Need a gift for a nature or craft lover? Plant or flower presses spark creativity for all ages and are so fun to use but oftentimes cost $40 and up, eek. This practical 8”x12” plant press is simple to make and the materials for 1 cost me less than $5: •$2.00: One 1”x8”x6’ cedar fence board was $6. No need for these specific dimensions, this is what I could find within budget. Cut into 1’ sections, one press requires two pieces. If you have scrap wood kicking around, this part is basically free!
