The Pressed Flower Project

Pressed flowers to add to your letter writing

 
I was shocked to see how paper thin the Hydrangeas became...so delicate and the color was retained so vibrantly.  I hope I can do more of these this year.


Bachelor Buttons are my absolute favorite wild flower...especially the pink ones.  Out here in the country we mainly have the blue ones.    I'm not sure what the little white flowers are, but they are so sweet!


Daffodil, crocus  


I usually place my pressed flowers inside the letter folded up, but I have tried this arrangement and rather like it.

This turned out nice with the gold doily and the gold wax seal,,,with a purple crocus.  It is so sweetly old fashioned, and just nostalgic.  I love the effect.


Write Letters,
Write Often.

  2. I dry flowers and have thought of adding them to my letters but never did. Did you glue them down or just place them in loose? They really are a nice touch.

    1. I just put them in the letters loose. But I have also done some bookmarks with the dried flowers...and they turn out lovely!
