As we enjoy beautiful fall days, this is a good time to gather blooms, petals, leaves and vines from the garden. Each year I do this starting with the first flowers in spring and continuing well into fall and until the first frost.
Why gather flowers? These can be pressed and, when it's hard getting out-of-doors, you'll have a supply of natural materials for craft projects.
I like to make pressed flower cards and small pictures as gift items, which are perfect to give out around the holidays. I'm thinking of using pansies and then fixing them to trays and sealing them in for a lovely effect.
If you've seen those lovely pressed flower cards and have always wanted to try your hand at making your own items using pressed flowers, read on to learn how to press flowers for craft projects.
