Question? Do you put the flowers between two pieces of white paper before putting the card board or boards on to press? Or is it only one piece of paper between the cardboard or wood pressing the flowers between paper and wood?
Thanks

Thank you so much for the tutorial on creating a flower press. I’ve been using books for a long time and was thinking I would like to make a press. I’ve also been pressing wildflowers and they are so beautiful. This spring and summer here in Northern California has produced such an abundance of wildflowers.

Thanks for all your wonderful posts.

Hello,

Thanks for the inspiration!!

Do you put a piece of paper under the flowers and on top of the flowers before pressing with the cardboard??

Best,
Cathy

Good morning…when pressing only 1 flower, would I place the flower between 2 pieces of paper with the cardboard on either side of the paper then assemble the press? Its been so many years since I’ve done this…actually the last time was when as a child I thought it would be great idea to press flowers between the pages of our family Bible. Oops! Pretty flowers…very not pretty pages! 🤦‍♀️
Thank you for you site…it’s quite inspiring!

How thick is the wood you used? And what size bolt did you use? I’m planning on making one this week!
