You can create beautiful, unique greeting cards with dried, pressed geranium flowers. The easiest way is to use a thick book for pressing. To stop the pages of the book becoming discoloured or wavy, place blotting or printer paper between the pages and the flowers. Alternatively, you can use a flower press, which would also make a thoughtful and inspiring gift for craft-loving family or friends.

With their gorgeous blooms, geraniums also make a beautiful table decoration. Napkins embroidered with geranium flowers perfectly complement this celebratory summer table.
