I don’t know if you’ve covered this is any previous videos- but if your uv resin ever dries tacky, here is a neat little trick to fix it... Simply pop it in a cup/dish of water (just enough to cover the entire item) and give it another round under the uv light! When it comes out of the water, it will be tacky-free!☺️👍 Of course this might not be a practical fix for EVERY possible situation. Like, if it’s a really large/unwieldy project, or something that can’t be fully immersed in water-and obviously it’s far better to avoid the issue from the get-go... But in a pinch, this trick has definitely saved my bacon with smaller items, more times than I care to remember! 😆
I'll definitely try that! I have some weird UV resin that just doesn't want to cure ever, not under sunlight or anything. I usually put a layer of manicure top coat on it, but I hope this water method will work ❤️ thank you for the idea!
I have done this occasionally and it works a treat. It didn’t work on my Batman logo, l had a brain fart, the light couldn’t get through the black so it was all squishy inside, we live and learn 🤪🤣
@@moirasharpe2541 Honestly, even though I know better, I STILL occasionally forget about not going super opaque and dense with my colors in UV resin! In fact, I actually just did it ONCE AGAIN a couple weeks ago! 😆
If you are hesitant about buying this item, don't be! I saw this used on TH-cam and knew I needed it. It's been sitting for about 2 weeks, just been busy. So today I was pruning my petunias and several fell off or needed to be removed. So I thought it was the perfect time to try it out. It worked so well I went in the yard to get a few different things to try. And it worked wonderfully for everything I tried! I will say the instructions are a bit confusing. Do NOT wet the pieces of cloth that you put the floral on. Only wet the felt pads. Don't worry if some of the color comes off the flowers, it won't bleed onto other flowers. I did 34 flowers and a ton greenery in an hour! Late last summer I spent an entire day trying a diy method. Lost the color, or burnt nearly all of the floral I used. This thing did the exact opposite and seemed to enhance the colors. And as long as you go slow you won't burn anything, my microwave is 1100 watts. If you do something VERY delicate, Iike petunias, I suggest using pointy, curved tweezers to separate the flowers from the cloth or you will definitely rip them. It only takes a little patience and getting to know your microwave and the different floral for the burst times needed. It will vary depending on the wattage of your microwave and the moisture content of the floral you are using. No more buying pressed/dried flowers again!!! Thank you Steve!
Thanks Steve! Your videos are fantastic because your projects aren't necessarily meant to be duplicated. Instead, you teach technique and experiment with different products which is exactly what I need. You have saved me lots of time and money helping me get it right the first time and helping me find options I didn't know I had. I probably won't dry my own flowers yet but I have poured a bunch of different resin butterflies to use in jewlery and they all look too plastic and I don't like them. Dried pansy wings is genius though and I wouldn't have thought of that on my own so I wanted to thank you for that. I truly appreciate all your efforts!
The aboofx product is a great little item but please be careful as you could quite easily cause a fire or burn your flowers if on full power for too long. I recommend short bursts of 5-10 seconds. Re-position flower/leaves to a drier spot then go again. Quite time consuming but worth it. Write results in a journal for the next time you use it. Different flowers/ leaves have different drying times.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts just like you, I’m quite impatient with having to wait several days (or weeks) for my pressed flowers... But fighting with all of the fading/discoloration and inconsistent results, was the main reason why I stopped doing the clothes ironing trick! Thank you for showing us this fantastic tool-I’m so excited to go buy one to play with! 😁👍
Neato! I'd like to see the results in a succession of months to check the colors. Some of my traditional pressed flowers have discolored over time or even from the get go because I didn't seal them.
Very cool, but still skeptical how steaming it can dry it. Please make a video in a month or so and show us how they look. Just a worry, not yours, but I would really love to see them later to see if center bits were still damp. Thanks Steve! Love your videos have learned so much.
I paused the video at 4 minutes and DIYed my own microwave flower press in about 2 minutes. I had some beautiful, fresh roses in the house, so I decided to experiment on the rose petals - it worked perfectly the second time I tried (I burnt the first petal slightly in the middle). This is an absolute game changer, and it cost me absolutely nothing. Thanks a mill for this video! 👍💐
I shared this video on Facebook, in hopes a friend or family member will see it & get me ANYTHING from your links. I even hope to get flowers because there aren't many more in my area now. I gotta have this microwave thingie!
Try laying them out on a DRY paper towel, topped with another paper towel, weighed/pressed with a CERAMIC dish (casserole type) heat in microwave ON DEFROST for 1 min. Check; return & heat in 30 sec intervals. Just try it.😍
Hi Steve. Thankx for bringing this little gem to my attention. It's very affordable, and I can't wait to buy one. I've been pressing my flowers and leaves in books. This will save me a lot of time and money. Thankx for showing how to use it.
Oh my gosh, I ordered this the minute the video was over!! I have so many great flowers in my yard this summer. I was dreading doing the old press and dry routine. Thank you Steve! You're the best🤩
WOW!!! MY NEXT PURCHASE!!! This seems like a MUST for anyone who wants to dry flowers for their projects....Stay safe, you do you, and stay creatively crafty👍👍🔔🔔👉👉🦋🦋

Am so excited to get something that will work like this! 👍😊 Love all your projects; the leaf earrings, the flower butterflies, the vase, and the coaster. ❤
I have placed the flowers between cotton lawn fabric covered with 100% wool coasters or wool ironing pads. Your microwave method is way better. Going to buy if there are any left.

I will most definitely be getting one of those flower dehydrators. Once again, you've made my day by showing us newer products to try in our arts and crafts! Love all your videos!💜
One of my first UV resin projects was a pair of earrings out of boxwood leaves. They turned out pretty, but when I started to drill the holes, the resin just popped off the leaves. 😅 Therefore my advice: make sure to cover the rim, too.
So excited. I Live in Texas and we have flowers in our garden 10 months of the year . I have sooo many Zinnias looking at me now . I can’t wait to see with the rest.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I just started drying flowers and I'm already sick of waiting for them to dry 😂😂😂 Oddly enough I'm drying pansies (my favorite flower) from my garden 😁😁😁
Love this, can't wait to try. I am fairly new to drying or pressing flowers. Has anyone successfully dried or pressed a magnolia? I dried one in silica gel and in 2 days it was almost completely dry but just yellow and brown.
Great video Steve. I think the things you used the flowers for were great and every different. Steve, have you ever thought of making a home made version of that flower dryer by any chance? The reason I ask is because I would love to dry my garden flowers, but I can't afford the price of the dryer you used. I thought of asking you because.you are really good at making home made version of commercial products, like you did with your iPad stand and your own titanium white resin colour. Feel free to say no. No pressure intended. God bless you and your family.
Can you tell me please, when you drill through the leaves, doesn't that expose the leaf to the air as you effectively take away the resin and it doesn't set in the leaf?
I made a bunch of leaf earrings just like these two years ago and worried about moisture getting into the leaves and ruining them over time. So I gave them a little extra effort, drilled the holes a bit bigger and carefully covered the rim inside the holes with resin using a tiny brush. I also covered the outer rim since the resin just popped off the leaves when I didn't. They still look nice.
Absolutely beautiful! You can't beat nature for the real thing! This is the first that I've heard about a special microwave for drying flowers. Now I know how people can get real colorful flowers to last in resin. So, these flowers won't turn brown? Pardon me if you said that but I am 90% deaf and cc just gets in the way of your technique. Now, on to price a different microwave. Do they come with the tools needed to dry or is that seperate? Anyway, I totally enjoyed this video and am so happy I found a way to quickly dry flowers. Alas, my new recent dried flowers fell apart and didn't retain their colors. Thank you so much!🌼⚘👍😊
