Can I Embed Dried Flowers or Glitter in Resin Cabochons?

← Back to How to make resin cabochons?

Adding dried flowers or glitter to your resin cabochons opens up a world of creative possibilities. With the right preparation, you can create beautifully detailed jewellery that captures your personal style.

How to Embed Flowers or Glitter in Resin Cabochons

Start by preparing your chosen inclusions—ensure dried flowers are completely moisture-free and glitter is ready in small amounts. Mix your resin according to its instructions. Gently add the inclusions to the mixed resin, then pour into your mould. Resin kits that include dried flowers and pigments can simplify your process. Carefully position inclusions with a toothpick or tweezers to minimise trapped air bubbles.

Tips for Clear, Lasting Results

• Pour in stages if your inclusions are prone to floating—an initial thin layer can help anchor lightweight flowers or glitter.
• Use a suitable silicone mould, such as the Cabochon-15, for easy demoulding and a glossy finish.
• Avoid overloading the mould with inclusions to retain the cabochon’s clarity and shape.

When This Matters

Embedding inclusions stands out when you want to personalise gifts, commemorate special occasions, or produce unique jewellery pieces. This method is particularly valued for creating bespoke, eye-catching designs that set your work apart.
