Pressed Faux Flower Petal Art

I am excited to tell you about a new thing I am doing! I have teamed up with a few other bloggers to bring monthly themed projects to you! It will happen every third Wednesday of the month. Each month, there will be a different theme that we have to create a project inspired by. This month the theme is flowers! That means there will be tons of great flower projects for you to see today! You can find all of them if you click on the photo below.

My project this month is pressed faux flower petal art. I used to love pressing flowers that I would find during the summer and seeing what they looked like at the end of the summer so I could look at them all winter long. Pressed flowers bring back a lot of fun memories for me. I think that they make a great decor item for spring too. The problem? I live in Idaho. Most of the flowers here have not bloomed yet! To solve that problem, I used faux flowers and I think it looks pretty darn close to the real deal.
