I have been looking around for more outdoors activities then considered flower pressing. This is something that we always used to do as children which I had forgotten how much I enjoyed. We had a wooden flower press which can be purchased from many places. However, I considered making one with Little Boo (an idea that I got from
Pinterest) as well as saving money (always important) the press is more personalised.

| Just needed to cut out five pieces of thick card. We also needed some blotting paper I used some printer paper as there was loads at work in the recycling. |

| It was great as Little Boos Nan did not need these calenders so we had them and cut out some images to make our flower press pretty. |

This is the completed Flower press so easy to make and I think it will be hours of fun! I covered the press with contact paper to neaten the edges down.

This is a wonderful way to get outside together but please check your countries guidelines for picking wild flowers as it may be illegal to pick certain flowers I really would not want anyone getting fined just for trying to do this lovely activity.
