Flowers to press for crafts
Do you press flowers to make crafts with? I start pressing flowers from early spring until the frost takes all the flowers away in fall.
It’s a perfect way to still enjoy flowers from your garden in the middle of winter.
Here’s a list of flowers I will press a lot of:
•Pansies/violas
•Daisies (small rudbeckia flowers)
•Cosmos
•Queen Anne’s lace
•Baby’s breath
•Chrysanthemum
•Celosia
•Calendula
•Leaves
•Herbs/ herb flowers
•Fern leaves
This year I’d like to try:
•poppies
•roses
•lavender
Remember: For best results, press flowers immediately after picking while they are healthy and have no damage.
