How To Preserve a Full Rose in Resin!

[@Cass0418]

You have helped me so much, I’ve been watching you since I lost my daughter back in Nov. I didn’t know what to do with all her beautiful flowers, and after finding your videos I’ve been able to preserve them and make beautiful crafts. I’d love to share the pics with you. You are a beautiful soul. I owe all my crafting to you!❤️❤️

[@danyellfowler5333]

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter I could never imagine how hard that must be. Shes helped me do the same for my grandparents funeral/burial flowers and for my grandpas he rode horses so I'm gunna try putting a 3in horseshoe in a 4in cube and put his rose in the middle of the horseshoe and mount it on top of a light up base so it can be a night light for the living room. There are so many things you can do with resin art it baffles me! I hope everything works out beautifully with your daughter's flowers! You can make lamps, wall art, book markers and even jewelry! I'm Christian so I'm going to pray for you and your heartbreak and hope your art does just what you need it to and works out! It's nice to know someone else out there is also using resin to celebrate a wonderful beautiful life that deserves to be remembered and preserved!

Beautiful! I've been saving roses every Valentines Day since my partner and I started dating. 1 from the first year, 2 from the second, 3 from the third and so on. This year will be our 6th year and now that I am doing resin art, I decided to buy a large, tall floor vase and resin from the bottom up, each layer containing the roses I've kept over the years and continue to receive in the future. This video came at the perfect time because we were JUST talking about my idea on Friday. :)

Thank you so much for posting this!! My grandma passed away from cancer last year (2 months from diagnosed to passed) and my grandpa ALWAYS bought her a dozen red roses for there birthday and anniversaries. Yesterday marked one year sence she passed and he bought her roses. I really want to save a few and give them to a few people in my family. I was starting to get worried I would not be able too but This is definitely the best tutorial I have found. Thank you!

[@caitscreatures]

I just lost my little brother, and best friend, a few days ago who was a year younger than me. He gave me resin and always wanted me to use it. I am so grateful for your video as I am going to resin the flower I picked from his casket before my baby brother went down. Thank you so much for making this video.

I just lost my daughter, I had molds made of her hands and feet and I’m going around trying to find the best way to preserve them. I’ve come to the conclusion that resin is my best bet. You’ve gave me so much motivation to give it a try. I was so scared to ruin them.

[@nicoleswanson4128]

I don’t know if you can, but would you try preserving dried succulents in resin?

[@kirishima6317]

I NEED TO SEE THAT!!!

[@wildhearses]

I think this would be impossible- succulents are mainly water so once you dried them out they would just shrivel up into nothing. I would be really cute though.

[@Johanna77777-z]

What you can do is a silicon mold of a succulent and then do colored resin and the you can put THAT in clear resin!

[@TiffanyinOklahoma]

They would need to be freeze dried first.

I wanna say so much for making this video. My sister passed away recently n my mom gave me one of the bouquets but im not great with flowers so i thought it be best to dry some out and preserve them in resin so its something we can always keep. This video means alot to me because of that.

[@mahala6198]

Use silica sand or gel it’s in most craft stores me and my mom dried out flowers from her grandmothers yard!

[@grizzlytroutfishing8472]

Silica gel do you coat the rose and let it sit or do you dry the rose first the the sili a gel?

[@timkickinkuiken]

That is amazing!!! Every little girl would love that, I know my niece would. So many people want to touch a flower to get close but in doing so ruin it by touch it. If you sold those, I know men and fathers would be lining up. Such a great gift . I know I’d buy a couple

I will also be getting married August 1st and will be trying to preserve flowers from it as well! I hope you realize just how much your helping people capture memories in a way that's more alive than a picture something you can use as home decor! (My grandpa was a cowboy he was amazing at what he did and riding was everything to him since he learned to walk!) I'm going to put a 3in horseshoe in the mold and put the rose in the center wish me luck! I'm also putting it up in a light up base and I'm really hoping it turns out! If you have any pointers, advice or an opinion on doing the horseshoe please let me know! LOVE your mad art skills girl keep it up!

Yes. Timing is everything if u wait too long its more noticeable. Dont let it set completely before pouring the next layer.. try 4 hrs or so around there..

Yes! Soo glad you have plans to focus on polishing in the future. Polishing spheres is something I’ve been struggling with lately, so I love that I’ll have someone figuring it out with me (or most likely for me, as I don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to my crafts alongside my full time job 😬) That rose turned out beautiful!! Love that floating look! I need to get in the habit of simple designs/pours. I would’ve been soo tempted to throw just a few little gold glitters in there. Just a touch of fine gold glitter, but I’m a glitterholic sooo…..😜

Hi I've been watching you since your very first videos (I'm a resin crafter myself!) And I just want to say I'm proud of how far you've come now! I don't really comment much but I've been there when you first poured resin to a big sphere mold and it kind of heated up too quickly and you were calling it some kind of boob bomb (?) I forgot the term!! And also I was there when you were still using the torch and when you've announced how heat guns do a better job in popping bubbles! Just thought of those videos when I saw the parts where you mentioned how heat guns are much better and how when you're pouring in a big mold, you should not pour it all at once in this video, and you don't know me but I'm proud of how much you've learned through the months. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Really learned a lot from you and your videos, and they're such a big help, sorry for the long message ❤️
