You Can Press "Boutique" Tote Bags With Flowers From Your Own Backyard.

It begins the moment your purchase goes through. Every lesson and both bonuses land in your account immediately, fully pre-recorded, so you can watch on your own schedule and rewatch as often as you like. There is no cohort to keep up with and no finish-by date. Set it down for a month and pick it right back up.

If you can gently swing a hammer, you already have every physical skill this requires. The workshop was built for complete beginners, and one of your two instructors was a beginner herself just a couple of years ago. In Module 4 you watch her build a full bag in real time, including the moments where a brand-new plant surprises her.

A pack of plain white cotton tote bags (around ten dollars for a two-pack, and the spare becomes your practice bag), a regular hammer, an old thick cutting board, two thin plastic cutting boards (a ziplock bag or plastic sheet works for the inside one), packing tape, scissors, parchment paper, and a clothing iron you already own. Tweezers and a pad of watercolor paper are nice extras. The flowers and herbs come from your yard, a garden center, or the grocery store. Most students already own nearly everything on the list, and a printable supplies checklist comes with the course so nothing gets forgotten.

A single afternoon covers it. Setting up your board takes a few minutes, the pounding session itself is relaxed, unhurried work, and heat-setting with the iron takes two to three minutes. After that, let the bag rest at least 24 hours (a week is even better) before its first trip through the washing machine. That short cure is what locks the color in for the long haul.

It is hammering, so yes, it has some volume. The instructors' advice: work outside on a picnic table where the sound disperses, or slip on ear protection if you're indoors. And kids are welcome. The craft is suitable for any age that can hold a hammer, and the included botanical reference flags which plants are edible and kid-safe and which ones to keep for the grown-ups.

Not for anything in this workshop. The technique uses no chemicals at all: just the plant, the fabric, the hammer, and a hot iron to set the print. Module 5 also demonstrates an optional alum mordant (a simple salt that dyers have used for thousands of years) for when you graduate to bigger pieces and want even more longevity, but you do not need it to make your totes.

Yes, one payment of $47 and that's the end of it. There is no subscription hiding underneath and no pricier tier being teased later. Everything on this page is yours after a single purchase: the full course, both bonuses, and any updates we add down the road.

You're covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the course isn't what you hoped, for any reason or no reason at all, one email gets you a full refund within 24 hours. Nobody will quiz you about why, and there is no form or phone call standing between you and your money.

For as long as you want it. The course is yours to keep, so you can rewatch the pounding session before every new bag and come back next year when you're ready to try a silk scarf or a sundress hem. It will still be there.

HD video lessons you can stream on any device: phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Five focused lessons plus the bonus video, so you can follow along step-by-step at your own table. You also get two downloadable PDFs: the 50-plant Botanical Reference and the printable supplies checklist.

Free videos show someone whacking a flower and holding up the result. This workshop gives you the complete system: the edges-first hammering pattern that keeps petals crisp, how to handle juicy flowers versus firm leaves, the two-board setup that stops bleed-through, the heat-set and cure routine that makes bags machine-washable, and a 50-plant reference so you never waste an afternoon on a plant that won't print. You also watch a complete pounding session from first swing to finished bag, so you can see how hard to hit and what every stage should look like.

Your payment runs through a secure, SSL-encrypted checkout handled by the same processors you already use elsewhere: PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Your card details never touch our servers, and the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the purchase itself.

If you have a grocery store, you have plants that print. Dill, mint, chives, parsley, basil, and rosemary all come from the herb aisle and print year-round, and the floral section covers your flowers in the off season. The included Botanical Reference lists 50 plants that work, spanning garden flowers, grocery herbs, produce like beet greens and chard, and common landscape foliage. A running theme of Module 3 is how many plants you walk past every day turn out to print beautifully.
