Rose Petal Notes + ASMR Video Tutorial
Fresh cut flowers are so beautiful, but they fade away quite quickly. When you press buds, petals, or leaves, they last a lot longer.
You can use pressed flowers in bullet journaling, art journaling, mixed media pieces, letters to friends, greeting cards, and even as watercolor muses.
You don’t need a flower press to preserve petals or flowers; you can use heavy books, which I’ve done before. A press simply makes the process a bit tidier and simpler.
I pressed carnation petals, rose petals, and baby’s breath from bouquets I got on Valentine’s Day. (At least I think they’re carnations…if they’re not, please correct me 😉 )
I let the flowers sit for 4 weeks in my flower press. They could have sat in my press for just 2 weeks, but I honestly forgot about them.
When I finally got around to opening my press, I thought it would be a fun moment to film. It was quiet and raining softly that day and I didn’t feel like talking, so the video turned out to be an accidental ASMR clip. I actually find many ASMR videos to be very relaxing. Check out the video below because it shows the reveal as well as a bonus DIY at the end:
After I took all of the flowers and petals out of my press, I decided to write some of my favorite quotes on the rose petals.
