Vivid and Adorable: A Collection of Items to Create with 'Pressed Fruits' Instead of Pressed Flowers! ♡

Have you heard of "Pressed Fruits," which are not pressed flowers...?

"Pressed Fruits" refer to fruits like strawberries, lemons, and kiwis that are thinly pressed to remove moisture and dried, similar to pressed flowers.

They are popular among handmade accessory creators as DIY materials!＊

They are different from dried fruits＊

Unlike the dried fruits you eat, pressed fruits unfortunately cannot be eaten＊

However, their vibrant colors remain beautifully intact, unlike dried fruits, which is their charm!

You can create adorable items that make the most of the fruits' natural beauty.♡

Pressed fruits are available for purchase online♩

While you can make pressed fruits from scratch, it seems that slicing them thinly and removing moisture can surprisingly be quite labor-intensive and difficult.

Therefore, it's recommended to just buy pressed fruits if you're preparing them!

You can find them on online shopping apps like Rakuten, Mercari, minne, creema, and BASE.♩

Now, here are some recommended items you can create with pressed fruits!♩

The Thank You Letter for Parenting is a popular gift for parents during presentation scenes.＊

By buying an acrylic board from MUJI and sandwiching pressed fruits throughout the frame, you can create a refreshing and cute atmosphere!♡

For the reception sign that all guests will see, DIY with a smaller acrylic board filled with pressed fruits is also recommended!＊

The vibrant red strawberries and oranges make a wonderful accent.♩

Adding pressed fruits to a herbarium, which has been popular as home decor for the past few years, is adorable too!♡

The arrangement of cutting strawberries into heart shapes and trapping them inside is just too lovely!

This could be a great choice as a wedding favor, or you could attach name cards for guests to use as place cards.＊

Finally, I’d like to introduce the idea of decorating a transparent iPhone case with arranged pressed fruits!＊

Among all the fruits, strawberries truly have an extraordinary cuteness.♡
