NCGW Things to do
Flower Pressing
Here’s what you’ll need!
Plenty of time, this will take 2-4 weeks
Colourful flowers
A heavy block such as a house brick
A book with plain white pages
Instructions:
- First, you must dry out your flowers, this also takes time so be sure to pick your flowers in advance
- Simply then align your flowers on the page however you would like them to look, a fun design to do would be to sketch a plant pot and make it look like the flowers are in it
- Carefully close your book and place the heavy weight on top, then leave in a dry corner of your house or shed
- Wait 2 to 4 weeks for the flowers to completely flatten
