Method 2 - MicrowaveFor this method I loosely followed a YouTube video from HGTV Handmade. Click here to access. Supplies:
On a paper towel place your flower face up. Either fold your paper towel in half or grab another one to place on top of the flower. Set your sandwiched paper towels in the microwave. Grab a microwave safe dish e.g., Pyrex glassware or something to add weight. Place your glass dish directly on top of the paper towels. Since my microwave is 900 watts, I set mine to half power and microwaved in 15 second intervals. In total I microwaved my flower for 45 seconds. Using this method, I noticed that one of the corona outer lobes got slightly burnt on the edge and the pink center turned purple. I like how the size of the flower did not shrink as much as the silica gel method. However, I feel like the microwave method did not preserve the bloom as nicely.
