Just when you're enjoying your special flowers the most they start to curl at the edges and look less than beautiful. If you pick just the odd flower head or leaves or both just as they are looking their best, pop them in the press and you can continue to enjoy them for years later.
Whether someone special has bought you a bunch of flowers of you're a keen gardener, it's an easy way to create beautiful lay flat arrangements which can be hung on the wall or kept in an album. It may be a flower from your wedding bouquet, a special birthday bunch, a Mother's Day bunch from your darling little ones or perhaps even a flower from the day you laid a loved one to rest.
This is a simple press to use: just undo the wing nuts on the underside to open the press and access the cardboard dividers. Inside each divider is a couple of sheets of kraft brown recycled paper to pop your blooms into. When you're done, simply pop the base back on and tighten the wing nuts until you feel some resistance.
The style of the print on the press is that of a bold, single, monochromatic style flower . It's a bold and contemporary design, which wouldn't look odd displayed on a shelf or desk.
Most flowers and leaves will be pressed and ready in 3-4 weeks but will last a lifetime once dry and flat.
