9 (23 cm) Max Microwave Flower Press Kit for Pressing Flowers and Making Pressed Flowers

I had never pressed flowers before and this microwave flowerpress made my flower pressing project pretty easy. My father recently passed away and I wanted to save some of the roses from his graveside service. Roses are a bit of a challenge since they are so thick so I read a lot of advice before beginning the project and I watched a couple of youtube videos. This one was my favorite: (...) Its short and very informative. If youre pressing a flower thats thick, like a rose, then I found the best thing to do is to basically take all the petals off and then reconstruct a thin rose in your fingertips with just a handful of petals. Also, follow the instructions and only microwave the specimens for short periods of time. For me, the flowers I used were important (from my dads graveside service) so I didnt want to risk the chance of burning them. I was probably way more conservative than necessary but I microwaved in really short bursts of 20-30 seconds. I also allowed the flowers to air out in between zaps and stretched the process out over a few days. I was really happy with the results and now just need to figure out what Im going to do with all the pretty pressed roses I made!

I love this product so much! What would take weeks only takes a few minutes. Even though it’s more expensive, it’s American made and you can do as many flowers as you like in a day. Other products are capped due to limited space and/or dry times. I bought the largest size and some extra pads. No regrets!

It works- you have to microwave it a couple times and figure out what works but the smell it gives off is fowl. I had to literally open the windows because it smelled so bad. I guess that’s what happens when you microwave flowers and the misrule out of them but I’m disappointed no one mentioned this to me before!!!

Really enjoy using this, I dry flowers a lot so I do wish the bigger size was bigger but then I dont know if it would fit in the microwave. Easy to use, instructions straightforward. Note: you cant use too thick of material or else the clamps will not secure onto the square. You also just have to do some trial and error with your personal microwave and find out what flowers need certain drying times. I would 100% buy again, love using this tool for drying flowers!

The Microfleur is great! I got the larger size, as I had a lot of wildflowers to dry to include in resin products. I was able to dry hundreds of flowers and leaves in just a few hours, rather than waiting weeks for them to dry with traditional pressing methods. Additionally, color preservation was better than with flowers pressed under a book. Some flowers do take a surprising number of rounds to dry, because they are full of water. Keep with it and make sure the flowers are fully dry, though. It is worth it in the long run, as the flowers wont rot or change color, ruining your project.

Just received the flower press today and used it right away. DO NOT USE IT WITH DRY SHEETS! I used it twice on pansies, 30 seconds each time, the third time is was lightening storm in my microwave! Make sure you lightly spray the wool sheets with a spray bottle between dryings. Ive dried about 2 dozen flowers now and they all turned out great.

Pleased so far!
