Description
Create beautiful keepsakes using pressed flowers and pink bioplastic for a unique, eco-friendly craft experience.
Ingredients
- Fresh flowers (e.g., daisies, lavender, or roses)
- Bioplastic sheets (pink or your preferred color)
- Flower press or heavy books
- Scissors
- Craft knife
- Cutting mat
- Parchment or wax paper
- Tweezers
- Optional: Clear resin (for added durability)
Instructions
- Prepare the Flowers: Choose vibrant blooms; avoid wilting or damaged petals. Place flowers between parchment or wax paper and use a flower press or heavy books. Leave for at least 1-2 weeks until completely dried.
- Cut Bioplastic: Once flowers are dried, cut the bioplastic sheet to your desired shape using scissors. Utilize a craft knife for intricate designs on thicker sheets.
- Arrange the Flowers: Carefully arrange pressed flowers on the bioplastic. Use tweezers to position smaller pieces delicately.
- Seal the Keepsake: Place another bioplastic sheet on top, sandwiching the flowers. Follow the bioplastic manufacturer’s instructions to seal the pieces together; a low-heat iron works well.
- Cool and Finish: Once sealed, allow it to cool completely. Trim any excess plastic for a neat finish.
