Embossed flower art is the process of processing, dehydrating, pressing and drying natural plants and flowers into dried flowers, which still maintain their original beauty and color, and then add creativity and design to carefully produce unique handmade works of art. , to retain spring for you, freeze the beauty of nature, and let flowers bloom in your home forever.
Material preparation: freshly picked plants and flowers, scissors, glue, pins or specimen needles, heavy books, sulfuric acid paper or baking paper, picture frames, thickened colored paper, tweezers, white pearl cotton foam board.
Step 1:
Prepare the dried flowers first. Smaller and thinner flowers are more suitable for making dried flowers, and the finished product will be easy to flatten..
Cut off the stems of freshly picked florets near the bottom of the flowers, open the center of the inner page of a heavy book, cover it with sulfuric acid paper or baking paper, lay the florets flat on the paper, carefully close the book pages, and place the florets flat on the paper. It is pressed for 2-4 weeks to allow it to dry completely.
Note: Each plant and flower cannot overlap, and a small gap must be left.
The flowers selected in the picture above are chamomile, thistle, pink celery, white granadilla, yellow kangaroo paw, etc.
Tip: When picking flowers, try to bloom until they are in their best shape and color. The color will fade slightly after being made into dried flowers.
Step 2:
Disassemble the picture frame, cut a piece of thick light pink colored paper into the same size as the bottom paper in the picture frame, and paste foam board on the back of the bottom paper. If the foam board is thin, you can paste two layers. to secure the pin.
Step 3:
Install the base paper back into the frame, and use the prepared dried flowers to start embossing the layout design.
Step 4:
Once the design is determined, use tweezers and pins to secure the dried flowers within the frame.
Note: Before placing the flowers, insert the pin into the bottom paper of the frame to the back cover. Check whether the pin exceeds the glass on the front of the frame. If it is too long, you can replace it with another type of short pin. Or use wire cutters to cut off the excess length.
Tip: Some dried flowers are very delicate and will easily crack when pierced with a pin. When setting the flowers, you can layer a very small piece of foam on the back of the dried flowers to help avoid cracking. , also helps to adjust the positioning of dried flowers on pins at different heights.
The finished embossed craft painting can be hung on the wall to decorate your home.
