How To Preserve Flowers in Resin

Learning how to preserve flowers in resin is actually really simple, and it can easily be done at home.

Follow our step-by-step tutorial to get started...

STEP 1 Prepare The Mold

We recommend using silicone molds as it is easier to release the finished product.

STEP 2 Mix the Resin

Casting resins come in two separate parts that need to be mixed together in order for the resin to become active.

STEP 3 Pour the Base

First, pour a small amount of resin into each mold. This can be about halfway up the mold.

STEP 4 Place the Flowers

Then place your dried flowers onto this resin. Using a tweezer is the easiest way to carefully do this.

STEP 5 Cast the Mold

Slowly pour the resin over the flowers to fill up the mold. You may need to use a skewer stick to hold the flowers in place.

STEP 6 Remove the Bubbles

A simple method is to use a toothpick or skewer and simply poke the bubbles to pop them.

STEP 7 Cure the Resin

The final step is to leave the resin to harden and cure to become the finished product.
