Pressing flowers

Gather dry, blemish-free specimens (we used marguerite daisies, violas, kalanchoe and foliage) and snip off stems close to the base of the flower heads.

Press flowers immediately according to instructions on Microfleur Microwave Flower Press, placing flowers and foliage on felt pad and leaving space between each one.

Carefully place the second felt pad on top, followed by the microwaveable plate, and snap Microfleur closed using supplied clips.
