Meyco wooden flower press, 140 × 250 mm

Meyco wooden flower press – press your own flowers and leaves

With the Meyco flower press, you dry flowers, leaves, grasses and small plants flat and keep them for greetings cards, scrapbooking, herbariums or natural decorations. The press consists of two wooden boards measuring 140 × 250 mm, which you clamp together with a screw fitting.

The handy size suits small flowers and leaves. Once the plants are dry, you can empty the press and reuse it for many years.

How to press flowers and leaves

Choose plants that are as dry and flat as possible and smaller than the boards. It is best to press thick flowers lightly beforehand or cut them apart. Place the plants between two layers of absorbent paper, leaving a little space between them, put everything between the wooden boards and tighten the screws evenly. The moisture is drawn into the paper, so it is worth changing the paper after a few days. Leave the press in a dry, warm place until the plants are completely dry. This usually takes several weeks.
