You don't need any fancy equipment to dry in the microwave. I use any heavy, microwave safe dishes , 1 tuned upside down. I put paper towels down to soak up the water, both below and over the flowers.
We used all my enormous nursing school theory textbooks to press a large number of native wildflowers gathered in our pasture and around the county, to make a wildflower book for my daughter's 11th grade biology assignment. She collected, dried and mounted the dried flowers on white linen paper, labeled them with their scientific name and then being the art student that she is, used colored pencils to sketch an illustrated picture of each flower before inserting the pages into a clear document sleeve and putting them in a binder. She got an A.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!,Despite the recession, I'm so happy withdrawing my $23k profits out of my investment with a platform in town.
This is quite needful but for beginners you shouldn't settle for videos alone or you see yourself loosing all your money just like me when I started trading with this videos on here. We should be prepared to contribute
This fall I saved hollyhock seeds. I dried the flowers and then placed a dried petal in each seed packet so I could see the color each plant would be. My friends I shared seeds with appreciated seeing the flower color they can expect when the plants bloom.
Well, I'm a 72 year old man and I found this so interesting and inspiring. I was really watching to get ideas for 2 of my Grand daughters. You are brilliant ! Thank you.
A quick way I used to dry flowers when I wanted to use them right away was to use my regular iron on my ironing board with lightweight fabric and tissue paper. I am glad to learn a new quick way using my microwave! Thank you for showing this technique!
I remember I used to microwave flowers with my nanna when I was younger. She’d put the flowers between paper towels or old tea towels, (100% cotton). Then she’d put something heavy on top and they’d come out pretty much the same as yours :) memories xo
Hi Laura... How fun it would be to watch you build a ❤️ "Fairy Garden Town" ❤️ in your "Bed Of Grass" after your little picnic. Wouldn't the kiddo's just live it? They could move the "Fairy's " and little wheel barrows and so many other movable items, to different areas. Like an outdoor play yard/ play town. Roads, walk ways that leed to so many magical garden patches for the collected fairies to discover???
We had a speaker at our garden club who taught us to use Viva Paper Towels (they are plain with no ridges) inside of a phone book, topped with heavy books to press. Works great!
LOVE the microwave flower press! This will be a great addition to our childcare, as you know tiny humans have a short attention, so to see a finished product so fast will make our future projects much more enjoyable and rewarding! We grow our own flowers so it's a full circle education component.
I kind of chuckled at the "first taste of spring" comment Laura made 😂 The first day of Winter was December 21. It has only been winter for 3 weeks. There is still plenty of winter to go! But I feel you, the recent string of a little bit warmer weather has been really nice recently and has definitely encouraged me to get outside more. Love your videos, the grass box you have going is looking great!
I can imagine Benjamin and Samantha in decades to come reminiscing over how their parents grew them an indoor lawn once, such a fun and endearing memory.
Please remember to enjoy your life too :) If RUclips isn’t your full time job you don’t have to feel guilty about not updating ❤ keep doing your best! You’re awesome
You Miss Laura are awe inspiring, God bless you for all you teach us. At my age I am proud to say you are keeping me a sponge who loves coming to class. My husband & I can't wait to share some of the things you've taught us with our children and our little granddaughters. 💗💗
I absolutely love the pressed flower idea to frame and hang on the wall. Easy to change up every season if you wanted. So my husband is looking at me as I watch this and is going to make me a press how do would we have saved in the garage. Every time I watch GA, he looks at me knowing he’s got either a hole to dig, potting soil to pick up, or a craft to assist me with. I love all the ideas thank you so much for your inspiration.
The dried flowers look so beautiful lining the wood tray. Could you pour thin layer of resin on top and and have a beautiful tray bottom forever? That would be so pretty!
After discovering your chicken coop video, I then watched two other videos you have created. Thank you for producing quality videos with terrific information we can all use. I grow flowers in the garden; however, I have never dried flowers. I will in 2023. Thanks for the inspiration and information.
Your pressed flowers are so beautiful! Have you ever thought of publishing a Garden Answer Pressed Flower book with photos of layouts? I would definitely buy it! Now that would be a fun project for you if you had the time since you have an artistic eye 🌱🌺🌹🌸🌻
Oh I love this project. Now what I would love is to see what you plan for all the dried flowers. I loved you resin candle. I really want to make some resin jewelry. Thanks so much Laura.
☕️Good morning everyone. Anything green looks so inviting and brings about that longing for springtime here in the Midwest with snow on the way. Thank you, Laura. Enjoy a safe and happy day everyone 🌱🌷
Wow! Next thing i go shopping for! Microwave flower press! Flowers turn out beautifully!! Thank u for introducing new and fun projects to do, especially in winter!! 👍🥳🥶☔️🎉🌼🌸🌺💕
When I saw that beautiful wood tray with all the flowers you just processed , all I could thing about was arranging them in the tray and covering w a thin layer of resin ….. what a beautiful thing to serve drinks/tea with !!!! Thanks for the great ideas!!!
So beautiful and fun! I don't cut my flowers from my garden cause of my double trouble kitties will eat them. Now that I just bought my Microwave Flower Press Kit today I can enjoy making these and give to family and friends. 💜🌺🌸Thanks Laura for sharing and the inspiration!
Wow, I'm very impressed!!! Drying flowers never entered my mind. A lot of fun projects, Laura you are so awesome. Thank you for teaching us this fun project. A lot of 💜 coming from Arizona. Stay safe everyone
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🌞🇺🇸 We are a bit chilly this morning, 52°F 🌞 Great time to weed and get ready for planting seeds Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
In the 70’s I embedded pressed flowers between two sheets of clear glass centered in my stained glass window hangings. Bridal bouquet keepsakes . Better hung on an interior wall than sun fading window exposure . Also , used in Preschool projects decorating glass candle votives and white glue . Fun !!!Fun !!!Fun!!!
Laura your microwave flower drying press Is amazing looks like so much fun to do as a winter project thanks for sharing that your such a fun and awesome person love your videos
Did anyone else think the back side of the microwaved flowers looked pretty neat too? I loved the green stem as a center! I’ve never found pressed flowers very appealing but this microwave method is fantastic. Thanks for introducing it!
That little raised bed of grass looks perfect for a mini fairy land - with a few bonsais and winding pathway and Laura’s creativity with creating miniature fairy gardens…that space could be turned into a really cute mini garden.
Arranging some of the flowers and greens in a nice design on the wooden trays. Then you could cover them with resin/epoxy, would make beautiful serving trays. So many options with dried flowers. And definitely a fun project on a gloomy day!
Good morning. I just added that micropress to my Amazon wishlist. Thank you. Beautiful flowers. I also love your traditional press, it looks antiqueish (new word?) and I love that.

@@heatherd212 I used some houseplant leaves to try it. 2 glass pie plates with flannel, parchment paper, leaves, parchment then flannel. Plates nested nicely but I added a bowl of water on top for weight. 30 second increments, 4 times. It worked good!!

I for one cannot wait for the update and see what you might do with all those beautiful dried flowers/leaves. MAYBE a beautiful spring wreath? I don’t remember if you did a video on the salt dough ornaments,? but would love to see one? I wonder how poinsettia flowers 🌺 and leaves would look dried? So many options! As far as remembering to do a update, maybe you can keep a journal of the projects that you do somewhere where you can look at it everyday and check them off as you update? Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed this video! 😊
Wow, such a fun indoor activity! The bright colors are sooo refreshing and invigorating! Can't wait to see what you do with these delicate beauties, Laura! Linda
I love to press flowers with a bunch of books that I have. Then I lay them in two pieces of plexiglass, like the one you have in the chicken coop, one on the top and the other in the bottom so the flowers look like they’re floating. It looks gorgeous, you should try it
The pressed flowers turned out beautifully! They didn't even look real! I've not heard of the Microwave flower press. Something to look in to! Thank you for sharing with us!
Wow! That is CRAZY. The microwave press was so fast and easy. This changes things for me. I have never worked with dried flowers because they take so long but wow! Laura you show us so many new and beautiful things. It is a BLESSING for all your viewers that we have you in our life. Thank you for all you do! ❤❤❤
Laura, Easter will be here before we know it. Perhaps you can do something creative with the grass area then for Easter. Your children would love that!
HELLO FROM TEXAS - Hope you are having a Happy Birthday time. This video, so interesting. The micro process, well, let's face it......we all would rather do that. Everything turned out so beautiful, and yes, amazing that the colors stayed on a good part of them. Just beautiful. Love to you all, and your hard working staff.
Thank you for talking about damping off of seedlings. I've never heard of this before and when I saw the picture I realized that's what happened to some of my succulents and coleus cuttings. Could you talk more about damping off? Do you have experience with it affecting anything other than your seedlings? Thanks in advance!
Had to chuckle at your comment because I too have stacks of old phone & coffee table gardening books filled with flowers from years back. The microwave is quick & easy but I wonder if a dehydrator might also work?
Thank you Laura, this was so interesting. I so much want to purchase one of those Microwave flower drier ohhh my goodness looks like so much fun to do. I would have a blast with this. Thank you again for sharing ❤️😊😊😊
😘Hi Laura, I love you videos. They are so informative and helpful for me. I love Russel’s photo bombs. Have you thought of putting a heated cat house in the greenhouse for your kitties? I put a heated cat house outside for a kitty that was abandoned by a neighbor when they moved away. So I try to keep the kitty well fed, warm and safe. 😻
This was so fun to watch! Excited to see what you will create with them. I was a big time drier of flowers in the 1970's using silicone or pressing in thick, weighted down books. The anticipation of their outcome + how they turned out was like opening presents. Well, they were. Presents from nature! Thanks as always for sharing! 🌸🌼
Good morning Laura! This is one of the myraid of ways that I love Garden Answer. You are always showing me things I wasn't aware of. I think this would be a great supervised project for a children's art class. On it! Mother's Day is around the corner! Hugs from N.C..❤️ P.S. Happy early Birthday to Benjamin!🎂🎊🎈

Hi Laura, 🐔 🌱🥬 Thank you for the update on the chicken fodder, lettuce and lawn. It’s encouraging to see them all come together successfully so far. 🌸🌹 I did not consider flower pressing until I saw all your lovely past projects and the microwave option. I have been converted. 👏 Even if you forget to update us, I wouldn’t mind, as the content is always interesting and enjoyable to watch.
Microwave drying looks like fun got my mind going in the past I would dry flowers and make cards. Would make them in a small frame and glue the card to the back of the frame a gift and card in one. Microwave is the way to go...off I go, buy myself a Microwave drying set thx for sharing
I didn’t know that microwave flower drying was a thing. I always learn something from you. Thank you, Laura!

Microwave drying looks like fun got my mind going in the past I would dry flowers and make cards. Would make them in a small frame and glue the card to the back of the frame a gift and card in one. Microwave is the way to go...off I go, buy myself a Microwave drying set thx for sharing
I recall you making a paper weight with the resin and pressed flowers.
So Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you 😊
