Some factors that can affect the outcome are the type and size of the flowers, the thickness and material of the paper towel, and the power of your microwave. Maybe you can try adjusting some of these variables and see if you get better results. For example, you can use thinner or more absorbent paper towels, cut the stems shorter, or reduce the microwave time. You can also check on the flowers every 30 seconds to see how they are doing. I hope you don’t give up on this method and find a way to make it work for you. Let me know if you have any questions or need more tips. I’m here to help!]]> In reply to Amy.

I put them in for a total of 2 1/2 minutes.

Last time I tried to press flowers they molded in the frame. I think this method will ensure they are 100% dry! Thank you!
