Pocket Flower Press

Step 7 Pressing flowers

• For best results pick the flower/leaf you wish to press in the morning.
• Make sure it is dry, no raindrops or dew on it (or little bugs).
• Place the fresh flower or leaf in a fold of paper.
• If you like you can jot down on the paper it's name and the location it was found.
• Close press and sinch nylon strap as tight as you can.
• You can leave it in the press, or transfer the fold of paper to a phone book when you get home.
• It takes about a week to dry, but it can vary.
• Replace paper as needed.

Be careful when picking wildflowers, there are some restrictions around picking plants in national parks as well as plants that are endangered.
