This hand-crafted flower press makes it easy to preserve your favorite botanical finds. Just place blooms and leaves between the pages, secure them with the wingnuts, and let them dry.

How to use: On a dry day, collect your flowers, petals, leaves, and stems. Place flora down on a piece of the paper and cut any flower stems behind the head. Try to avoid overlapping the plant materials. Place another piece of paper on top of the plant material and sandwich between two pieces of the corrugated card. Build up layers of pressings using all the card and paper supplied, then add the wooden lid and secure with the wing nuts. Once home, leave to dry in a warm, dry place. Different flora take different lengths of time to dry, so check on progress periodically. Flora are ready when they are fully dry and become stiff.
