Flower Pressing

Flower Pressing

Min number of participants 1

Safety support by adult Not required
Min duration 20 min.
Cost None (Free)
Environment Indoor / Outdoor

Collect fresh flowers and foliage, arrange them flat between absorbent paper, and press them under weight for weeks until they dry into preserved botanical specimens — pressed flowers can then be mounted in frames, incorporated into cards, or used to decorate journals and notebooks.

The Essentials

  • Pick flowers at midday when they're driest, avoiding morning dew
  • Choose flat, thin blooms since thick or fleshy flowers press poorly
  • Layer flowers between absorbent paper, not directly on wooden press boards
  • Change the blotting paper after a few days to prevent mold
  • Leave flowers pressed for at least two weeks for full drying
