Flower Press – Compact Brass Press with Ten Reusable Blotter Sheets

Flower Press – Small enough for a coat pocket, made for what you find on a walk

A handmade press measuring 35 by 50 mm, with a silver body and brass detailing, for flattening small blooms, leaves and petals. Ten reusable blotter sheets are included, so you can run several pressings before you need anything else. It is small enough to carry on a walk and use where you pick.

Why choose a mini flower press?

Flowers put between the pages of a book usually end up forgotten and stuck to the paper. A press gives them even pressure and a blotter that draws out moisture, which is what keeps the color. At this size it travels with you, so the flower goes in within minutes of being picked.

• 35 x 50 mm format — sized for single blooms, petals and small leaves.
• Ten blotter sheets — reusable herbarium paper for repeat pressing rounds.
• Silver and brass build — handmade, so the detailing varies slightly from piece to piece.
• Truly portable — fits in a coat pocket, so it comes along on the walk.
• Nine motif styles — from clover leaf and sunflower to violet and forget-me-not.

A pocket-sized way to keep a good afternoon.

Lay the flower flat between two blotter sheets, close the press and tighten it evenly rather than all at once on one side. Most thin petals are done in a week or two, thicker blooms take longer. Change the blotter sheets if they feel damp and let them dry before the next round.
