MODERN BOTANICALS

Individually pressed petals line a simple wooden tray, creating a lovely backdrop for serving guests. Creative freedom is in your hands to organise and lay out each petal as you see fit, resulting in a one of a kind serving piece. Keep it simple, or create many layers of petals, flowers, botanicals, and/ or other paraphernalia. There’s no shortage of ideas!

Steps

Follow the same process as the Botanical Art. Cover with a piece of glass to further protect the flowers, and for ease of cleaning.

Tray

Purchased from Michael’s.

Glass

We took our tray to a glass shop and had them cut it to size. It was quite affordable at a cost of $17.00!

TIP

Flower pressing is also a forgiving craft, making it a great way to create something without the intimidation of making a mistake.

Note

Fading is a natural occurrence when pressing flowers, as you can see in the colour difference between the fresh and pressed petals.
