DIY Pressed Flower Art Shopping List and Online Course
My Modern Met has published a shopping list for DIY pressed flower art, categorizing supplies into four groups: flowers and plant materials, pressing equipment, optional helpful items, and displays. Common blooms include roses, daisies, hydrangeas, and baby's breath. Pressing can be done with a heavy book or a dedicated flower press, using blotting paper and cotton rounds. Optional items include a wooden press, silica gel packets, and tweezers. For display, picture frames, cardstock, and craft glue are recommended. An online class, 'Beyond Bouquets: Turning Pressed Flowers Into One-of-a-Kind Art,' is available on My Modern Met Academy to learn techniques.
