Pressed Flower Memorial Bookmarks

I lost my Dad just 5 weeks ago. While we are so very heartbroken, I wanted to make a keepsake for myself and family. I pressed flowers from his funeral with the intent of making wooden bookmarks. One morning it came to me. I needed to scan his signature onto the bookmarks. I had birthday cards he had given to various family members over the years. I was able to scan in a signature for each role he was to our family.

Love you, Bob
Love you, Dad
Love you, Grandpa Tossava

Husband. Brother. Father. Father-in-law. Grandfather.

Pressed Flower Memorial Wooden Bookmark

For the bookmark, I used .025″ Thick Cherry Wood Back Short Grain and cut them 3″ wide by 7″ long. You can cut them to any size you desire with a paper cutter, guillotine, scissors, sharp blade, etc. 

For the printed on circle cutouts, I used both .016″ Thick Maple Paper Back Short Grain and .016″ Thick Birch Paper Back Short Grain. I first printed them with a HP Envy Photo 7855 printer, then cut them out with a 2.5″ circle paper punch. Again, you can make them any size. This is what worked for me and my project. We do also have Pre-Cut Cherry Wood Bookmarks available, if you want to bypass all the cutting and just get to crafting.

I would like to point out that all flowers are not good for pressing. While we did have a gorgeous assortment of roses that I would have loved to use, they are too big, bulky and do not press well. Roses are better preserved using silica gel, which I did do. Smaller, dainty flowers work best for pressing. I took a chance with the daisies but they turned out beautiful. Almost translucent after I ran them through the laminator.

I put all the flowers between sheets of printer paper and placed them in between pages of a huge dictionary I have. I waited about 2 weeks and they were ready to go.

For glue, my first go-to is always Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue. You can purchase that from any craft store. I used if for the signature pieces and the flowers. I arranged each bookmark, glued everything in place and let them dry overnight. The next day I ran them through a laminator. You do not need an expensive or elaborate laminator. I used a very inexpensive laminator that I’ve had for over 10 years. I used a paper cutter to trim each bookmark down.

To say I was pleased with how this idea of a keepsake turned out for myself and family, would be an understatement.

Die Cut Wood Sign

Real Wood Paper can be die cut into many shapes as well as paper punched. We recommend our Fleece Back products for die cutting, paper punching and great for a Cricut with the Fine Point Blade.

Fleece Back (.010″) thick has a very thin, sheer, flexible backing similar to vellum and is appropriate for dollhouse enthusiasts, candle wraps, lamp shades…anything where flexibility and luminosity is a must.

For this project, we used Maple and Walnut.

DIY Birthday Card w/ Wood Sign

Creating a unique, one of a kind Happy Birthday card for that special someone in your life makes for a memorable gift that will be cherished for years to come. As shown here, Real Wood Paper can be easily cut with die cuts (Sizzix Tim Holtz Bigz Die – Hanging Sign). We used 8.5″ x 11″ Maple Fleece Back Long Grain to create this adorable hanging sign. It was glued with Beacon’s 3 in 1 Glue to colorful cardstock and adorned with sweet little flowers.

Cherry Fleece Back .010″ Thick Short Grain 8.5″ x 11″

Oval paper punch
Scissors
Glue – We used Beacons 3 in 1 but a glue gun would work as well
Small bowl of water
Paper towel or dish towel
Toothpick or other small round item to wrap wood around

Glue and paper punch used on real wood paper sheets
how to make a wood flower

Instructions:
Paper punch your ovals so the grain is going the length of your oval (this will allow the paper to curl the right direction).

Cut ovals in half and soak ovals in water for up to 1 minute.

Remove ovals from water and place on towel to drain excess water.

For the first center petal piece, carefully wrap a piece around the toothpick. When you have the desired size, apply glue to the bottom edge of the petal. For all other pieces, apply a bead of glue to the bottom (cut/straight edge) of the petal and wrap it around the previous petal. Continue layering until you have the desired look and size. You can create a rosebud all the way to a fully open rose just by creating space between the top of the previous layers petals as you glue the bottom to the base of the flower.
