Microfleur 5" Microwave Regular Flower Press

Product Information

To create perfectly dried and flattened flowers, you’ll need more than just a good flower press. You’ll also need the proper absorbent paper, not to mention scissors and a few other useful supplies.

Flowers can be used the same day and color retention is exceptional, compared with traditional pressing methods.Once the microwave press is ready, you can make any preparations to the flowers and plants you’re going to press. Often times they may have large bases which you can cut off.

Designed in France, for aspiring botanists, this press is perfect for drying flowers and intricate leaves that children collect. Sponge sheets. To hurry the drying process along, some kits utilize ultra-absorbent sponge sheets rather than parchment paper. Most kits specify what they use if you look! Some kits are made of plastic, but the best are usually made from wood. If the wood is recyclable, all the better. Why is wood preferable? Because it is durable, flexible, and lightweight. Wood can take the pressure applied by a flower press and not warp or break.Frame your artwork. Many pressed flowers are displayed by themselves, as their own artwork. You can even incorporate them into the frames, for an entirely elegant look. Generally, flowers with more moisture will take longer to press, but you should still microwave in short increments. (So perhaps you do 20 short bursts instead of 10.) If your flowers are getting “cooked,” you could try a few things: 1) do a shorter initial “burst” to make sure the flower doesn’t scorch, 2) reduce the power on your microwave, 3) do shorter bursts (maybe 5-10 seconds). I always open my Microfleur in between bursts and let the inner linings cool a bit before microwaving again. Growing in popularity over the past few years, flower pressing equipment has seen a dramatic rise in sales. Especially flower presses that are used in microwave ones that not only press the flowers but also dry them at the same time. Introducing the Microfleur Flower Press Kit!
