it makes my day.

[@tippystreats]

I totally get that - I pour my first cup of coffee, sit down on the couch and open up this channel in the hopes for a video!

[@cindydawson1858]

I Love the project of making the ornaments out of my flowers. I would love to try it!! I just don't know how to press my flowers. Did you do a DIY on that also?? If so I haven't seen it yet?? Could you possibly let me see it?? Thank you, I enjoy seeing you and what you!!👍🌺🌻🌹

[@laurieanne9712]

@@cindydawson1858 Put GARDENANSWER pressing flowers in the KZbin subject line & it should come up. Hope that helps!

[@laurieanne9712]

Actually click the SHOW MORE above--Aaron has the pressed flower link.

[@carolaltom9571]

I watch this channel right after my work out while I make breakfast and it is now just a part of my day!

[@makingmudpies]

Such a great idea Laura! I think they would look lovely doubling as gift tags on presents, have you tried writing on the back of them? Thank you for another fantastic project to add to the list.

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

That's a GREAT idea! And the recipients could still use them as ornaments!

[@makingmudpies]

@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane my thoughts exactly! They would be amazing for Mothers Day, or even as Name Place Holders on the table for a birthday, baby shower etc etc. Laura's opened Pandora's Box with this one! 💗💗

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

@@makingmudpies Haha! Yes, for sure! My mind started racing with thoughts too!

[@boothgoodies6348]

I have a ton of baking soda and cornstarch leftover from my children’s “slime-making” phase. This will be a great way to put it to use.

[@cinziadeluca5074]

Laura thank you for this tutorial. I'm going to make these with my Grade 4 students. They're going to love it.

[@neldahargo29]

thank you for the out-of-garden season projects

[@janeoshaughnessy8482]

Great idea with the flowers! My children and I made ornaments using the baking soda and cornflower about 45 years ago and some of them are still hanging on my or their trees!!!!!! Great memories! Thanks Laura.

[@debrahernandez2032]

These ornaments would be beautiful on a Easter tree.

[@nikolinaremus2679]

🥰👍🏼 Hello from Croatia 🇭🇷

[@iamziano]

I've been watching her past Christmas-related videos since September (The start of the Christmas season here in the Philippines) and finally there's a new one for this year 🥰🥰🥰 I would love to see a Christmas Tree Challenge using different DIY ornaments like this one 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@aolson8185]

Yes! A Homemade Christmas ornament Christmas tree challenge would be awesome. And Benjamin could make some(?) or do handprints or something.

[@aolson8185]

Wait. Is DYI the same thing as homemade, right?🤷‍♀️

[@dakotahgangur6610]

These are beautiful, gives them an antique feel

[@TexasMyTexas]

Super cute....and the music at the end..ahhhhh. 😌

[@julieannecollins7775]

What a fantastic idea! Laura you are so talented :)

[@annelefevre9457]

Of course, I liked it.....so sweet and special each ornament is! I thought you had to go to more trouble , but you made it look so easy. I love pressing flowers! Thank you for a great idea.🎄🌸🌼

[@GardenMinistry.]

Oh my word!!! I'm obsessed!! 😭 These are gorgeous, unique, simple, and cost effective. Thinking up a natural Christmas tree this year, I'm gonna have to make these too 💓 love!!!

[@moran439]

I think I just found my new passion! And guess what everyone is getting for Christmas. 😂. Thank you so much for inspiring us each and every day! I find so much peace in watching your video’s, and honestly don’t know how I made it all these years without your channel. 🥰

[@aerialluz]

Happy to have found your channel this year. ❤❤ This dough mix is now my all time favorite for preserving beauty. I made a batch, cut out a few shapes, and then had a clump leftover. I wrapped it in plastic to see how long it would last. 😅 I forgot about it for weeks and it was fully malleable and fine in the plastic when I finally returned to it. I ended up rolling it flat while in the plastic so that I could press my dog's paw onto it after (nothing wet or smelly for her to deal with). She didn't mind it at all! Came out super cute. 🎉 Thank you!!

[@mindylloyd4840]

You’re consistently a breath of fresh air! Thank you! ❤

[@sasasarahok]

I’m 100% going to do this. I’m gonna have 3 trees set up at my house and for my skinny tall tree I was gonna do woodland themed! So I’ll do this and dip the ornaments in some dark tea to stain the white! Awesome awesome Laura!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@colson8357]

What a neat idea. You could label them in the back. So you remember which year the flowers came from. I’m so impressed. Thank you for sharing.

[@christleannsilcox7665]

I'm pressing flowers because of you :-) I think I should do this with them. I love this idea, so simple and with elements already here at home. Kids will love this too. Thank you for the great idea. Your inspiration is never ending. Thank you.

[@cherimanners9601]

I am not someone who makes time to do crafts, but I really LOVE these ornaments! What a great keepsake and record of your garden for your own enjoyment and to pass down to your kids. Thank you so much again for being you!

[@gaylordgardenclub7986]

This would be lovely for a garden club Christmas tree. Ours is displayed at a local nursing home for the month of December. A year-round branch tree lit with fairy or LED twinkle lights would be beautiful with these pressed flower ornaments, too! I loved the tip from a viewer of making "vintage" ornaments by replacing warm water with coffee. Thanks for the video!

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

Wow! These ornaments are so beautiful and so creative Laura :) My grandmother loved lavender so much, she always used lavender perfumes and soaps, always had lavender plants and oils all around her house, we used to joke that we always knew she was nearby before we we could even see her sometimes because we could smell lavender ... you could literally smell lavender if she was in the next room lol 💜💜💜 Making lavender Christmas ornaments for our tree would be something so precious to have in memory of her. My hubby and I have a few beautiful lavender plants in our bedroom that can be used for this. Since your last video on flower pressing I've been using my flower press a lot and it's so enjoyable and amazing the things that can be made 🎁🔔☃️🎄

[@camicri4263]

Super cute! Easy enough to do. I have so many ornaments and a small house....I know...maybe presents. Thank you Laura!🤗💜

[@beckyscheller9358]

Plan to do this with wood slices from my yard. Thanks for the idea!

[@raylynnwilliams7065]

My 5 year old niece just got a report card that was advanced in every subject. Her reward today for a job well done was a shopping trip to the baking aisle of our local mom and pops store. We made these together today and it is the nicest feeling dough ever. We had made salt dough ornaments but they do not store well. We have high hopes for these! Thank you, Mimi & Lola

[@thunder402]

I love this. Thanks for the idea. You can write on the back...the Date, kind of flower and To and From for a remembrance. Even a little note if you wish. Awesome.

[@moniquehansen7444]

These are so beautiful. I love your natural tree and decor in your sunroom

[@lilianaherrera1165]

Your video was very useful and I love how specific you were with explaining every step! Will definitely be trying this. Thank you! I also appreciate that you put all the information in the description box. 😊

[@juliamoore1845]

Love this!!! So pretty. Going to ask for a flower press for Christmas!

[@3in2Art]

Love your diversity with projects - you have a little bit of everything to share and so much to give! Thank you! 🌸🌳🍅🍜🎨👍🥰

[@tvcat3665]

That's nice, you will keep your flowers throughout Christmas.

[@dawndawn6946]

The colors came out amazing!

[@dustyacres]

Thanks again for the project. What a cute little idea you are so sweet to put this out there.

[@murphy1384]

I am going to make some & use them as package tags. Write on back year & to/from. Then they can use them as ornaments. Tyfs Mary

[@AngloPrincess60]

Beautifully done, Laura. I also like the "whisper" of Christmas music at the end. :)

[@pammullins1628]

What a fun cool project for kids. Easy, inexpensive and beautiful! Love this!

[@backandstillbgmsdangerusda5493]

Very nice. Fun activity with the kids. Thank you.

[@jonicarter9684]

What a great project. Something fun to do with the granddaughters

[@shelbyandblush]

Those are gorgeous!! I especially love the violas ♡ I think fern leaves would also be a stunning design to try! ♡

[@piccuh]

You could even mod podge on a photo & put flowers around the edges!

[@dustyacres]

That is exactly what I was wanting to do. The grandkids are going to love this idea

[@sherrybacon8041]

Thats funny. I was going to suggest that also!!

[@thejlos]

You could put a layer of glitter glue first too, then add your flowers for a little sparkle.

[@explaincauseidontgetit3294]

A perfect way to preserve your garden!!! I love this!!!

[@maryanncarter6048]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I wonder if you might be doing a garden themed tree this year. That would be soooo you. I love your ideas! Thank you. ❤🏵🌼🌻

[@judithjohnson2111]

Great project to do with the grandkids. Making a list & cking it twice. Thanks for another inspiring video. The music is so perfect. I pressed flowers quite a while ago. Hope they've survived.😳

[@cadre500]

Love these! I would suggest decorating both sides of each ornament with flowers.

[@laurieanne9712]

And there I go!!! I was looking for a super easy project, hands on, to do with the grandkids!! Thanks so much!!

[@photoprescott2499]

❤️ I know this is totally off-topic...but can you please make a video on how you do your daily hair and make-up? xoxo ❤️ Who else would love this?

[@carolbeatty2468]

What a fun project and it would be great to do with children so I may have to do this with my grandchildren or figure out how to do it at work with my preschool class. Thanks for the coffee with Laura and great ideas!

[@lindaplumley4060]

OMGoodness! This is the sweetest idea ever!

[@aliciagates48]

Love these!!! Easy enough for my 11 year old to make too! 😍👏

[@lisawalters5482]

So pretty and what a great activity for kids as well. 👏🏻🎄

[@preciouspetals8483]

A beautiful project for pressed flowers!

[@alexcarrn28]

I really like this craft. Hey it's so interesting and there's so much that you could put on these. And so many different shapes you could make. I really really like it. Thank you so much for showing it to us. In a few years Benjamin can help you with these too.

[@sandiccc]

These are adorable, Laura.

[@danam927]

I haven’t thought about these type ornaments in years!!! I made these as a kid! Thank you for the inspiration Laura!💕

[@bradjohnson361]

Such a cute idea and personal gift!! Saved this to start for next year

[@paulamyers103]

Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing, Laura ❤️

[@vikkielaf]

I absolutely love this idea. And what a fantastic gift for gardening friends and family

[@candyallison6465]

Very cute. I think a fall tree would be fun. Take the leaves etc around your garden and make ornaments for a fall tree.

[@daniellestanke5359]

These are pretty!! Great for your garden themed tree Laura!!!

[@somervillesas5103]

I have been collecting flowers for years, thanks for this idea. I will try hopefully this year.

[@laurenwellman2516]

Great idea! Thank you so much for sharing. We used to make ornaments similar to this with the kids and they would put their thumb, or finger or hand prints on them and paint them. 😉

[@coolwater55]

Oh, Laura, just when I think I’ve learned lots from you, another great project that is personal, beautiful and delightful!!!

[@martiknapp762]

Thanks this will be so nice to keep track of my favorite new flower from each garden year. I think I will try to scent my dough. You have such fun ideas.

[@SuperChicChick]

Soooo pretty!!!! My kids would love this!!

[@craigdonnelly517]

LOVE them! The flowers look SO pretty on them

[@anneh7217]

Sweet idea...great craft to do with children. Thanks

[@SisterChristianZ]

AWESOME! Thank you so much for this post! We celebrate the Biblical holy day Hanukkah and have a hard time finding decorations! Now I can make anything my mind will come up with! You're a sweetheart!!!

[@katiealexander5547]

Those are glorious! You are so crafty.

[@MM-yl3eb]

These are absolutely gorgeous !! They look so professionally made you could sell them. Like something from a boutique. I absolutely LOVE IT 💗

Wonderful project to do with kids thanks 💖

[@bernadette721]

Just re-visiting these now in 2022. They are so pretty. I’m going to give them a try! Thank you

[@kkatlynismyname]

So beautiful and great for gifts! It would probably also work to top it with epoxy to make it smooth and shiny

[@Bamboo4U2]

I like the idea of using different food dyes to add some variety. And if they drop and break, these cost next to nothin', so great idea!

[@tcondrey]

🌸🌲🌸Beautiful idea!!!🌸🌲🌸

[@LifesAProject]

What a great idea. I love it. The heuchera one is my favorite. 😀🌿

[@aleksandrazubek8592]

This just gave me the best idea for small gifts to give to all my office mates with flowers I dried from my very first garden, thanks Laura!

[@dianac2596]

That’s the cutest thing ever!

[@TheMiltonMeadow]

Laura- unrelated but your hair is always so gorgeous! The color and the curls! Do a tutorial and have Aaron do a voice over 😂

[@elmariedstra5631]

Love waking up to a Laura video!! I check before getting out of bed. Love the ornaments!!

[@lindamills9444]

Love this ideal I want to do this with my grandbabies. Thank you for sharing.

[@iartistdotme]

Excellent idea, great instructions, beautiful ornaments. I think doing the backs would be a good idea for me, also. My grands hang them so they get looked at from various sides - LOL.

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Is there anything you can’t do? You are amazing!!! These are super cute ornaments:)

[@HowsItGrowing]

This is so creative and beautiful. This really put me in the holiday mood. Thank you!
