Step 1: Choose and Prepare Your Flowers

Pick fresh flowers or leaves with vibrant colors. Thin flowers like pansies, daisies, and ferns work best. If your flowers are thick, gently split them in half for even drying. Make sure they are dry and free from moisture.

Step 2: Arrange in the Press

  1. Unscrew the wingnuts and remove the top wooden board.
  2. Place a sheet of blotting paper or parchment paper on the bottom layer.
  3. Arrange your flowers in a single layer without overlapping.
  4. Cover them with another sheet of blotting paper and place a cardboard layer on top.
  5. Repeat if your press allows multiple layers.

Step 3: Secure and Press

  1. Place the wooden board back and tighten the wingnuts evenly.
  2. Store the press in a dry place at room temperature.
  3. Wait 2 to 4 weeks for the flowers to fully dry.

Step 4: Remove and Use Your Pressed Flowers

Once your flowers are fully dry, carefully remove them and use them for:

  • Scrapbooking and greeting cards
  • Framed floral art
  • Resin jewelry
  • DIY decorations
