Aboofx Microwave Flower Press Kit, 6.3" Quick Drying Pressed Flower Art Kit with Washable Cloth, Vibrant Color Rentention, Resuable Flower Preservation Kit for DIY Flower Art, Gift for Nature Lover

I was surprised at how well this worked! It was very easy to use and super fast. I got this to make pressed flower bookmarks while we were at our cabin, and it was a hit. I’m still trying to figure out how to press flowers with super thin petals because they are so delicate that I broke them trying to take them out, however, most of the flowers and leave pressed and dried perfectly! The greenery presses FLAWLESSLY. It does smell badly a bit when you are “cooking” them… but it didn’t hinder the process. I forgot to take photos, but will try to add some later. It is a perfect size and would be good for all ages.

This is great!i had been spending waaaaay too much money on dried flowers so thought I would try this out. It works quickly and does a great job of keeping the flowers flat and also retains the beautiful colors of the flowers. I even dried some hydrangeas and they turned out beautifully. Wish I would have bought this a long time ago!

Very cool, much easier to make dry flowers for my artwork. Only downside is that the elastic band (it only comes with one) stretches out very quickly and the plates warp easily. The warping could be prevented if it had 2 straps. I will probably just buy some wide elastic and make my own tension straps.

Great and easy way to dry flowers! I’m so happy with this purchase. :)

Took awhile to figure out best times to microwave. Plastic warped after a few times. Cloth stained quickly & caused discoloration on flowers that were dried after original staining. While the plastic warped; it did not crack & is still usable. Elastic band works great to hold pieces together after many times heating. Wool pieces have held up well.

I about cried when my first Hoya bloomed and I was successfully able to preserve it in 30 seconds. Mind blown. Must buy, phenomenal gift, so cute & easy.

I took a chance on this, having had no experience with flower drying outside of the usual "stick it in a book & hope for the best". After watching a few video tutorials online, I had a better idea of how to use it but the instructions follow the same steps so it's pretty intuitive. Tips: DO spritz the felt pads before you start. Sounds counter-intuitive but if they're not a touch damp, I suspect the flowers will burn rather than dry. DO go in short bursts - I have a regular kitchen microwave (1100? 1200? high wattage, not a mini one). The instructions say "100 seconds" but that's for a much smaller microwave (700w). I started with 30 seconds & went from there DO take the packet out after each burst, dry the plastic parts off, let it cool a few seconds, re-seal it & turn it over for each consecutive burst. DO be careful - the packet creates steam which is way hotter than you think so be cautious when you open it and touch the pads. DON'T try to pull the flowers off the linen!!! really, seriously don't or you'll ruin your hard work. Open the packet, let it cool a second and then, if any are stuck to the fabric, you can gently pull/stretch the fabric - grab opposing corners & just stretch it, turn & stretch again - you'll see the flowers come off quite easily and don't break. I'll be happy to get some more experience with it. Unfortunately, the first flowers I used gave me a terrible allergy attack so I've been a bit unwilling to try it again. It's asking about "suitability of the toy for the age" but IDK if I'd consider this a toy. That said, I think people as young as ~10-12 yrs old could work with this if they were interested. You'd want to be sure they understand microwave safety (i.e., don't put the package in for too long and remember it's HOT) and have the patience to handle the delicate dried pieces. I'm looking forward to using these in my crafts - cards, jewelry (I put the dried flowers into cured resin), etc.

I was skeptical about how well a microwave flower press could actually work, but this one is amazing!! The color was VERY preserved with the red & yellow canna blooms I pressed. I included one in the traditional press for comparison: it turned brown! With this kit you have to sandwich your flowers between two of the clothes, felt pads, & plastic plates, then wrap it all with the elastic band (ALL included). I microwaved for 10 seconds at a time, & wiped off the plastic plates each time. (It pulls out a lot of moisture!) The instructions say to wet the felt first, I did NOT do this. It seemed counterproductive, & with 10 second intervals there wasn't much risk of burning. The cloths do get stained by the flowers, but so do blotting papers in traditional pressing. These cloth ones should be machine washable, I just wouldn't use fabric softener. You can tell the flowers are done microwaving by rubbing your finger across them lightly; if they feel like paper instead of rubber, they're dried. Some small parts of the flower may still feel kind of rubbery, so I moved mine into a traditional press for a couple days to continue drying & not risk burning them. After you have finished microwaving them, let them COOL on the cloth before trying to remove. I ended up tearing my first batch because I couldn't get them off. If they have completely cooled, they come right off!

とても良い。熱処理することで虫の駆除ができて早く綺麗にできる。 同時に押し花キットを買ったのですが花束から押し花にしたのですがそちらは小さな虫が出てきていて 先にレンジでこの商品で熱処理してから押し花キットに挟むと保存もできるし良いなと思い 沢山作ることができました。お勧めできます。ただもう少し大きいか二段になっているものを買うと効率的だったかなとも思いました。お値段が結構するので躊躇しましたが虫は嫌なので熱処理できる点はとても嬉しいです。

J'adore cest magique pour faire des petite atelier de fleurs sécher avec ma petite fille recommande c'est beaucoup mieux que les mettre dans des gros livre entre les page

J'ai faite sècher au 30 sec et je suis super heureuse du résultat. Mais je vous avoue que j'ai fait le saut à la grandeur de la presse,une chance que j'ai achetée le 3 étages, je vous le recommande pour sa rapidité et l'économie de temps.

Wenn man sich an die Beschreibung hält funktioniert das einwandfrei! Endlich geht das schneller mit Pflanzen trocknen :)

Love this. Works well
