Flower Press ~ Assemble and Design your own !!
Not to boast or anything, but the quality of materials of this flower press is Heirloom. It is far better than anything you can buy on Amazon or Etsy or anywhere else we've found, and they can be passed down generationally along with the love of this gorgeous past time of collecting and drying flowers and herbs and leaves. You’ll make your own personalized flower press from precut 12” X 12” , 3/4 inch plywood, with four 8” bolts and wingnuts for maximized space and easy opening/closure. You’ll start right in designing your press; whether by Painting, doing decoupage, using fabric to cover, stenciling or stamping, then applying a finish to your one of a kind beauty. You’ll then shape corrugated cardboard as layers for your press and finally you’ll assemble and be on your way to pressing countless layers of gorgeous flowers, freshly picked for 3 seasons by you ! Never throw away your store bought bouquets either or those fleeting annuals. You'll find it hard to drive past a field of wildflowers without stopping to save some. The sky's the limit !!
