Welcome, friends! Today we’re going to show you how to make DIY cards with pressed flowers. It’s a great way to bring the beauty of nature indoors and create something special for a loved one. For this craft, you’ll need some freshly picked flowers, a pressing tool, and some card stock.

To get started, select your flowers carefully. Make sure they are at their peak of beauty and health. Press the flowers with your flower press. I highly recommend a Microfleur microwave flower press for fast, beautiful pressed flowers. Be sure to follow the instructions for best results. Once pressed, arrange the flowers on the card stock however you’d like. You can use white glue or double-sided tape to secure them.

Now it’s time to add a special message! With a pen or marker, write a heartfelt message on the card. You can also use stickers or ribbons to decorate the card.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial on how to make DIY cards with pressed flowers! Have fun being creative and making something special for someone you care about. They make great gifts at mother's day, Christmas, or just because. Thanks for watching and happy crafting!
