Microfleur 9" Microwave Max Flower Press

Product Information

Price can be based on a number of factors: the quality of materials (especially for wooden presses), whether or not your kit is customizable, quality of blotting paper if included, if technology is involved, if devices are handmade, artisan creations, etc. However, while speed is hard to resist, you may not always get as organically pressed flowers as desired. The faster methods sort of work, but the flowers don’t get fully dried and they end up much more fragile. It makes for a beautiful gift, whether as a final project or a complete set. It also looks lovely on a shelf, blending effortlessly into the aesthetic of any craft station or living area.

Flowers can be used the same day and color retention is exceptional, compared with traditional pressing methods. So, I was doubtful about this one before I tried it. This pressing technique is simple and fast, using your microwave. Flower presses generally come in rectangular or square shapes. Larger ones have a bigger surface area, something to consider if you want to press a bouquet or a mix of foliage or press longer or larger flowers. An extra-large flower press may reach dimensions of 30 x 45 centimetres while a very small one may measure 10 x 10 centimetres. The easiest way to press flowers is definitely using a book, as described above. It’s a simple method that’s accessible to almost everyone, with no special supplies or techniques required!If you like this then you may also like my Dried Flower Bird Craft, Hey Clay Modelling Kits and Cool Maker Kummikreator review What’s In The Instant Flower Press Box Since I am all about preserving memories, I wanted to share a project that would be great for Mother’s Day or any other occasion, and help you preserve your flowers to enjoy them even longer. So, I made these pressed flower keepsake frames! A great gift to give, in and of itself, or a great way to preserve a gift you receive. Now, it’s time to microwave the flowers. It’s always a good idea to read the manual of your microwave flower press, especially when it comes to the level of heat it can withstand. Most will require you to reduce your microwave power level by fifty percent. How long do you microwave pressed flowers? Although there are several microwave-safe flower presses, such as the Aboofx Microwave Flower Press, Microfleur is the top microwave flower press brand on the market and has served as a reference for the steps below.

As mentioned previously, using a flower press might just be the easiest thing you’ll ever do in arts and crafts. Some may have issues with the cooking time on their microwaves as it does vary between each kind of microwave depending on what power is being used, but once you get used to your own microwave, flower pressing will be a breeze. What Others Are Saying

I got to team up with Edible and create this project using flowers from their FruitFlowers bouquets! Yes, in addition to the incredible chocolate dipped fruit we all know and love, they also sell fresh seasonal flowers! Delivered, of course, right alongside that yummy chocolate dipped fruit. Best of both worlds: flowers to brighten someone’s day and a delicious treat to enjoy along with it!

All in all, it’s fun to experiment and see how each flower changes as it dries, both in size, shape and hue!
