Add Natural Decor with DIY Pressed Leaf Art

If you’re a plant lover, you no doubt have plants in your home as elements of living decor for your space. But if we know your style (and we think we do), you probably decorate with botanical prints on your walls, throw pillows, and accessories too. Looking at you, Etsy search history for “Monstera leaf earrings.” 

This DIY tutorial will walk you through the process of making pressed leaf art to frame and hang on your walls to preserve the beauty of your plants in every room. 

Why press leaves? 

Pressing your plant’s leaves or blooms maintains their beauty long-term. If you’re pruning a leggy vine, trimming off a dying stem, or have a blooming plant going dormant, you can easily keep a piece of the plant and use it as artwork. 

How to press leaves 

The easiest way to press a leaf or flower is to use wax paper, paper towels and a few heavy books.
