A widely used and well known method for drying flowers is pressing. With this method an herb, flower or leaf can be dried flat for pasting or framing (e.g. in a herbarium like we made at school, or on greeting cards or gifts). These traditional presses have a beautiful natural look, are easy to use and have multiple layers of cardboard. The only difference between the two is the way they can be anchored. The screws and straps ensure that everything remains flat and secure.

Did you know that cut flowers and herbs keep their colour much better when hung upside down? Especially with herbs, it is useful to hang them in a dark, warm and well-ventilated place. This allows them to retain their aroma better, which is useful when used in the kitchen. This drying technique has a natural way of drying as well as a decorative function. The rope that you can supply is made of paper and can be used to bundle and hang the cut flowers.

TIP: use hairspray!
By spraying hairspray on the dried flowers, the flowers keep their shape even better and they are also less fragile. The flowers can also be sprayed with a colour when they have turned a little brown, because playfully colored dried flowers also do very well!
