Embed flowers

Embed flowers into resin to make pendants for jewelry or decorative accessories for your home. Molds for making resin designs are available at craft stores, but you can use other items from around your homes such as a cardboard egg carton, small bowl, or cookie cutter. To use a cookie-cutter, tape one side with packaging tape to keep the resin inside the mold.

Description

Dry flower arrangements provide an inexpensive and low maintenance alternative to fresh flowers. They also last longer, thus decorating a spot for several months to years, depending on the method used. Drying flowers and lilies is a simple process that does not require particular skill or experience, and can be completed at home. For best results, make sure you collect flowers or foliage close to their prime.

Description

Lower the flower into the container and press the stem down into the silica gel. Add several flowers, but make sure they do not touch one another. Add silica gel to the container until the flowers are completely immersed. Use a toothpick to reposition any petal that bends due to the weight of the silica gel.
