Botanical paper letters

It may be impossible to stop the passage of time as ephemeral items like flowers, with a beauty that expires soon and that we would like to freeze forever.

Capturing the delicacy of petals and leaves is possible by the dry-pressing technique, where we choose flowers in its peak and let dry naturally between pages of books. Once after about 7 to 10 days, we decorate our paper letters or cards to compliment the spring by adding a drop of glue. Learn how to do it thanks to the advices of Gardenista.
