Making Flower Lanterns 🌸 | Pressed Flower Craft

I am throwing my first even garden party for my friends and I want to make pressed flower lanterns to decorate and give away as gifts!

This is a super simple project you can do with any pressed flowers or leaves from your garden.

I like your hat, perfect for protection, garden party and suits you.👏😍 As a crazy person, I would add some flowers.😀

[@ChicagoGardener]

Oh this is a fantastic idea and I definitely need to do this!!

[@KathleenJacobs-k6y]

The hat looks good

I love these!!!

Hi! I like the hat, you need good coverage from the sun for sure. I really liked this project, very pretty. I'm a paper crafter and a suggestion I thought of for your dried flowers is to laminate them (on low heat of course). You could cut them out individually to place around a frame or laminate a bunch on a sheet to create a journal cover or inserts for a garden album. Have a fun party!

I love this idea! I have a garden journal I’ve dried gluing dried flowers to and it hasn’t worked very well but laminating them would be a great solution! Is there any certain type of lamination paper I need to use?

i am left handed, too! I love your new hat,

Girl that hat looks adorable on you! Honestly I think you could pull off a helmet if you wanted too 😂. Take it from me your older self will be grateful you protected your face! Fun project today I plan on trying it.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you!! I wish my 20 year old self cared as much about sun protection as I do in my 30s 😆

I would like a video on how you collect/press your flowers.🙂

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’ll definitely do that! I press a lot of flowers in fall.

[@midsouthhomestead7527]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@vircingitorixknightingale]

hat is never too big.
Anything to protect yourself from the sun (skin cancer) is always a good thing.
Infact, go even bigger

[@ChicagoGardener]

Each year my hats just keep getting bigger!

[@shyamasaba2341]

Very beautiful ❤

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you!!

[@midsouthhomestead7527]

I like the hat.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you! The size has grown on me.

[@StacyV-du7yw]

Love these!!! Where do you get those beautiful jars? What size are they please?

[@ChicagoGardener]

They are yogurt jars from amazon! I just added the link to the description.

[@rosannaosborne9174]

[@ChicagoGardener]

I used gloss but now that you say that I want to try it with mat as well!
