Dried & Pressed Flowers

storing pressed flowers

22 years ago

I really got into pressing flowers several years ago. I had several presses full of stuff. I tried pressing whatever I could fine. The problem I got into was how do I store all these beautiful flowers once they are pressed. I tried small gift boxes, with some tissue paper. After a while the flowers would get all messed up in there. I'd like to try it again sometime, so if anyone would share your ideas , that would be great.

Thanks, Susan

Susan,
I store my pressed flowers in the magic cling pages that come with the 3 ring binder photo albums.I think they used to call them magnetic photo albums. I have used these for the last couple of years. The cling pages hold the flowers in place and they stay nice. I keep all the pages in the 3 ring binder, you can then just flip through the binder and see what you have. I buy the binder at the dollar store for $5.00 and it comes with 50 pages. Hope this helps.
