At our last Grace Girls meeting, we worked with flower presses and I immediately fell in love with them! I asked my husband to make me one using scrap wood we had lying around. I love how it turned out!!! I’m still working on the back side (each of my children will be drawing a flower to be wood burned), but I couldn’t wait to show the front!

We decided that we are going to open a little general store – Morozov Mini Market – and Flower Presses are one of the first products we are going to start taking orders for! If I get enough interest in various items I’m planning to open an Etsy shop.

I’ll be selling them $35 bare wood (includes sanding, wood protector, & optional stain + cardboard inserts), or $45-$55 for custom orders including writing or designs.

One really fun & useful way to use pressed flowers is by making soap! Today at школа, Ms. Vika taught the children how to do this.

She brought different molds, a huge variety of pressed flowers & dried petals, and Essential oils for the children to all make their own soap using their creativity.

The kids really enjoyed this activity. They really want to get into soap making now, and with our brand new flower press & my collection of Young Living & DoTerra Essential Oils & molds, we’re already almost ready to get started on our natural soap making journey.

The younger children went last to make soap & they made one large one that needed time to set to be cut to share for all the children which we will get to bring home next class, but we were able to bring the ones my older girls made and I absolutely love how cute they are!

I already have them on display in our bathroom & it smells sooo good in there from them!

Until next time ♡ Mama Morozov
