Pressed Flowers
Pressed Flowers
Press flowers and foliage and use them in framed art, cards, bookmarks, and resin.
Seasonal
Pressing flowers is a gentle, nostalgic craft that turns a walk into art: gather petals and leaves, press them flat for a week or two, and you've got delicate, preserved material for framed pictures, cards, and bookmarks.
It costs almost nothing and connects you to the seasons.
The honest reality is it takes patience (pressing isn't instant) and the prettiest results come from learning which flowers press well — but the gathering and arranging are pure, low-stakes pleasure.
