Natures Pressed Flower & Leaf Press 7 X 9 Nature Press (For Pressing Leaves & Flowers)

I have an "outdoorsy" child, so I thought this would make a nice Christmas gift for him. My 8 year old son loves pressing flowers. This press is very easy to use and lots of fun. The velcro straps are easily adjustable to account for the thickness of the flower sample. I will randomly purchase some flowers for the kitchen table and gift him a clipping. We take out a paper thin pressed flower after a couple weeks (the flowers are pressed thin within a week, I'd say, but he wants them really thin so he checks them every few days and is usually satisfied after a couple weeks.) and my son has been gluing the pressed flowers into his "Nature Album". We look forward to Spring so we can begin collecting samples in nature.

I bought this for my mother as a gift and she loves it. You can press a lot of flowers at once and from what she has shown me, they turn out lovely. I usually just press flowers in books, but I consider this worth the cost because it is so pretty. It looks beautiful just sitting on a table as a decoration as well as being a flower press.

I didn't receive what was pictured or described. I definitely did receive a flower press that will do its job, but it wasn't the product that is pictured as shown by the photos I've attached. The flower press I received is a 7"x almost 7" square. Not anywhere near a 9"x7" rectangular press. It also isn't held together by straps, but wing nuts which I would believe to be sturdier and apply more even pressure. It came with 6 octagon shaped pieces of cardboard and 10 octagon shaped pieces of blotter paper, which look like regular printer paper, but has the texture of a very thick coffee filter. I haven't gotten a chance to use this yet since spring hasn't arrived where I'm at, but I'm sure it would do its job. 4 stars simply because item wasn't what was pictured or described.

I just recently got into plant pressing and this kit is a great way to start! It's small, simple, and the belts are easy to use. So far, I've pressed one batch of plants and they came out beautiful. It's also easy to carry around. It comes with many good ideas with how to use your pressed plants. This shipping was pretty quick, about a week or so. I was actually quite surprised with how small it is, but it can hold a lot of stuff! The price seemed a little high but it works well and hasn't snapped. Thanks for the awesome product!

I really enjoyed using this flower press. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and the results were great. I did this project with my 7 year old granddaughter and she, being very artistic, made a lovely framed picture with the pressed flowers. Wonderful fun!

It's a fairly nice press, although I must say I'm a bit upset about the durability of the straps. We bought this about 2 weeks ago to preserve flowers from my wife's wedding boquet, and, per the instructions, I've been tightening the straps every day. Today, I broke one of the straps. They say 'the hook & loop straps will hold more pressure than you can put on them!' but clearly that's not true. In any case, it seems well built and I'm assuming I just overdid it on the straps.

This is a beautiful tool when pressing flowers and leaves and it does a great job. It comes complete with everything you need. I'm looking forward to years of pressing fun and then making cards to send to my friends and family.

My boyfriend collects 4 leaf clovers so I thought this would be a great Christmas gift it came and it was well shipped all the items were together seems to be a very nice kit and I'm excited to gift it and use it !!! Great kit especially for the price thank you !
