Inclusions like dried flowers lend a unique and natural look to resin pendants. Adding these decorative elements is rewarding but requires a few careful steps to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish.
Preparing and Choosing Your Inclusions
For best results, only use items that are thoroughly dry—especially flowers or leaves. Excess moisture can affect how the resin sets or cause unwanted cloudiness. Pressed or dried flowers tend to work well, keeping their shape and vibrancy inside the pendant.
Alongside flowers, you might try tiny trinkets, glitter, or sequins. Just ensure anything you embed is dry, clean, and sized to fit your chosen mould or bezel.
Layering, Pouring, and Bubble Prevention
Arrange your inclusions in thin layers, pouring a small amount of resin before placing the items and gradually building up. This approach helps keep inclusions from floating or shifting. If you spot any bubbles, gently coax them out using a cocktail stick. Products like the Evershine Collection Epoxy Resin Kit are designed for beginner-friendly mixing and have enhanced degassing that helps reduce trapped air.
When This Matters: Designs and Lasting Effects
Careful embedding is particularly important if you want crystal-clear pendants or are using transparent moulds and bezels. Your technique will affect how the flowers appear—floating, fully encased, or set at the back. Layering gives you maximum creative control over the finished jewellery.
