Four leaf clover

6 replies

I have found a four leaf clover in my front garden.

I currently have it pressed between the Joe Wicks cook book.

Any ideas what I can do with it as I want to keep it and preserve it. I'd love a key ring made out of it. Maybe in glass but I can't find nothing online!

Can anyone help please? Power of mumsnet ♥️!

Ideally I need a company online to do this it looks too complicated for me not to fuck up

How about somewhere like this company who make bespoke resin items?

Alternatively you can buy a resin casting kit but that looks like an initial outlay of about £20 plus all the faffing about.

In my experience pressed flowers and leaves stay well for years as long as you keep it dry.
I have made crafts with them, mainly covered it with pva glue, but ones I made pictures using many of them, just framing it kept them for more than decade, and still in pretty good condition.

For key ring, I would stick them on the paper and thinly cover it with pva, then slide it into shop bought keyring for the photos.

Simply laminating works as well, to make something like book marks.

I am ordering off that link you sent me.
Thanks so much.
It's going to be a little surprise present for my OH when we get married next year.
He's doing a little silver keyring and engraving.

I will post a pic when it comes. Will be a couple of weeks as I've got to send him the clover x
