Pressed Flowers Picture Frame & Giveaway

I got a couple of these cute little frames from Oliver Bonas in Bristol last week, now it's time to put something pretty in them. (You can win this frame - details are at the end of this post).

It takes weeks to press flowers the proper way - screw that! You Tube and Pinterest obliged with numerous methods of drying flowers in amicrowave instead, so here's my first attempt.

Cut your clean and dry flowers and lay them out on some white paper (they stick to kitchen roll and to each other so space them out) fold the paper over and slide it inside some folded over kitchen roll.

Lay out flowers then fold the paper in half

Slide the paper in between a folded sheet of kitchen roll

I weighed mine down with a flat bottomed ceramic dish but a plate will probably work too

Microwave them in 30 second bursts for about a minute (different flowers will take more or less time - keep an eye on them or they'll start to brown).

Once they're dry and flat you can open up your frames and place them as you please. Close up the frame and the flowers are held in place. That's it. Enjoy 😀
