> 24 hourIn the week after my wedding, I wasn’t ready to throw out my bouquet and also had no idea what to do with it. Found this press & starting microwaving the flowers in batches. Love how this turned out. Color maintained and sturdy enough to pin in a shadow box. Pricey, but worth it.

> 24 hourThe 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.

> 24 hourPresent for the misses. She has used it several times this summer and really likes it. Was using a book press system before, this is much quicker and she says it gives better results. I agree with her. Not because I think it is better, I have no clue, but because thats what you are supposed to do, so I say Yep looks great or something to that extent. She is excited and likes it, so what else really matters?

> 24 hourThis is the first craft project and I didn’t know any that I literally could take out of the box and use perfectly and easily. The flowers in the colors this season were so vibrant and beautiful I was looking for the best way to preserve the color and I found this. I watched a video on YouTube and the woman use this press it looks easy and when this press arrive it was So simple and the flowers came out so beautiful. One thing I really enjoyed about those is that you can move the flowers during the drying process and that makes him even prettier I can’t wait to start using these flowers and other projects.

> 24 hourThe product came very quickly. I’ve used Microfleur many times and love the results. Just as the directions say many flowers don’t retain they’re colors and some flowers take longer to dry than others. The process takes some experimentation. Not a problem for me. Have fun

> 24 hourI bought this to preserve flowers from my sons funeral. Until I watched a few YouTube videos I never knew this product existed. Ive always dried them the old fashioned way of squishing them in a book and waiting and waiting and waiting. This allowed me to dry flowers in under 30 minutes. I then put them in silicone molds filled with epoxy so I have an item I can cherish forever

> 24 hourI was definitely an amateur at flower pressing when I bought this last year. It took some trial-and-error to get it right, but my pressed flowers look great. The color is very vibrant. Wish it came in a larger size (like 9x12). Heres my best advice: 1. Do at least 4+ rounds of heating, until your flower/leaf stays straight when you hold it out. It shouldnt be flacid. The thicker the specimen, the more rounds of heating you should do. 2. Between each round of heating, take out the microfleur, wipe away moisture on the insides of the shell and blot the wool pads, and let your flowers/leaves cool enough before you heat it again. 3. Flower buds and thicker flowers can overheat and burn a hole in the cloth liner and wool pads, and itll smell horrible. Make sure to let them cool between heating sessions.

> 24 hourI was totally surprised at how easy this was to use and how the colors of the flowers stayed true to the freshly picked blooms.

> 24 hourI salvaged some of the flowers from my cousins wedding and arranged the dry leaves and petals in a frame as a keepsake. It just takes some patience and experimentation to figure out what kinds of flowers work best. I had great success with silver dollar eucalyptus, salal, viking mums, and veronicas.
