Rainy days don’t always have to feel grey.
Sometimes, they can be soft, colorful, and comforting.
In this EP15 tutorial, I wanted to explore a very simple idea:
turning pressed flowers into a gentle rainy moment.
This is not a complicated project.
It’s more about atmosphere, balance, and enjoying the process.
⸻
The Idea
The concept is straightforward:
• White hydrangea petals become fluffy clouds
• Small colorful flowers fall like raindrops
• Everything is arranged on a clear acrylic frame, so the piece feels light and transparent
I like working on clear acrylic because it allows the flowers to “float” in space.
There’s no heavy background — just light, air, and quiet movement.
The making process is shown in the video below.

Materials
For this rainy-themed pressed flower craft, I used a small selection of delicate dried flowers:
• White hydrangea petals — used to create soft cloud shapes
• Cornflower petals (pink & blue) — arranged as colorful raindrops
• Mini white spirea flowers — added as light accents to echo the clouds
• Forget-me-not flowers — for subtle texture and color variation
All flowers are pressed and lightweight, making them easy to arrange on a clear acrylic frame.

How I Arranged the Flowers
1. Creating the clouds
I placed the white hydrangea petals in a loose triangular shape.
This helps the cloud feel fuller at the top and lighter toward the bottom, just like real clouds.
I didn’t aim for perfection — slightly uneven edges make the clouds feel more natural.
2. Letting the rain fall
The small flowers were placed one by one, randomly and gently.
I mixed colors instead of grouping them, so the “rain” feels playful rather than patterned.
I also made sure to include a few white raindrops, which visually connect back to the clouds above.
The process itself feels a bit like watching rain fall — slow, calm, and intuitive.

Tips
• A clear acrylic frame works especially well for this kind of light, airy design
• Using B7000 glue helps keep the flowers in place while leaving minimal visible glue marks
• Don’t overthink the placement — randomness is part of the charm
This is the kind of project where trusting your eyes matters more than following strict rules.

A Small Reflection
When I finished this piece, I realized something simple:
Even rainy days can be colorful.
Not in a loud way — but in a soft, quiet way that feels comforting rather than dramatic.
⸻
And that’s all — a gentle rainy moment. ☁️🌸
If you’d like to try this project without the extra preparation,
I’ve put together a ready-to-use dried flower kit for EP15.
All flowers are pre-selected, pressed, and packed —
so you don’t need to buy fresh flowers or press them yourself.
You can find the complete kit on my website and start creating directly.
