Best DIY Pressed Flower Crafts

Flower Coasters

Are you a lover of coasters? Then if you’re up for a quick DIY, you might want to grab a few small flowers, glass tiles to stick the flowers on, and glue. Trust me when I say clear coasters look gorgeous.

It’s sort of like a frame effect and if you spray paint it gold or tape the four edges of the glass, it sure looks even better.

Check out this coaster by Hallmark Channel:

This is a really easy project and the perfect gift for your mom, sister, or aunt. Or if you simply want to make it for your home decor, then go right ahead.

These pressed flower coasters are sure to boost any decor.

Pressed Flower Candles

Don’t you just love candles? I’m crazy about them. Be it decorated candles, scented candles, and even crayon candles, my home is filled with a ton of them.

At one point, I made so many just for the fun of it and ended up gifting it to friends and family.

Making candles is one DIY project I find relaxing yet exciting at the same time, you know?

Try making this pressed flower candle with this tutorial by Sheri Vegas above.

If you’re looking for another amazing and unique candle to make, grab a few herbs like lavender or you could use dried flowers, press them in against the sides of the jar, and pour in your chosen wax, something like beeswax, palm wax, or even soy wax.

Once the candle cools and hardens, so will the lavender.

Let me just say this one thing: these candles turn out looking gorgeous and they smell amazing!

Customized Phone Case

Okay so here’s an awesome way to use pressed flowers. Yup, as the name suggests – a customized phone case! If you have a friend or maybe you love a fancy phone case, then this one is just for you.

In case you’re, yes I too am crazy for pretty things like these so I went ahead and upgraded my phone case.

The best move for sure!

Over at Etsy, there’s a fantastic detailed tutorial that will take you through each step of the way to create this ultra-perfect pressed flower phone case.

Art Work

Recently, I was on a mission to redecorate my bedroom. Things were way too cluttered and to be honest, it kind of looked shabby.

The walls looked too bare, the desk and counters (okay, let me not get started on that one) were just in a bad mess, and well, to make things short – it needed an upgrade.

So, I got cracking, sweat, and hair-pulling involved, the room started to take shape. I must say, I’m glad I finally got down to it.

Anyway, all I did for the wall was grab an old picture frame, spray paint the outside in gold, and create a beautiful artwork from the pressed flowers.

I’m the kind of person who loves simple things so in this case, less was more.

When you have a few flowers instead of crowding as much as you can in the picture frame, it tends to stand out more.

Leaf Trays

If you’re planning to have a party soon, then definitely try out this serving tray idea.

You could follow along the steps of the framed artwork or coasters since it’s practically the same thing.

But if you have trouble making one of your own, leave a comment below and I’ll be happy to point you in the direction of the best one.

Enjoy!
