Preserving Flowers In Epoxy Resin - Easy DIY Guide

[@Lilsweetings]

This is gorgeous! I'm doing this with all of the boquets that my boyfriend has given. I've been drying and preserving flowers from each bouquet to surprise him.

[@ArtNGlow]

That is a beautiful idea! We would love to see it when you finish.

Does your flower change colour when put into resin? Mine does? How to overcome this

[@debratowerton5305]

absolutely stunning I have a client that wants me to do one, she gave me dried roses that she had for weeks im placed them in the oven just to make sure they are dried a little more. first time doing one of these.

[@vonnie4781]

I just came across your videos! I was needing some help getting the tie dye look with alcohol. Now I’m going through and looking at some more. I’m really enjoying them! Thank you! I appreciate your help!

[@aiga.cirule]

How much resin did you used for this project? And also what is the size of the mold? 🙏😊

[@Indpendnt27]

Beautiful.

[@emiliel-s3396]

Amazing video! So from what I understand, i CAN'T put fresh flowers in resin ? I have to dry them first ? Or do a "tub of silica gel" ?? I'm trying to preserve flowers from my dad funeral so I really want to have it perfect. It's not my first time with resin tho.

[@JiahnKang-o4h]

Hi-! Thank you for the video, I have a question, almost at the end before taking the paint tape off, what is the liquid drop around the edge you added on top of the blue tape before using your heat gun?

[@lizzygabbs5765]

What kind of epoxy did you used last? Was that a special casting epoxy?

[@kristaal7820]

I love it!

[@khushisamrat1288]

Can we pore leaf directly into the mould & if it's not dry then there is no problem na?

[@RaniNoviani]

impressive😍😍😍😍😍

[@heatherdaniel7765]

Looks great! You could have done less layers with a deep pour resin (you can pour up to 2 inches at a time with that).

[@carmenencarnacion2510]

do you usea Pressure Pot or a Vacuum Chamber for the resin?

[@klarahornakova331]

Naozaj krásna práca kde sa dajú kúpiť

[@silverguardiancreations2014]

Thanks for sharing about how many ozs did you use. I use 1:1 ratio

[@ArtNGlow]

Thank you for your question! We used approx. 35-40 ounces of resin for this project. Be sure to pour the resin in several layers and let cure, not all at once. This helps ensure you get a full cure and the final result turns out beautifully. 🙂

[@cgcjaspirants2599]

​@@ArtNGlowhey mam can we use 2:1 for flower presentation

[@Resin-Squishy]

Sehr schön ,woher kaufst du deine resin ?

[@Peacheslaroo]

Can you explain the silica drying process?

[@bernadettebento1419]

Can you do ths with silk flowers as well?

[@michaelsmark]

If you sand down the tops do you have to do any other steps before pouring again. I just want to make sure I don’t see the sanded layer of the epoxy.

[@Haseena0786..]

Super 👌

[@terecee1204]

How do you preserve the fresh flowers to keep their colours?

[@johnshannonmossbarger9451]

What size is the mold used for this project? I am wanting to do this with my stepmom's flowers from her funeral and would like to get everything before I start it. Thank you!

[@kamaljitsingh1871]

[@erjolatoli5199]

what is the name of that liquid that you threw at the bottom after removing the bulbar??

[@thaibaharthad7264]

Can we use 2:1 ratio for flower preservation?

[@marisollopez1372]

What was your wait time between the 7 layers? 2-3 hours, 3-5 hours, 24 hours after 6th or 7th layer? Or is final flood pour the 7th layer? 72 hours after final flood pour to avoid scratches and fully cure. I want to do my first project using a mold similar in size to yours. Please advise.

[@ArtNGlow]

HI! You can check out the project guide here: www.artnglow.com/pages/flower-preservation-with-resin Megan waited approximately 6 hours between pouring each layer. She waited approximately 24 hours before pouring the final topcoat.

[@ABOVETHECLOUDS007]

Ok so I’m assuming it won’t create More bubbles after you let a layer completely dry then pour another layer of resin on ? And or will it leave like a double layer film on top where you could tell like a line in the middle sorry if I sound confusing🙄🤣🙄, also IF I start making these I’d want to sell them but since resin is expensive would it be wrong to charge between $50 to $80 dollars in that price range ? And is it ok to use pre dried flowers like you would buy at Joann’s OR Michaels? Thanks so much🌹🌹

[@ArtNGlow]

Just make sure to mix your resin properly to avoid bubbles. You can also use a lighter/torch or toothpick to pop any surface bubbles. It's good practice to do a light sanding between layers to avoid "seam" lines - and yes, pre-dried flowers should work just fine! 💙

[@ABOVETHECLOUDS007]

[@brindazala4370]

Can i use hair dryer instead of heat gun?

[@oyamitchell]

WARNING!!! ⚠DO NOT DO A FLOOD POUR WITHOUT SANDING YOUR PIECE!!! I did it without sanding after watching this video, and almost destroyed a very beautiful piece!

[@shovanabajracharya]

I think this was just a top coat rather than flood pour idk.

[@kamyapandey8355]

Can I do this with air dried flowers?

[@viktoriag8612]

[@afinakhalidah7854]

Is it necessary to always sand the surface b4 top coat?

[@ArtNGlow]

Sanding before adding a top coat is not necessary but it helps A LOT when it comes to removing any small imperfections in your project.

[@ns515]

Can you use artificial flowers

[@orawanjan3442]

สวยมากๆคร่า

[@ellaella1901]

Hello :) do i have to wait 24 hours each time before pouring the next layer ?

[@ArtNGlow]

That's correct, for this project Megan let each layer cure for 24 hours. 🙂

[@floralwings]

If I pour after 24 hours, there are layers of resin visible from the sides. How can I avoid it?

[@ArtNGlow]

When adding multiple layers, let each one sit for about 6 hours before adding the next. If it's been more than 48 hours, a light sanding with 220 grit sandpaper can smooth out any visible seams.@@floralwings

[@bez9481]

​@ArtNGlow do you sand while it's still in the mold? In my mind, I would be worried I would scrape the resin mold. I have a project coming up and I my anxiety is through the roof as it is my first bigger piece for a memorial and I am petrified I am going to mess it up😭

[@srishefar902]

Thank youuuu

[@stoikusu5084]

Where do i get the tools, what is this liquid, what is this box called, what flowers do i use, are they dried or fresh, can i use both dried and fresh, what the heck does sanding mean, is this liquid toxic, do i HAVE to use a torch?? Because not everyone has such a thing.

[@selvadas-n1r]

Hi,what type of blue tape is that?

[@amberrousey8674]

So with each layer does it have to cure for 24 hours until the final flood coat?

How much resin is used to made this .?? Can you plz tell me the quantity

[@Vincent-xe7jr]

So you pour one layer in first then leave it for 24 hours? then add the remaining layer?

[@ArtNGlow]

We recommend giving your resin at least 3 hours to thicken into a gel-state before adding additional layers.

[@Vincent-xe7jr]

@@ArtNGlow ahh okie thank you

[@lolaready2562]

What do I use to preserve the flowers

[@ArtNGlow]

There are many different ways to dry the flowers. A couple of recommended ways are to let them air dry by hanging you bunch of flowers upside down. Or you can also submerge your flowers in silica gel for a few weeks to remove the moisture.

[@RRH-hl6ok]

Can I take fresh flowers ?

[@ArtNGlow]

Hi! You want to be sure to completely dry out your flowers or else they will decompose in your finished project!

[@lanaxulordava420]

what time we need to use new layers . time between them ?

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!!! How would I epoxy my wife’s purse to honor her and preserve it??? (Does anybody know how to do this?)

[@ArtNGlow]

We are so sorry for your loss, that is a beautiful idea for a tribute. We recommend pouring thin layers, making sure to torch away any bubbles, and letting them cure enough until they are tacky - this will serve as a base for your objects to rest on.

Like what's silica gel and why is that important or going to have different result from untreated dried flowers

[@WubblyUnicorn]

@@coyowolf4609you know those “do not eat” packets in jerky bags? Its that and they pull out moisture better than leaving them out to dry

[@Darcbeautifaery]

KZbin has a ton of more detailed videos but the silica is used to dry the flowers since you can not put fresh flowers in resin. Without drying they will wither and change colors as the resin dries. I hope this helped some.

[@krishnansh_30]

Did u get any detailed video

[@masterinico]

@@coyowolf4609silica are those tiny clear beads in packets when you buy products like a new coat or anything electronic off Amazon. They absorb moisture very well. The flowers go into a container filled with them to help hold the shape while pulling all the moisture out of the flower petals so they don’t wilt. It’s a step one can’t skip.
