Make an Upcycled Flower Press

Building a flower press may sound complex, especially with the need for cutting and drilling wood, but this version uses materials you’re more likely to already have on hand. By upcycling an old, damaged book, along with some cardboard, printer paper, and simple hardware, you’ll be able to make a functional flower press for practically no cost. Preserving flowers this way is a timeless art form, allowing you to save botanicals from meaningful moments and transform them into lasting keepsakes. This class emhasizes building the press but Cobrina will cover pressing the flowers as well. Learn how to:

• Deconstruct an old book to make a flower press
• Choose hardware and paper for press
• Press and use flowers
