Product Information

Pressing flowers is a beautiful way of preserving summer blooms. Some great craft projects you can make with pressed flowers include:

It's important to get the holes lined up so that the bolts will go smoothly through both pieces of wood. A flower press also does a great job of pressing flowers, looks pretty and there's not much chance of losing your flowers or forgetting where they are! This homemade flower press makes the most wonderful gift. A diy flower press is a special gift for just about everyone!These items contain layers of paper held between two sturdy wooden boards, commonly held together by bolts and wing nuts, cord, or elastic straps. The washer will help to prevent gouging and wearing away of the wood over time. It will also help to enable the function of the press to compress the flowers tighter. The Max Microfleur microwave flower press kit works like a charm! And it’s so easy to use: just set your flowers on the press, seal it, and pop it into your microwave for a few minutes. And bam — vibrant, dried flowers at your service! This flower press is flexible as far as individualizing the size, to meet your flower pressing needs.

I sometimes find the commercial flower press kits are not quite as sturdy as those of the diy presses. A medium sized press, which is what I made, would be about a 12″ by 12″ sized press. This size is very manageable and easy to carry around. You’ll also get an illustrated, step-by-step handbook with instructions in English — even though this item is shipped from Madrid, Spain. This press also makes for an appealing decorative piece, definitely beating your typical DIY book-pile press! Much like the book-press method, a homemade or store-bought wooden flower press can give you fabulous results. (Plus, you can decorate a wooden press or customize it to match your style-BONUS!)
