'Tis the Season...for Plant Presses

There are many fine posts and tutorials about how to make these simple plant presses - try here, here or for a little more hi-tech, here - so I'll just show ours being put to good use...





P.S. - they're easy to make and use - cardboard, newspaper, rubberbands - add some embellishments and contact paper if you like (Eliza's is a bit fancier than this one).

That is plain eerie! Yesterday, Ani and I went in tot he yard collecting plant press items! We also had fun identifying the various plants I've left in the press form years gone by. Nasturtiums, cosmos, fall eaves....
