I'm going to sound like a total Granny but one of my fave things to do is press flowers! I have a scrap book with loads of different pressed beauties in that I'll probably share it with you soon.
There are loads of different crafts you can do with pressed flowers but I thought I'd spice it up from your usual photo-frames and trinket boxes and add some pretty, pink, pressed flowers to an old pair of sunglasses:
What You Need: Sunnies (obvs!) - These are from ASOS about 3 years ago. Clear drying craft glue Masking tape (I used Washi Tape) to cover the frames Small brush... |
First up add a thin layer of glue to the corners where you wanna put the flowers. |
Then I used the tip of my finger to just gently drop the flowers on. |
The finished product! |
In other great news I FINALLY get to announce that I am the now blogger in residence for beauty and lifestyle for St.Davids Center Cardiff - you can see more updates about this if you follow their twitter - @StDavidsCardiff. I'm super excited to be working with such a great team and writing about exciting things in my City!
Hope your week is going swimmingly.

This is such a wonderful and creative idea. I haven't pressed flowers for YEARS. I used to do it all the time as a kid. I'm going to find my old book now I've seen this post, wherever it may be.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the blogging gig.

This is such a clever idea! I tried pressing flowers when I was younger but I wasn't very patient. Plus I tried to press a whole red rose (from my first boyfriend, naturally) and it it made the photo album I'd tried to press it in go mouldy. Not cool.
ReplyDeleteWow such a nice DIY :)
ReplyDeletecoolness!
ReplyDeleteI love DIYs.. and congrats on being a new blogger on that site.. will check it out.. take care!
these are amazing! unfortunately I am useless at art and crafts but these look fab!
