Description
This flower press is handmaded from wood with a wing-based closing system.
Dimensions: 17 x 17 cm. High press: 7.5 cm
Contains several layers of high quality carton boards and blotting paper to facilitate the drying process. If you want to add more layers you can make them yourself by reusing newspapers, also perfect for its great absorbent power.
THE STEPS TO USE THE PRESS ARE VERY SIMPLE:
Place the flowers between the different layers of paper and cardboard. Close the press by tightening the wing nuts and making sure that the pressure is even.
The drying time of each flower will be variable, that is why there is no fixed drying time, but it is recommended to keep them at least between 2 and 3 weeks without opening the press.
Once the flowers are dry, you can open the press and carefully remove the plants. Help yourself with tweezers if necessary.
Let the blotting paper air dry completely before using it again.
