Microfleur 5" Microwave Regular Flower Press

Product Information

Apart from size and aesthetics, the ultimate choice will be opting between a traditional press or a microwave flower press kit. Guided by experts, we spend hours looking into the factors that matter, to bring you these selections. I can't wait until I have gathered enough flowers to make my frames and hang then proudly on the wall.

The flowers are pressed placed between these, along with an absorbent material, like a sponge, and paper. Also, don’t expect a pretty-looking press here; it’s all about speed and functionality with this one. Remove the flowers delicately with your fingers or a pair of tweezers - you don’t want to ruin them after waiting so long, after all.If you’re using a microwave press, the cloth liners that act as blotting paper will stain and retain pollen from previous batches of flowers. I must admit, this is my least preferred method because I just don’t think the quality compares to the other methods. The results have been fantastic and you can continue to press as many as you like because the inner pads are all washable!

Once they are in a position that will look good when they become 2D, slowly close the book or place the top of the press down over the flowers.

With all the materials you need to start preserving nature's exquisite works of art, this flower press kit contains two platens, all natural pads and liners, and clips to hold it all together. Note, following instructions is critical when using this kit as there is a risk of burning your contents at first attempts. This Instant Flower Press from My Living World is a fun and engaging way for kids to discover different flowers that they can keep forever! Whether you want to dry and press your wedding bouquet or prolong the life of a special bunch from a loved one, a great way to cherish flowers is by preserving their vibrant colours and unique shape in a pressing book. I’ve used everything from flowering shrubs like plumbago to roses, vincas, pansies, Esperanza, zinnias, and delphinium.

They are ideally flat for fitting between the pages, and seeing one of your beloved pressed flowers peeking at your while you read can bring a bit of cheer! Personally, I still think creative gifts are the best, and this flower press kit is an incredibly original option if you’re on the lookout for something unique! Before I dive in, I have a discount to offer you if you want to gift something from Edible this Mother’s Day season. These presses have microwave-safe plastic or ceramic, vented platens, and come with fabric liners and wool pads. For a fun kids’ craft, use wax paper to create a “suncatcher” with the flowers preserved in between.If you’re pressing flowers from a bouquet, it’s best to start as soon as possible; don’t wait until the day before you’ll have to throw the arrangement out. I always open my Microfleur in between bursts and let the inner linings cool a bit before microwaving again.

The better the quality of the blooms at picking time, the better they’ll look when dried and pressed. Luckily, flower presses are among the most accessible and easy-to-use tools you’ll ever use for crafting.

This complete kit contains a set of unique features besides its 17 x 23cm (~6 x 9 in) handmade, pinewood press: a lovely herbarium folder to document and archive your findings, stickers to classify your plants/flowers, cardboard, blotting paper, scissors, and a trendy, silk printed cotton bag to hold your materials. In addition, this kit is really modern and fresh, making it an excellent gift for an artsy friend looking to begin or reignite their love for the craft!
