Step1: Choose the flowers to use

First, you need to start by choosing the flowers to be incorporated into your jewellery. Don't forget that Each flower has its own meaning. So try to make the selection according to your character, your feelings or the values ​​that reflect your personality.

Helichrysum, for example, is the emblem of everlasting love. And the Delphinium symbolizes sincerity and protection. The gypsophila can also interest you, because it is a lucky charm. And finally, the prunus spinosa is the emblem of renewal.

In addition to their symbolism, flowers are also to be chosen according to their colour and their shape. The design of your jewellery may mainly depend on these criteria.


Step 2: Dry the flowers

A fresh flower cannot be immersed directly in resin, because it could rot little by little and prevent the substance from catalyzing it. It will therefore be necessary to think of First dry the flowers that you have chosen before resining them.


If you don't have time to dry them, feel free to order ready-to-use dried flowers. And that's good because at Flowrette we offer a wide selection of dried flowers in a bunch, ideal for all your DIY creations in dried flowers. You can find all our dried flower bunches here.

Step3: Insert dried flowers into tubes, pearls or spheres

The next step is to insert dried flowers into tubes, pearls or spheres. Here, two options are available to you: either you use UV and UV LED resin; Either you use bi-component epoxy resin.

Use UV and UV LED resin

To insert dried flowers into UV resin, you have to take a special jewellery and you must add a few drops of translucent resin to the bottom of the latter. It is then necessary to insert the dried flower so that a part remains in contact with the resin.

Afterwards, you have to make a subampery or the sun catalyze to immobilize the plant. Once the dried flower is put in place, all you have to do is fill the mold to the top.


Use Bi-component epoxy resin

It is also possible to create a floral jewellery with bi-component epoxy resin. Here, the principle is the same, in other words that we must add a few drops of resin to the bottom of a mold, insert the dried flower and fill the mold to the top. But you must then be patient, because the epoxy resin takes about a day to catalyze the whole.

To maintain the rod or the dried flower in the resin, you can place a wooden stick on the surface of the mold. And feel free to fix it well to prevent the plant from going up.


Resin flowers moldy

It is also quite possible to resign dried flowers without mold. Use sets and a silicone modeling carpet to insert dried flowers into the resin.

To do this, you only have to place your set on the carpet making sure that it is not curved. Then you have to pour a little resin and you have to place your flower, then cover with resin again. You have to wait until everything is catalyzed. Afterwards, you have to return your creation and you have to repeat a flow on the other side.
