How to Use a Flower Press
1. To assemble the press, insert a bolt into each corner of the bottom piece of the press. Layer alternate pieces of cardboard, paper, and flowers or leaves inside the press. The number of layers you use will depend on how many flowers you are pressing.
2. Place the top piece of wood onto the press by threading the bolts through the holes. Add a washer to each bolt, then top with a wing nut, screwing each one down tight, creating even pressure.
3. Let Your Flowers Dry In The Press For One Month!
4. This part requires some patience. Allow your flowers to press, undisturbed, for a full 30 days. If you can’t stand it any longer and want to take a peek sooner, just be extremely careful because checking them too early can result it tearing or wrinkling your flowers!

Flower Pressing Tips
- Harvest flowers for pressing on dry days. The best time to collect flowers is mid morning after the morning dew has dried.
- Get your picked flowers into the press as soon as possible, before they start to wilt, and keep them out of direct sunlight.
- Sort your flowers by type and then place them face down into the press. Grouping like flowers together is best because they will dry at the same rate.
- Make sure the flowers do not touch each other in the press. Otherwise as they dry they will become stuck together forever.
