Easy Flower Press Construction

Go to your nearby home improvement center. Get a piece of peg-board (they are good for ventilation too) make sure you have chosen the thicker one. Ask them to cut two 12" X 8" pieces. The important thing to know is that you do not care about the precise measurement of the boards, but not to cut through the holes. Make sure you tell the person cutting the board to cut between holes. Purchase two packages of foam air conditioning filter and 4 sets of bolts (1/4" X 2") and wing nuts. Each package of foam can be cut into 4 pieces making a total of eight pieces of foam. Cut out the corners of the foam to make room for bolts. As for lining paper, you can use scratch computer printing paper (or any copier paper). If you like to smooth the flower press' edges, you can file it. You can also paint it any color you want. However, these steps are for decoration and will not affect the results.
