Product Description

Sow 'N Sow Giant Gumnut Flower Press 

Pressing flowers is an easy way to treasure one of nature’s most beautiful gifts. Thoughtfully illustrated by Adelaide abstract artist Laura Horn, this traditional Flower Press features native Australian wattle and eucalyptus gumnuts.

At 20cm x 30cm tall, this press is twice the size of our standard large Flower Press and three times bigger than our mini flower press. Each Flower Press is hand crafted in Australia out of hard-wearing materials to ensure stable pressure and long-lasting use. Includes: Engraved top and bottom MDF backing boards, 5 recycled cardboard separating layers, nuts and bolts.

Dimensions: 198mm wide, 298mm tall, 60mm deep. Made in Australia

Sow N Sow was founded in 2010 by green thumb Michelle Brady who was seeking a more creative outlet and had always dreamt of running her own business. Michelle works in collaboration with designer and illustrator Daniella Germain to create beautiful Gifts of Seeds, Flower Presses and Gift Tags. Sow n Sow believes in purposefully gifting without contributing to waste that end up in landfill. Proudly Australian made in Queensland from 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and soy-based ink. Gift your loved ones with their beautiful products that can be enjoyed for many months as it blossoms and grows. Vegan and cruelty-free.

1. Pick your flowers and leaves!The best time to pick is during a warm part of the day when the blooms will have the least amount of moisture.Remember that you are flattening the flowers, so avoid flowers with big thick cores such as roses as these won’t flatten so well.You can cut thicker flowers like roses up into sections, or even just press the petals on their own.2. Cut some paper (optional)We like to use sheets of paper between the cardboard layers in our flower press. The press will work beautifully without them, but the paper will keep the cardboard clean for many years of pressing, and it will help with absorbing the moisture in the flowers. Pick clean paper, preferably one that is slightly absorbent such as craft paper or paper from a drawing pad. 3. Collect your flowers and arrangeTrim your blooms and arrange them between the layers of cardboard and sheets of paper. You can fit as much as you like between each layer. Try not to overlap any of the petals or leaves to avoid them sticking together.4. Put the press back togetherPut all the layers back together and screw the wing nuts back into place. You might have to push down on the press to get the wing nuts back on! Make sure the press is screwed down nice and tight.5. Done!

Keep your press in a cool, dry place for at least 2 weeks. After 2 weeks you can have a look but if the flowers aren’t fully dry then leave them for a while longer. 

MDF boards, 5 recycled cardboard separating layers, nuts and bolts.
