Pocket Flower Press

Step 5 Nylon strap

Many models of flower presses use bolts and wing nuts on each corner, to press the two pieces of wood together, this works great, but it is not something that you could comfortably stuff into your pocket. Instead, this flower press uses a nylon strap that you can sinch tight.

• Sew one end of the nylon strap around the metal loop.
• Mark on the strap where the velcro(loops) should be and sew in place.
• Find placement of the other velcro piece(hooks) and sew in place.
• Cut off excess nylon, leaving about 2cm from the end of the velcro.
• With a flame singe the end of the nylon to prevent fraying, fold over and sew in place.
