Pressed Flower Materials: What’s Inside Our Art Kits
In a world of pings and scrolls, creating something tangible feels quietly powerful. It’s not about the outcome—it’s about the moment. A breath. A pause. A return to the self.
At Petal & Still, we believe that making art by hand is a soft ritual. A mindful act that begins with the right materials—natural, calming, and intentional.
This article takes you gently through the pressed flower materials and tools included in our kits, each chosen to support your personal pace, presence, and peace.
🌿 Why Materials Matter in a Pressed Flower Kit
We often ask: What does it feel like to slow down with your hands?
That’s why our kits are crafted not just around what you make, but how you feel while making it. Every item—from the flower petals to the glue pen—is designed to support:
🧘♀️ Slowness, stillness, and screen-free connection
🎨 Emotional expression through intuitive color palettes
🤲 Low-pressure, beginner-welcoming creative flow
🎁 Meaningful, giftable outcomes that carry your intention
Whether this is your first or fifteenth piece, the materials used in our pressed flower kits are here to hold space for your inner quiet.
🌸 Pressed Flowers｜Touching the Real Thing
The soul of our kits lies in the pressed flower materials themselves—real, seasonal blossoms carefully dried using a natural dehydration process. This keeps their original color, curve, and texture.
Each kit includes:
6 unique flower varieties
54 petals total, curated into calming color sets
These aren’t artificial or dyed. They’re real pieces of nature. And like all natural things, they carry variation, softness, and story.
Color psychology guides our palette design:
Pinks & purples evoke tenderness and rest
Yellows & oranges awaken joy and possibility
Neutrals & greens ground you with quiet focus
No two kits are the same. The flowers shift with the seasons, making your creative experience not only natural, but alive.

📐 Mandala Templates｜A Soft Invitation to Create
Included in each kit are two mandala dot-grid templates:
A 4-section symmetry base
A 6-section radial layout
These aren’t instructions. They’re open doorways. You can follow their form, or wander freely. Their purpose is rhythm, not rules.
Inspired by ancient mandala structures from Hindu and Buddhist traditions, they guide without pressing. Balance here means being present—not being perfect.

🖼️ Display Frame｜Preserving Your Moment
After your mandala is complete, you’ll find a 20×20cm paperboard frame included—ready to display your work with no trimming or adhesives.
Ways to use your frame:
Set it on a shelf as a personal reminder
Gift it to a friend as a handmade expression
Hang it by your workspace as a touch of calm
Your one-hour process becomes a quiet object you can return to anytime.

🛠️ Gentle Tools｜Small Helpers for a Smoother Experience
We believe tools should never rush you.
Each pressed flower kit includes:
✒ 2 quick-dry glue pens – mess-free, beginner-friendly
🔍 1 curved tweezer – to place delicate petals with care
These may seem simple, but they help you move slowly, deliberately—without breaking the spell of the moment.

💬 What Makes Our Materials Feel Different?
They’re not mass-produced. They’re not loud. They don’t demand.
Instead, we design each kit to feel like a soft space.
🍃 Natural, Seasonal Petals
We source real flowers that change with the seasons—so no kit is exactly the same. It keeps the process fresh and intuitive.
📐 Templates that Breathe
Our dot-grids are emotional blueprints—offering order, but never pressure.
✋ Tools that Ground You
Every pen, frame, and tweezer is there to support—not control—the creative process.
These are pressed flower materials that respond to your hands, your rhythm, your day.

🌱 Final Words｜It Starts with a Petal
You don’t have to plan. You don’t need a reason.
Just open the box. Choose a petal. Place it gently.
That one motion—that quiet contact with something real—is where the calm begins.
This isn’t about creating something perfect. It’s about feeling something true.
So breathe. Arrange. Pause. Let the pressed flower materials do the rest.
🌀 Petal & Still
One hour of creating. A whole day of peace.
