I loved this video and I really need your help with floating large items in epoxy…My wife has passed and I I want to create a large glasslike epoxy piece with her personal and most favorite belongings inside of it to like some of her favorite things inside of it like her perfume bottles, some of her high end makeup, her quite large designer hand bag, her sunglasses and several pictures. I feel this would be the perfect way to preserve her items and honor my best friend and my wife and I know you are the only person in the whole world that can help me make this a reality…PLEASE HELP ME Honor Her In The BEST Way I Know She Would Love!!!

[@juliespin1772]

This video is what inspired me to work with flowers ❤

[@KirstenLeafromItaly]

That is beautiful! I am currently working on a square memorial like that with roses from my dad’s funeral and a pyramid from my grandma’s. I have silica now but I didn’t when I dried those flowers. Did the traditional and hung them upside down until they were dry. They still maintained their color, mostly. I use the blue silica that changes to pink when they are spent. And I am also using Let’s Resin brand resin. It’s my favorite. I used it to dip the flowers in to seal them. They look like candied roses now. 😂 thanks for the tips in this video! ❤❤❤

[@LETSRESIN]

You're very welcome! we're glad the tips in the video were helpful for you🥰🥰❤

[@calivibes_84]

Wow I’m here for the same reason (my dad’s flowers) just a month later. I’m sorry for your loss. 😔 Hope you are happy with your project. How did it turn out?

[@KirstenLeafromItaly]

@@calivibes_84 thank you for your condolences. I’m so sorry for your loss as well. Losing a parent, especially one you’re close to, is difficult. He died right before thanksgiving and I’m still trying to process it. I haven’t completed them yet. They are multiple layer projects that take days to complete. I will post them in a video here when iam done

[@calivibes_84]

@@KirstenLeafromItaly Aw man the holidays must have been hard I’m sorry 🙁 Oh ok I’ll have to follow you to see how it turns out! I feel like the more I learn about this the more likely I am to just pay someone to do it. It’s a lot! 😬

[@MsFlagWaver]

I searched out videos for the same reason. We just had my mom’s funeral a week ago and i have so many beautiful flowers. I took the sprays apart and put them in vases but now I want to preserve as many as I can.

[@thecraftywitch510]

Lovely. Resin is so expensive i dont think this is a hobby i could keep up with.

[@MileyonDisney]

Hello. A few months ago, I won some Let's Resin resin in your giveaway. I've been using your silicone kit for making molds for a long time, but never tried your resin. I was amazed at how good it is. For bubble-free results, I usually use a 3:1 resin. But your 1:1 resin is incredibly bubble-free! I've tried many different brands, and had a few that I used more than others, but once I tried Let's Resin, I haven't been using anything else. The difference is CRAZY! Thanks again for hipping me to your resin. Oh - and your preserved flowers project is beautiful!

[@LETSRESIN]

Thanks so much for sharing your working experience with our resin.So glad to know that! Enjoy crafting!!🤗💕

[@cindykowalyk1573]

Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. I have watched quite a few of your tutorials. In one of them you used something to mix the resin together. Where do you purchase the plastic ( looks like a beater) mixer that mixes the resin?

[@genligason9871]

This is so pretty! Just curious if you dried the leaves as well?

This presentation answered so many questions regarding this craft. Wonder though . . . where did you get the wood slats to hold the mold? Thank you.

The wooden slats were included in this mold. 😉

[@lalithasubramaniam2677]

Very beautiful. Should we. Have to add layers after allowing drying time to the previous layer? How much dring time for each layer?

Yes, correct. Sometimes need to wait for 8-10 hours for curing

[@poojatalreja1838]

Hiii...you have direct put flowers in the mould first....or first you pour resin layer?

You can reuse the silica beads

[@jesusislord102]

Wonderful video, thank you! I plan to do this with my wedding flowers next year but we go on our honey moon for 3 weeks straight after the wedding. Will the flowers be ok in the silica gel for 3 weeks?

[@thehivetopeka]

Your flowers will be fine in the silica gel. It takes several weeks for the flowers to dry in silica. I have been preserving for years. You will love the outcome.

[@dreadsolar3799]

So beautiful it just takes so longggg

[@LETSRESIN]

Yeah that's true. But we all love how it turns out, so it's definitely worth it🥰

[@ViewtifulVash]

Don't you need to scuff up the final layer after applying the sticker for the resin to properly bond since it has become fully hard at that point? Also since it is fully hard do you need a layer line on the side now since it wasn't poured when the resin was still in it's tacky phase?

[@floralwings]

Hey, how to avoid resin layers visible on sides of the finished product. I poured in 6 hour interval and still they're visible

[@monk099]

Hii did your problem solved? If yes thn how

[@renaeshackleford2248]

You have to sand it down then polish

[@Punks1010]

how many hours to wait before you apply next layer to next until you reach the top?

For how long do you cure it between each layer? Beautiful work!

Around 6-8 hours until the resin gets into gel phase.😊

[@ViktoriyaPaige]

Thank u! I’ve been hesitating 😅

[@yasmeensalman7417]

Very nice ❤

[@LETSRESIN]

Many thanks 💞

[@chescadayalo]

Can i reuse the silica gel? Also how do you prevent resin from having bubbles?

[@LETSRESIN]

Yes the times you can reuse depend on the silica gel's quality. Using resin to fill in the gaps of the flowers first and pouring in layers can greatly decrease the bubbles. Also, a self-degassing resin is also important! 😊😉

[@keirstenjohnson3436]

How do you cute the resin do you do both a&b mixed first

[@izzymalik6575]

Please can you do a video explain how much resin A and Resin B harder you need for different moulds? Do you wait 24hrs once it’s dried to do another layer on other products designs?

[@LETSRESIN]

Hey there, thank you for your comment. For your first question, you can use water to measure and the amount is vary from different molds. For the second question, we wait until the resin completely cured and them do another designs. 😊
