AN EMBROIDERY HOOP IS AN IDEAL READY-MADE FRAME THAT GIVES A NOSTALGIC FEEL TO THESE PROJECTS CRAFTED WITH SUMMER’S FAIREST FLORALS.

Pressed dried flower art is a lovely way to preserve the fleeting beauty of a summer garden. Pick flowers of different sizes and colours; press them flat by placing them in a heavy book for a few weeks. To make the frame, fasten a sheet of vellum paper securely into an embroidery hoop; cut off the excess paper. Using tweezers, position petals or whole flowers on the paper; affix flowers to vellum by carefully applying liquid glue with a brush. Display in a window, where light will filter through the translucent paper and highlight the blooms.
