Pressing flowers preserves their color, shape, and delicate detail so you can use them in cards, frames, bookmarks, journals, and resin art. Here's what to press, when, and how.
Pansies & Violas
Naturally flat-faced flowers that press almost perfectly. Hold their color for years.
Cosmos
Thin, flat petals press flat in a few days. Pink, white, magenta varieties hold up best.
Queen Anne's Lace
Lacy white clusters look stunning pressed. Common roadside flower — just confirm before picking.
Ferns & Leaves
Maidenhair fern, eucalyptus, autumn leaves. Press very fast and add greenery to any composition.
Daisies (small)
Small daisies and chamomile press beautifully flat. Larger varieties need extra weight.
Lavender
Stems with buds press beautifully and keep their gentle purple. Bonus: lasting scent.
Roses
Take petals apart and press individually, or press whole small buds. Whole open roses are difficult — they're too thick.
Tulips
Cut the bloom in half lengthwise before pressing — they're too rounded to press whole. The half-blossom shape is beautiful.
Hydrangea
Press individual florets, not the whole cluster. They're thin but you need lots for full effect.
Sunflowers (small)
Small/dwarf varieties only. Center of bloom is thick — use the microwave method for best results.
Avoid pressing: succulents, lilies, daffodils, dahlias (too thick or fleshy — they'll mold instead of dry).
