heyyyy lovelies, in this video I am testing out this MULTI - LAYER Microwave Flower Press that was sent to me by Resiners. Resiners are the company behind the Bubblesless Vacuum chamber for removing bubbles from your resin and silicone.
This Flower press can take up to 4 layers of flowers at once. Please note this when comparing prices. I am using the flower press to dry one layer in todays video. I have always dried my flowers using much more lengthy techniques. Silica Gel and pressing between book pages or books can take days if not a few weeks. This machine take minutes. Literally minutes. I cannot believe I can cut fresh flowers and within an hour be placing them in Resin. If you ever wanted to know how to dry your flowers for Resin then I would fully recommend this Flower press. This video is sponsored yes. However, please know that I would not show a product I did not fully love and believe in.
You do not need this flower press just for Resin .. this perfect for drying your flowers for Pot Pouri or Confetti or even home decor purposes. It is an all round successful and super speedy way to dry your flowers.

PLEASE NOTE: My worktop is destroyed because of 7 years of neglect 🤣🤣🤣 It needs sanding and re-oillng .... it is not destroyed from the Flower press 🤣🤣🤣
I bought one of these last summer and dried every flower I could get my hands on. I'm a master gardener so there were a ton of flowers. When drying a lot of flowers be cautious when drying very moist flowers as they will start out very wet and you can go too fast and furious, which will make them boil from the inside out. Also, it's better to do several shorter microwaving blasts and rotating the wool pads a couple of times too keep them from burning. The biggest thing I learned was if you do several flowers without a break, you will start burning them. Take a break, let the microwave cool down, and don't push it. Most of my standard flowers only go in for 35 sec/25 sec/15 sec/ and maybe another 15 sec and they are dry.
My daughter and I just got a different brand of press last week. She is a FLOWER MUM extreme. We followed the instructions and had pressed, dried flowers in minutes! We are looking forward to trying her roses soon. Her Japanese maple tree leaves came out perfectly with as much colour as they went in with. I got my press from Amazon. Thanks Claire for your example.
Never mind 'Claire made me do it', Claire is a serious hazard to my bank balance !!!!!

🤣🤣🤣 i hear ya ... my bank will asl be taking a hit when I buy flowers every week 🤣🤣🤣
The water will turn into steam in the microwave. The steam is what drys out the flowers. I have seen one other crafter use this product. However you did a much better job of explaining it. Showing the actual instructions to us was so helpful for me. I finally felt comfortable enough to place an order for this product.

Thankyou so much 😍😍😍 I was worried about talking through so much detail but I think it's so important 😍 I'm really happy you found that helpful 😍😍
This brings me back to my childhood when I received a flower press for christmas one year! I loved that thing so much and pressed every single flower leaf and weed I could find! lol Geez they have come a long way since the flower press I had that was done between to plates with some screws and having to wait a week for them to dry! lol. Love this!
If you think about how a mircowave works compared to a press it kinda makes sense. Mircowaves boil water inside the object being mircowaved. So basically boiling out the water in the flowers quickly snd you wet it before you put it in so it doesnt burn. Pressing slowly squeezes the water out. So just by process of time the flower has time to die/change color before its perserved compared to this instantly removing the water and putting slight pressure on it to flatten it as the water leaves. I dont think this forces them to become flat i think its as the water leave the pressure is just enough to squish it. Where just time alone wouldnt squish them in that device. Definitely interested as ive tried to press flowes before and was disappointed in them losing their color and shape so much.
That is so amazing! I am blown away by the results! So cool! Thanks for sharing that!
so cool , i have done it the old fashioned way but this us awesome , thanks so much Claire
Wow! So quick and easy and they came out beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I have something similar and always amazed flowers dried in 45 seconds 😀
I'm very impressed, those lavender blossoms came out so beautifully!
Wow! So quick and easy. Really simple. Thank you. 😊😊😊
Wow!! Really amazing!
The pressed flowers came out perfect, Claire! So pretty!
this is amazing Thanks Clair
Hi Claire. Great drying technique and the flowers kept their bright color. 🥰😊😊
Great results, your instruction book gives so much more instruction than the press I bought did. Thanks for sharing as they dried perfectly😀
Excellent tutorial. Moves right along without superfluous chatter. Thanks for the link to purchase. New subscriber.
Wow what a kit!! I've been drying flowers in a sand, that takes about 3 days, i'm blown away to, by this, thanks Claire
Amazing Claire xxx
I just ordered mine. Can't wait to use it ❤
I have the Micro Fleur press. It is awesome and I feel easier than what you are showing. 70-80 seconds is all it takes 😊
Oh I’ve wanted to play with one of these for a long time it looks to work so well!
Another fab video Clair. ❤
These are beautiful. I want to plant all kinds of flowers now!!!!
Ok, Claire, now you've done it! I just can't wait to get my hands on one of these! The results you're getting are just magical. Thanks again for yet more great inspiration, and another fine video!

Absolutely wonderful informational video Claire ❤ Going in my gardes now. I have some asparagus ferny tops to do today. My asparagus was delicious this year. Take great care love you tons xoxo ❤️ 😘
I own an older version of this type of gadget. It works really well. This one yields more flowers so I’ll need to grab one for sure!
Amazing! 💕
This is amazing! I can't wait to get one and try it. I was hoping to see you throw some in a mold really quick 😂. Thanks for another great video!😍
This is amazing ❤
this is such a cute product Claire, love the design, and love your new lavender. You'll be interested to see how i pressed my flowers in todays video, i wondered if you've tried before? I love that you have so much time to make all these videos, I just don't get the time these days to make enough, so I keep saying no to all the products.....noooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great work, you're such a pleasure to watch
I've been wanting to get one of these! thank you for your testing video!!!
Cool I’m not big on waiting for things to dry like weeks in books this is very impressive x 😮
Will be waiting too see what you create👍❤️
I love This!!!
I might have to get me one of these .... and a microwave awesome video Claire thank you
This looks both easy to use and very useful! 😃 The smell must have been amazing with all that lavender!

Beautiful craft 🤩🤩👍💕
Love it going to buy one. Been looking for something like that. Saw something that u can put on glass plate and use paper towels. Going to try that also, maybe u should try wild flowers❤.
You can buy flowers from the grocery store….small ones if it is winter if you don’t have flowers in your garden.
I just ordered this. Thanks for the tip! Fingers crossed... lol!
Very nice! I have both sizes of the microfleur, and I believe your kit looks better. The microfleur dies not have vent holes, and it's easy to burn the flowers.❤
That is mind boggling! Who would have thought that wet pads could dry flowers? What fun.

Great video. I have to start saving my pennies. ❤❤❤
I love my press, I walked all around my farm looking for leaves. I popped them in the microwave for 25 seconds and that was it. The bigger flowers are not good in this unless you want them flat. I put the flowers in silicone gel crystals so they are just like they are on the bushes.
This is cool, Claire! I tried a different one of these and was so disappointed...it did not work well at all, but not I want to try THIS one!!
Hi Claire. I've been pressing flowers and leaves for years and I've made my own presses. Now I want to chunk them and get one of these. My mind is blown also. That's all I can say. How easy is that?? Thanks for showing us your new tool.
Claire, I just received e yesterday! It’s stupid amazing… I’m a pressing junkie now 😂.
Claire I love the way you explain step by step with this 😍 You made me laugh when you follow the instructions apart from getting to know your machine lmao 5 minutes is enough 😂 ( I am the same🤣 ) Great video and well done 🤩🥰 Now time to get hubby to buy you some flowers so you can do more lol 😁🌼🌺🌻🌹💐

@ClairesCraftyCorner Hmm could be? I have tried from an actual plant, I have tried straight from seeds, full sun, shade, inside indirect sun and grow lamp! Only I thing I havent done was put it directly into the ground. I figured if it wont work in a pot it wont work in my ground. 🤣
This is absolutely fantastic 😊 unfortunately they don't deliver to the canary Islands 😢😢😢😢 but I found another company 🤩🤩🤩🛒
I thought of putting grease proof paper with holes in it under the flowers to dry out instead of the cotton lining piece as the flowers always stick to it?

Where do you sell your items?
I've seen these used before, and I kinda want to get one. My only hesitation is that the flowers will eventually turn brown in resin, which is where I'd want to use them. My garden, which is pretty wild, is filled with flowers right now, and I guess you could always buy some affordable bouquets to press. And it would probably work for green plants, too. All those leaves...❤😂

Heyyyyyy Leena ...They only turn Brown if they have moisture inside .. I have Roses in Resin ... It's been 3 years. I dried them in Silica Gel and it wasn't quite long enough. However, the majority of the Roses are still pink 3 years on ... if you check out my community page .. I did a post last week 😍😍😍 flowers should not turn Brown if they are 100% dried out xx

Flowers that lose their color may be colored with alchohol ink markers.
How do you put them in resin? Do they have to be sealed with something like Mod Podge?

Am I the only one who isn’t jumping up/down for this product??? Maybe, I’ve lost my ability to take on more gadgets that require reading a booklet of information 😮😂… Im old school; hang my herbs & certain flowers to dry, or dry then press with my wooden gadget
It's tempting but £50 seems a bit much for a couple of felt pads, some plastic and fabric tbh, surely there must be a way to diy this for less.

Heyyyyy Alex, you absolutely can DIY this for FREE FREE .... 😍😍😍😍 zero money needed. Grab some books .... and some tissue... kitchen roll is best ... then lay your flowers down on the tissue ... throw more tissue on top ... more books ... and wait a few days ... or a month depending on flowers 😍😍😍 free free 😍😍😍

I have microwaved flowers in a book with absorbent paper. Make sure there are no staples in the binding. You may need to weight it down .
