I remember as a little girl collecting all sorts of flowers and leaves and stuffing our old school, massive phone books with them. If I had an Instagram account, I would have definitely posted them on there instead of creating a book! I was never like in school due to my hobbies. I would have so needed to get instagram followers! Haha. those old phone books were ideal for pressing flowers, as you could fill them with quite a collection and the paper was perfect. plus, at our house any way we had a huge stack of yellow pages and white pages.
redtedart has a great tutorial on how to press flowers. it’s really not hard and you don’t need any special equipment, except maybe some patience as the flowers take a few weeks to press and dry properly.
when travelling, i have picked a flower and placed them into the book i have with me. sometimes i have forgotten about them and rediscovered them a while later. what a lovely way to reminisce about an exciting adventure!
I loved pressing flowers as a child! I excited to (a) have a garden with pressable flowers and (b) see Vivian grow big enough to enjoy this.
Thanks for the reminder! I always forget about pressing flowers after the girls return from a walk with many many plant treasures.

Loved doing pressing flower projects as a kid! Great idea! Thank you so much for sharing & linking up at Thank You Honey’s Whatever Wednesday Party!!
Such a sweet project for the little ones. Gotta tweet and pin this. Have a lovely day!!
These are lovely! My girl pressed some flowers earlier this summer, and I haven’t remembered about them till now! Refraining from peeking until the morning…
Can’t wait to try this after our next nature walk 🙂 Michelle
