To be more precise, embedding wildflowers and natural materials in epoxy resin. I&#8217;ll show you how to create my &#8220;botanical pieces&#8221; with a video and a detailed illustrated manual. I was really excited when I was asked to write in this blog as a guest author and now I&#8217;m very happy to share this tutorial with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is Resin Casting?<\/h2>\n<p>Resin Casting is the casting or embedding of various objects in epoxy resin. Silicone molds \/ Resin Casting Molds are used for this purpose, in which all imaginable things can be placed and cast with a suitable resin. Theoretically, one can also use molds made of other plastics. However, the molds I use are made exclusively of silicone. In my opinion it is worthwhile to use silicone molds in any case. They are very suitable for this technique because they are very flexible, which makes it much easier to remove the piece from the mold after hardening. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QhKNh6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Polished resin casting molds made of silicone<\/strong><\/a>, which have a shiny and smooth surface on the inside, are best suited for this. Your unique specimen will then also have a beautiful even and shiny surface, and no finishing is necessary.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.asa2_horizontal_box {background-color:#ffffff

unique pieces with epoxy <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/preserving-flowers-in-resin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resin and real flowers<\/a><\/strong>. I have been dedicated to this art form since June 2017, and it all started because of my little daughter Maia. Every morning on the way to the nursery, she picked little flowers for me. Meanwhile, I had these flowers almost everywhere \u2013 in my pockets and jackets, on the dashboard in the car, etc. I wish I could keep these flowers forever.<\/p>\n<p>Because children grow up so fast and I knew that of course the time would come when Maia would no longer collect flowers for me. So I had the idea to water these flowers in epoxy resin and make them last forever. So I started to learn everything about the resin casting technique and of course I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. And between you and me \u2013 even some complete disasters!<\/p>\n<p>But I fell in love with this technique in a very short time. Not least because of its (supposed) simplicity. I spent countless hours in the middle of the night looking for new resin casting molds and thinking up new ideas for what to cast next. Attention \u2013 this technique is definitely very addictive! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20562 size-full\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Silica sand <\/a><\/strong>is a favourite of mine to use. Here\u2019s a quick run-through of what I do when drying flowers. You\u2019ll need a container of some sort. I like to use deep trays as they have more space to spread out. I add a 3 cm layer of the silica sand so the bottom of the tray is covered. I then start to place the flowers onto the sand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once you have laid out the flowers, being mindful not to overlap any, pour on more sand until the flowers are covered, and leave to dry for approx. 1 \u2013 2 weeks<\/strong>. The timeframe can vary depending on the different flowers you may be using. You can also try hanging bunches upside to dry out, as well as flower and microwave presses. Another great method is to dry flowers with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2NlqpJT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Silica Gel. <\/a><\/strong>And of course you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QejioN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>buy dried flowers online<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.asa2_ea243615d5daba533c4e054ffa9710b5 .asa2-read-more-state ~ .asa2-read-more-trigger:before {content:\"Show more\";}.asa2_ea243615d5daba533c4e054ffa9710b5 .asa2-read-more-state:checked ~ .asa2-read-more-trigger:before {content:\"Show less\";}<\/style>\t\t\t<div class=\"asa2_h_box_tpl asa2_ea243615d5daba533c4e054ffa9710b5\" data-tpl=\"_acrylgiessen_Horizontal_box\"><div class=\"asa2_horizontal_box_outer\">\n  <div class=\"asa2_horizontal_box\" >\n\n    <div class=\"asa2-group\">\n    <div class=\"item_img asa2_product_col_1 \">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07QMC79GR?tag=acrylgiessen-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\"  title=\"Natural Dried Flowers Combination DIY Pressed Herbarium Flower Decorative for Resin Jewelry Crafts Nail Stickers (E)\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-linktype=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51XAQ5tnERL._SL500_.jpg\"  alt=\"Natural Dried Flowers Combination DIY Pressed Herbarium Flower Decorative for Resin Jewelry Crafts Nail Stickers (E)\" \/><\/a>  <\/div>    <div class=\"asa2_product_col_2 \">\n                              \n \n                <div class=\"asa2_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07QMC79GR?tag=acrylgiessen-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-linktype=\"title\">Natural Dried Flowers Combination DIY Pressed Herbarium Flower Decorative for Resin Jewelry Crafts Nail Stickers (E)<\/a><\/div>\n        \n                \n      <a class=\"asa2_fbh_button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07QMC79GR?tag=acrylgiessen-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">View on Amazon<\/a>\n      <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20551 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen.jpg\" alt=\"drying flowers resin\" width=\"942\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-768x249.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-610x198.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-480x156.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-30x10.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-75x24.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-110x36.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-160x52.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/blumen-trocknen-500x163.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step-by-Step Tutorial for Resin Heart with Embedded Flowers<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation<\/h3>\n<p>Make everything you need ready and within reach.

Any foreign objects, dust or stains will otherwise be visible on your cast object later, so make sure everything is clean and then pour a first layer of epoxy resin into the mold. Since the flowers should give the impression of floating in the resin, I like to pour several layers of resin. This heart consists of two layers.

Sometimes air bubbles can be trapped under the flowers. You can remove the air by gently pushing the flowers down and gently moving them sideways. For this step I usually use a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30lVLlG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Toothpick<\/a>.<\/strong> Be extremely careful when positioning the flowers, especially if they are very thin and delicate. Insert the flowers in your desired arrangement. This is my absolute favorite part of the process. I have added a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/de\/listing\/549626564\/blaue-libelle-2d-acetat-wandfenster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Small Plastic Dragonfly <\/a><\/strong>and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Qw5HWc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Mica Flakes<\/a><\/strong> to this object. You can let your creativity run wild here. Since the bottom of the mold will later be the front side of my finished piece, I usually place the flowers with the front side or more beautiful side down. So the piece will be perfect on the underside after demolding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20471\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4.jpg\" alt=\"resin casting flowers worksteps4\" width=\"942\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-610x169.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-480x133.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-30x8.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-75x21.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-110x31.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-160x44.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps4-500x139.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20482\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1.jpg\" alt=\"resin casting flowers worksteps5\" width=\"942\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-610x169.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-480x133.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-30x8.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-75x21.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-110x31.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-160x44.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps5-1-500x139.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Curing of the First Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Now you can cure the first resin layer. Be sure to remove any bubbles that may rise before the epoxy resin is cured. During the drying phase, keep an eye on the flowers, especially at the beginning, and make sure they stay in place. They tend to shift slightly during curing. The harder the resin, the less natural. When hardening the resin, follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. For some epoxy resin brands, it is recommended to pour in the second layer in a certain period of time, as long as the resin has not fully hardened. This allows the two resin layers to bond better together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20492\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6.jpg\" alt=\"resin casting flowers worksteps6\" width=\"942\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-610x169.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-480x133.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-30x8.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-75x21.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-110x31.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-160x44.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps6-500x139.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Casting the Second Layer<\/h3>\n<p>After the curing or drying of the base layer you can pour the second layer of epoxy resin. Mix it with fresh casting resin according to the suppliers instructions. After mixing, torch the resin briefly so that any bubbles can evaporate now. Then fill the mold completely with resin. Then remove any bubbles with the heat gun. This also prevents potentially badly mixed parts from floating up in the epoxy resin and leaving a sticky layer on your finished object. Also make sure that no hair or dust is deposited on the mold. I recommend that you check the process from time to time during the drying phase in order to prevent the formation of new bubbles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20498\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7.jpg\" alt=\"resin casting flowers worksteps7\" width=\"942\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-610x169.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-480x133.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-30x8.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-75x21.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-110x31.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-160x44.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps7-500x139.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Demoulding<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of the drying time, you can check that the resin has dried through and is ready to be removed from the resin casting mold. The resin should no longer be sticky, but not fully cured. Once this degree of hardness is reached, you can carefully remove the heart from the mold. Attention, the piece is still slightly flexible in this state and can easily bend when released from the mold. You should therefore bring it back into a straight position for complete curing. Let the object cure completely on a clean, even and smooth surface.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20503\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8.jpg\" alt=\"resin casting flowers worksteps8\" width=\"942\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-610x169.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-480x133.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-30x8.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-75x21.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-110x31.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-160x44.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps8-500x139.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20508\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9.jpg\" alt=\"resin casting flowers worksteps9\" width=\"942\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-610x169.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-480x133.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-30x8.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-75x21.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-110x31.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-160x44.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/resin-casting-flowers-worksteps9-500x139.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Finishing<\/h3>\n<p>The edges of the mold on the back can be a little rough or sharp-edged.
