This topic divides into two sections: How to press flowers and What to use them for!

Try pressing your own flowers

Bloggers disclosure | Custom bouquets

Hi I’m Ruth – I love writing about plants, nature, dried flowers, wildflowers and crafts. You can find out more about me here.

I have run a dried flower and lavender business in the UK since 2002. This means I am experienced in dried flower craft, but also am biased towards my own products – I can’t help but be proud of what I do! Find out more about Daisy Gifts Ltd® at our sister site daisyshop.co.uk

Thanks very much to all the lovely people who ask about buying custom handmade arrangements and bouquets – I’m afraid I don’t offer this service anymore, but we do sell the flowers you need to make your own.
