HOW TO PRESS FLOWERS USING A FLOWER PRESS - Super Easy and Gorgeous Results

This video will show you how to press your flowers using a flower press. Some sections are sped up to help you see how to do the whole process in a short time. Flowers are gorgeous but do not last very long so how about preserving some of them to enjoy for much longer. You could press some flowers from your wedding bouquet, your anniversary flowers, birthday gift or any other special occasion. I press them from the garden and use them in craft projects later. Use your pressed flowers to make gorgeous cards, gift tags, pictures, bookmarks, tealight holders, etc. Use them as widely as your imagination will allow you to. The flower press used here is one I made and you can see a full tutorial to make your own over on the blog at https://christines-crafts.com/how-to-make-a-flower-press/ I used materials I had available at the time but you would ideally use blotting paper in your flower press. Tips: Use fresh flowers that are in their best condition. Cut thick flowers in half or press separate petals. Press leaves to go with your flowers If using garden flowers pick them in a morning after the dew has dried off
