Today we are trying a new project involving pressed flowers from our garden and the florist. We received a kit from a Japanese publisher, inspired by Japanese crafts. We will demonstrate how to use the kit to press flowers and we have our old book press to who off.
We will discuss different methods and materials, including fabric layers and placing flowers for pressing. We show our progress and discuss potential ways to use the pressed flowers for artistic creations.
We are not sure about what type of gluing techniques and would love some suggestions from you.

What a wonderful way to preserve the beauty of your garden! Thank you for showing us!!💖🤗

@hollyrust2174 Год назад

What a ZEN episode. Loved it and how you quietly work together to create, very inspiring!

@catnapper3923 Год назад

I grew up pressing flowers - in telephone books, as I remember, but often I will open up a big heavy book and find a long-ago present , long-ago forgotten. Xx

@cristinaslaughter6025 Год назад

❤ A wonderful way to preserve the beauties of Spring! Framed, they make lovely gifts. What calm is achieved in the process! Freja had to get in on the fun!❤

@susanteminsky1078 Год назад

Always a fun time with you, learning about more crafts!

What a beautiful press! Lucky find! I made a press out of long threaded bolts plywood and wing nuts. Used newspaper from end rolls (no ink). Pressed native plants for the display at the Lewis and Clark travel event. Our country had historical events that followed their travel and ended at the West Coast on Columbia River. It as fun. We also used live native plants to build an in door forest with pond and cattails. No frogs darn! Watching your flowers pressing was fun.

The old press is beautiful all by itself. I used to press flowers in the encyclopedia.

@laurelrobbins8673 Год назад

I bought a used book a while ago and got a lovely surprise - there was a pressed flower in the book! So thrilled!

@crystalwright1504 Год назад

What fun! My granddaughter and I did some flower pressing this summer. In North America, paper crafters and quilters(especially those who do English Paper Piecing) often use a craft glue that comes in a bottle with a needle tip that can place a tiny drop of glue. That might work. Have fun!!!

@kathieklee3903 Год назад

Thank you for another enjoyable episode. And for showing Freya at the end. And the lake and trees in the background - so beautiful and soothing!

@jukes243 Год назад

WOW! Heaven - Will You Be Going There? (Jack Hibbs). Thanks boys for another great vid. I have always loved pressed (and dried) flowers. They look so beautiful in my handmade cards.

@ARNECARLOS Год назад

That is a great use for them!

@yankeesny80 Год назад

I love Arne's idea of drawing the stems. You both arrange the petals and leaves in different way which are both beautiful.

@nicolelafontaine1720 Год назад

It lokks a bit cold and windy in Norway today. Looking forward to see what you will do with the pressed flowers.

@salliestewart5125 Год назад

Enjoyed the flower pressing!

@HennyPennyrobinson56 Год назад

I’ve recently watched a video where the artist pressed a variety of flowers, onto fabric, to create delicate floral designs-that they were going to use in a dress. Lovely creative and fun to experiment with! Thank you for sharing your curiosity and process.

@sphinx4725 Год назад

I have Google Translate installed on my phone and if I go to my camera and point the camera at foreign language text, it will automatically translate it for me. Might be worth a try, if you need to understand the Japanese.

@cbjones2212 Год назад

Oh! I wish I had known that about the camera on a recent trip to Vietnam. Google translate was invaluable for translating voice but using the camera for text would have been amazing!

@tinas7046 Год назад

Arne is a great teacher…..you both have an eye for beauty……gorgeous backdrop for a day of play..

@tinamay5211 Год назад

HI Guys loving the new tutorial,Carlos i hope your feeling ok,you seem so down,and quiet hugs xx

@user-ub2mu6iz5y Год назад

Cheer up, Carlos. ♥

@lynnbean7200 Год назад

Thanks for showing us an interesting new craft. Arne you're so talented - it amazes me how you can turn your hand to anything and it immediately looks great.

@irenemacleod5140 Год назад

I enjoyed the pressed flower lesson todY I am going to do some I have a idea to do with them I will try and show you when I get it done thank you take care

@jenniferjohnson9335 Год назад

I feel like Arne was more "in charge" in this episode. Love the way he built up the rose--that is amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product at some point. You do a great job of reusing or upcycling those old patterns. Maybe spray the paper with the spray glue, then stick on your flowers? Thank you for sharing this!

@cbjones2212 Год назад

Oh my gosh, your book press is gorgeous. I've been looking for one for years but their so expensive now! Finding one in an obscure flea market is a dream. I've not been a big fan of pressed flowers in the past but this video might just change my mind 💌💮

@user-rl7tx9kp9l Год назад

Always enjoy your creative sessions and learnt a lot at 73 years. This is very useful to see how you do it properly. We used the telephone directory to press and dry the flowers when I was young!!! Alta in South Africa,

@judyp9985 Год назад

Arne you are so talented in everything you try!!

@marilyn9155 Год назад

This was delightful to watch. Beautiful Flower art! Marilyn D. xx Nj USA

@MusicManiac991 Год назад

In my experience many pressed flower artists use a product called Mod Podge matte glue. It is widely used for decoupage as well. Whether or not it's available Norway is another thing.

@ingridibBerland Год назад

Thank you for showing another new hobby. Love it. The flowers can be used in so many prodjects

@marciasullivan7534 Год назад

I love pressing my herb garden plants each year as a memory of what I planted

@janecornell4890 Год назад

Wow! Very Nice! I love the pansies. Arne can do everything, including building flowers! Recently I received a bouquet of flowers with roses. I immediately went to the roses to smell them. They had no fragrance. I was so disappointed. I had the real thing but need my hand cream to enjoy the scent......only in today's world!

@maryanncasale87 Год назад

How lovely! This looks like another great hobby! Thank you! ❤

@Ladythyme Год назад

I do them more simply, I put them between two pieces of parchment paper and put them in a book with weights on top..l they come out great after drying for some time

@marciasullivan7534 Год назад

Love this!

@sheilamann6721 Год назад

Fascinating . Thankyou. I call them snow storm hobbies for when we are storm stayed!❤

@HeatherHeld Год назад

Beautiful episode!!! I loved seeing the rose being assembled. Thank you both. Sending hugs your way!!!

@bluegrassdreams2seams510 Год назад

Apparently you can use Elmers glue or mod-podge glue; these dry clear. Also be careful to not use too much. Perhaps a small paint brush to control amount. There are videos on this online. I love how Arne arranged the rose. I’ve only pressed flowers a few times. I do love the ability to save to colors of spring and summer blooms. Last summer I did botanical printing on fabric. Alum has to be apprised to paper or fabric. It is also a layering process, but the results are beautiful! Sometimes I was surprised by the colors I got once removed from the heated press.

@sandrazboinski6473 Год назад

How fun. I have some pressed flowers from my wedding flowers. I am inspired to create something with them. Thanks 🙃🌼

@annanicholson6925 Год назад

What a fun project. Loved seeing Freya...and I do miss Helmar.

@cathyfield4765 Год назад

Your press is amazing! I have a small 5" x5" press Thai is two pieces of wood with long screws in the corners that have wingnuts to tighten for pressure. The layers of flowers and paper are separated by cardstock. That does well with small flowers. The big book is my go to for large blooms.

@elizabethamis9376 Год назад

You two are so entertaining! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset, UK

@aliciaquintano6506 Год назад

So glad this was taped since I worried the flowers went into the oven! Yikes! I just had a moment to become a member to thank you for the videos I've watched over the years. Looking forward to figuring out how to use my "Freja" emoji. She's such a dear.

@julbea Год назад

This is awesome timing as I just found my flower press and want to get some garden flowers ready to dry for specimen cards. Then will attach them to card fronts & make greeting cards.

@lisajahn6839 Год назад

Thank you for making and sharing this lovely episode!

@tl4214 Год назад

I love to learn more crafts from Arne + Carlos! Your flowers are really beautiful, and that poppy!?! 🥰 I hope one of your phones offers translate via the camera app. I found this most helpful. In adding the flowers, the glue might make it more difficult to control both the glue on the flowers and where the glue ends up. I think the flowers stayed in place by the pressing itself into the paper. Hope the company has a Contact listed and you can ask them questions via email. Can't wait to see more from this craft!

@michelemurnane2834 6 месяцев назад

I hope you record when you are on your cruise.

@blasebaker Год назад

Thank you guys. Great idea of pressed flowers.

@karentoynton8948 Год назад

Like the flowers your pressing. I think they will look nice .our granddaughter at uni does design work and she would use a laminator the sheets you would melt seal them in place.

@davidhensley76 Год назад

I've pressed flowers in a heavy book between sheets of waxed paper.

@TheHawkeyeQuilter Год назад

Hey guys! Looking forward to watching this video. Think you may be interested in this project we made years ago -- a pressed flower side table: purchased 4 precut round wood pieces about 2 ft wide and 3 wooden legs from home improvement store, cut out pages from a garden magazine and decoupaged the tops and sides of 2 of them (1 for the base, 1 for the top), attached the base to the legs, set some white butcher paper on top of the base for flowers to lie on, covered with another piece of butcher paper, set the first plain round wood piece on top of that, then repeat w/ as many round pieces you want, and place the 2nd (and final) round decoupaged wood piece on top. I should have thought to use white/cream cotton fabric instead of paper to get a nature print on the fabric to use in a project. Blessings!

@debbiewedoe2564 Год назад

Beautiful flowers.

@sjgriebling Год назад

So timely! I just went out and pulled some fern and fig and pressed them between white paper. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out. 🎉

@paigemcmasters6520 Год назад

I love pressing flowers! Its so creative!

@KarynMolines Год назад

I have used white glue (Elmers in the US) just a dot, applied with a toothpick is all you need. And when drying, it's removing moisture rather than air. Any moisture will result in moldy flowers.

@shannongragujhhjkbnkjnjjvh5671 Год назад

Wonderful guys

@Darleen-jw1io Год назад

I apply dots of Elmers glue with a toothpick to the backside of the flower petal or stem.

@dianepaulin5324 Год назад

Acid free tape is best for pressed/dried flowers. Otherwise they deteriorate quickly. ❤

@nancywagner1510 Год назад

Loved the caution: “Don’t do this at home!” I hope you have resolved the oven question by now; is this why you have to remodel your kitchen? NOT meant to go in the oven? Do let us know! I was given a kit rather like yours and I put some flowers in it, but, here’s my inner Arne coming out, I can’t seem to locate it…..

@lifeofjoy9404 Год назад

Oh, dear, fellas!!😮 I believe those air-tight plastic bags are to be used for storing your dried flowers, NOT for the drying process itself! Moisture from the plant materials MUST be allowed to escape, so unless those bags are made from some kind of totally breatheable, new-fangled plastic, take your flowers out of the bags right away! Why? 1) Pressure via your book press, a pile of books or bricks, or a heavy cast iron skillet flattens the plant matter, which releases moisture; 2) Moisture from that plant matter is gradually absorbed by the paper products; 3) The moisture moves to the edges of the paper where it evaporates. Think of how fire wood must be properly stacked in order to dry - and remain so: Gaps are left between logs and between rows of stacked wood to permit air flow, and moisture thus evaporates. REMOVE the pressed flowers from their sealed bags or you will have a mess of stinky, gooey, anaerobic slime instead of pretty flowers.🤢🤮 This advice is being sent with much love from a plant-pressing, devoted fan of yours.😇🤓

@KathrynRose-schultz-qs6qw Год назад

Those packets that you find in shoe boxes to keep things dry will dry flowers.

@margaretmartin6620 Год назад

Would a UHU glue stick work? This looks like a very fun and creative hobby.

@marieeaton-smith5168 Год назад

How long did you leave the petals inside the bag to dry please?

@laurieklem7051 Год назад

How did you make it thru the storm? No leaks or drips or disasters? xo

Why am I not surprised that Carlos can read Chinese? Amazing

@cbjones2212 Год назад

I'm pretty sure the 'oven' in the instructions is a microwave. I've seen tutorials that use the microwave to speed up the drying process.
