We are just starting to see those first spring flowers emerging through the ground. Collect some of those pretty early blooms to create this lovely pressed flower art for your home.

Pressed Flower Art

This has truly been a long winter. We are so ready to see the colorful, fragrant flowers in our gardens. Around our area of southern Canada, crocuses, pansies, and bluebells are some of the first ones to appear in spring. It reminds us of this beautiful sun print wall art!

Last year around this time I collected some of the blooms and placed them in between the pages of a book. I recently came across them and decided it was about time they get displayed! With the help of a floating frame from the craft store and a gold paint pen, I was able to create this lovely piece of spring wall art for my home.

We love to use natural supplies for crafting and you can find nature inspired tutorials on our blog including floral resin jewelry and plenty of creative driftwood crafts.

Supplies Needed for Making Pressed Flower Art

  • pressed flowers such as pansies, daisies, ferns
  • floating photo frame
  • hot glue gun and clear glue sticks
  • gold paint pen
  • “Bloom where you are Planted” template (optional)

How to press flowers:

There are a number of ways to press flowers. The simplest, however, is to place the blooms on some absorbent paper and press them between the pages of a heavy book. Make sure that your flowers aren’t too thick (they may get moldy). Leave to dry for 2-3 weeks.

Once you have your pressed flowers, disassemble the photo frame and clean glass on both sides. Let dry completely.

Turn the frame face down. Starting with the larger pieces, arrange the leaves face down onto the glass.

Fill in spaces with smaller flowers. Continue until you’re happy with the arrangement.

Use a very small amount of hot glue to secure the pressed flowers into place. If you skip this step the pieces will slide around between the plates and glass.

Once you’re happy with your floral arrangement reassemble the frame.

Turn the frame right side up. Trace a favorite phrase onto the glass using a gold paint pen.

Either create your own phrase or grab the “Bloom where you are Planted” template available on our blog. Let try.

That’s it! You have a beautiful new floral arrangement to enjoy before the real ones start to bloom. You can enjoy this display year-round or change out the spring pressed flowers for summer ones in a couple of months.
