An important way to the bright colors and original flower is to dry as quickly as possible. Picking flowers in a warm sunny day, is the first step. The flowers should be dry all the dew to retire. Subsequently, the media and press for drying flowers is important. I found that press using a microwave oven does not speed up the drying process, but preserves the bright color. Do you think some flowers are naturally retain their colors better than others. Asexperiment with different flowers, you learn to conserve what color are good and which not.

A print that works in a microwave oven is not difficult. You will need:

* Two 6-inch square tiles, flat on one side, ridged on the other side.
* Muslin
* Felt
* Slim, good quality elastic

If you buy a muslin and felt, choose a natural color or white.
Cut two 6-inch square of muslin and two 6-inch squares of felt.
The tiles are laid on the table with thesmooth side up.
On each card, place a square of felt.
Place a square of muslin on the felt.

Now you are ready to put flowers in your print. At the moment I put violets and wild flowers on my Sweet William. Place your flowers on the top of the muslin on one of the boxes. They want your flower with a small gap between each. If you can get a slight bend at the root, you will be able to more artistic arrangements, when you build projects with bucketsFlowers. If you ordered the flowers on one side of the tiles,
gently take the course material and place flowers on the muslin to go beyond the flowers, then felt beyond the muslin. Place the second tile on top of the fabric, his back up.

Knot a length of 16 inches of elastic (I prefer the black rubber band), use a round piece of elastic form and tape the two pieces together from one corner to the opposite corner.

Now you areready to nuke your flowers. Determine the amount of time it takes to microwave a few experiments, such as the power of the microwave oven is different and varies the thickness of the flowers. Start with an average temperature of 2 and a half minutes. Use oven gloves to remove the mold and let cool before checking. If the flowers are still moist, less control of power and microwave for 30 seconds and again. I prefer to let the press for several days and allow natural drying to complete the process. Beensure that the tiles are completely dry before another batch is cooled.
