Pressed flower preservation has occurred for centuries! In early days, Greek and Roman nature enthusiasts would press plants and flowers between paper towel or books. They would place the flower within something for long enough so that over time, it would remain preserved.
Sometimes, these preservations would be hung within frames for decor or studied by botanist and nature lovers alike. Early botanists would construct presses that would have their plant and flowers clippings between pages and held together with bolts and wood so that the plants would stay down. These pressings would later transfer into journals or added to frames for reference.
During the Victorian era, it was extremely common for women to press flowers in between books or simply hang them with twine as decor. This tie to nature led to the making of pressed paper flower.
Drying flowers and mixing them to make paper was ideal for those who wanted to send unique letters or add a stunning statement to a page. Overall, pressed flower paper is an extraordinary product.
There are many ways to dry flowers. Some of the most tried and true ways are:
Microwave: Use cat litter and a microwave to preserve the color and shape of your flowers! Place the flowers in a microwavable bowl, then cover with about 3 to 4 cups of kitty litter. The litter helps with the moisture released from the flowers. Once the litter cools, dust off your dried flowers!
Silica Gel: Whenever you buy particular products like shoes or bags, they usually include silica gel packets. These packets help suck dampness from items. They will also assist in drying your flowers and keeping the color of them intact!
Air Dry: Whether hanging them upside down or keeping them in a dry vase, flowers can air dry to become preserved. Either method will dry out your flowers so that they can be kept for a long time to come.
The most well known way for preserving flowers is by pressing them! Placing them in between thick books and paper towel will allow you to work with the flowers later for crafts and projects.
