Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been known various types of pressed flower preservation bodies which can store pressed flowers for a long period of time and can decorate them in, for example, a frame. One of the conventional methods for preparing a preserved pressed flower is described in JP-A-8-165202.

In the method described in this publication, as shown in FIG. 11, a bag 2 having an opening 1 at one circumferential end is formed from a laminated aluminum sheet on which a resin film is laminated, and a window is formed on an upper surface portion 3 of the bag 2. A hole 4 is formed, and a transparent plate 5 is adhered to the upper surface 3 so as to cover the window hole 4, and the mount 6 and the mount 6 are inserted into the bag 2 from the opening 1 formed at the one circumferential end.
The pressed flower 7 placed on the bag 2 is placed so that the pressed flower 7 is located in the window hole 4, and then the air in the bag 2 is sucked from the opening 1 to make the inside of the bag 2 substantially vacuum. The opening 1 is sealed while the inside of the rear bag 2 is maintained in a vacuum state, thereby creating a pressed flower storage body.

[0004] According to such a method for producing a preserved pressed flower,
As described in the above publication, since the inside can be brought into a sufficiently vacuum state by sucking air, the pressed flower can be stored without discoloration or fading for a long period of time.

[0005]

However, the production method described in the above publication has the advantage that it can be stored for a long period of time without discoloration or fading due to a sufficient vacuum state. First, a bag must be made of laminated aluminum sheets, and after the bag has been made, a window hole must be formed in the front part of the bag. However, there is a problem in that the laminated aluminum sheet portion corresponding to the window hole is wasted, that is, there is a lot of waste in terms of processing work and material, which is inefficient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily process a sheet material such as a laminated aluminum sheet for forming a base while ensuring long-term storage properties, and to save material.
