Making Dried Flower Note Cards

Craft: Dried Flower Note Cards

These are very simple to make with flowers that you have collected and dried. Pansy and spring flowers are the best to use as they dry very flat, But I have even dried sunflowers in my flower press. Directions for a simple flower press can be found on ThriftyFun so if you missed the directions, you can find them there. With a little time and effort, you can make these beautiful note cards for yourself. These make a wonderful gift for Christmas or a bridal or baby shower.

Time: about 30 minutes per card including dry time

Materials

• dry flowers
• quick drying glue
• plain note cards white or colored with envelopes
• clear contact paper
• tulle for bow

Instructions

1. Glue dried flowers and leaves in a pleasing arrangement on card. Let dry.
2. Cut contact paper to the dimensions of the front of your card.
3. Starting at the corner of the contact paper, peel back the contact paper about half way down. Press on to your card and work out any air bubbles.

Always put about six cards in each package and then tie with a tulle bow.
