    I've been playing around with pressing flowers and I've discovered that the best method (for amateurs) is to take books without glossy paper (the best is paper that's like construction paper), fold one or two pieces of printer paper in half and put the flowers and petals in the sandwich of paper, then put the sandwich in the center of the book. I've tried just stacking books but oddly, I discovered that I got the best results by putting the thin books (with flowers) under my mattress, laying over the boards of the box frame. Then, every day or two I take the book out and carefully take the paper sandwich out (do not open it until the flowers are dry, if the paper feels damp or cold they are not dry) and carefully I put it in the center of another book and put it under my bed again. I let the first book dry out then I repeat this process until they are dry. I've found doing this method will dry them out faster and keep their colour much better. Note, this will warble the pages of the book and likely also stain them. I've also noticed that having stems or the bases of the flowers (the head) will make them less likely to keep their colour as they dry. Either it's because too much liquid or potentially the plant is sucking the moisture back into the stem and it takes longer to dry. I've given up trying to press some flowers with their stems because of this. Once the plants are dried, you can remove the plants with one of two methods I use: you can press your finger pad against the pressed plant for a few seconds then lift your finger and hopefully the pressing comes with it. If it doesn't you can gently press down on it and slowly twist (but stop if it's bunching up). If this method doesn't work, gently bend the paper they're attached to. If a portion of the plant disconnects from the page, use your finger to gently flick it and it should fall off. Store them out of moisture and sunlight, laying them flat.

    Hello..I've been planning on sandwiching dried flowers between two panes of glass for a while - I went to view a business unit yesterday & realised just how good it would be for pressing & making flower pics, because of how much natural light flooded in. So I did a quick search to see if anyone else had thought about it & I was a tad surprised to see you had already started creating frames in the same way using glass..well done you😉
    But I was also happy😊 for you!
    I've learned lots from watching your videos - a big thank you for that👍you have saved me so much trial & error👏

    Very nice. Glad you could make a biz out of it. A couple things, drying with wax or parchment paper, folded in half and put in a book works faster and better for color. Soooo many flowers lose color with your method. Taking out the middle of a large flower is GENIUS, thank you!
    There is also a microwave flower press sold that works very well. For fading flower.... a question below... many od the water based art ink sprays work well, "Tint It" Spray works well.
    Hydrangeas... you can seperate each flowerette and just leave alone to dry... actually, my plants died while still in the ground. They were perfect, no pressing and they dry in exact same shape as the live flower. Then spray with art ink & you have a beautiful bowl, vase, flower box, etc. I happened to find the ones I had pulled out & kept that I was always going to do something with someday... and now is my favorite flower to work with.

    Have you tried using a Microfleur microwave flower press? Many white flowers come out whiter when pressed in it. Also, some other flowers do better in it, while some do better in the press you use. It may be something to experiment with and may give you a broader option of flowers you can use in your art.

There was this one time, where I need to take the dry flowers out of the dustbin, just because I could not stand them be thrown away. I live in a type of desert so I do not think my flower busnes will survive because people have very little to survive on. But I really love pressing flowers, it makes me happy so I will make sure that I will be the best in my business.

    Any tips for pressing marigolds? Marigold will be our new baby girls middle name so we would like to make some pressed flower art for her nursery!

    You’re such a lovely person. You valued something so much and immortalised it. That’s beautiful ❤️ Love your story and your art ❤️ I think I will do the same after I get married ❤️

    Is there a non-toxic, low VOC spray for flowers that fade easily? My yellows fade fast.
