Instructions in 5 steps Each picture is one-of-a-kind, because nature itself is unique. The pressed flowers and blossoms are pressed into still wet structure paste and bind together when drying.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Paintbrush, masking tape, hot-melt glue, flowers and blossoms to press

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Press the flowers and blossoms according to the instructions of the flower press.

Step 2

Press the flowers and blossoms according to the instructions of the flower press.

Step 3

Stick the masking tape along the entire length, about 3 cm from the edge, and apply the Fine Sand structure paste to the middle using the metallic spatula.

Step 4

Remove the masking tape. Lay the dried flowers on the still wet structure paste and push them slightly down, in order to secure them in place as the paste dries.

Step 5

Wrap a cord around the lid of the wooden chip box and secure it firmly using hot-melt glue. Spread the Coarse Sand structure paste over the lid using the metallic spatula and press down a dried flower into the still wet structure paste.
