← Back to How do you embed a flower in resin?

Embedding flowers in resin is a creative way to preserve their natural beauty forever. Choosing the right resin is key to achieving clarity, long-lasting results, and a professional finish.
Clear Epoxy Resin: The Preferred Choice
For flower embedding, a clear casting epoxy resin is highly recommended. Products such as “Trasparente” multipurpose clear epoxy excel due to their superior transparency and ability to preserve fine details. This type of resin is especially designed for pours up to 2cm thick and includes UV protection to minimise the risk of yellowing over time.
Practical Tips for Choosing Resin
- Low or medium viscosity: Opt for resins with lower viscosity for fewer bubbles and easier coverage of delicate flowers.
- Self-levelling and degassing: Resins with enhanced degassing help minimise trapped air, keeping your flowers clear and vibrant.
- Mixing ratio: Kits like the “Evershine Collection” are beginner-friendly, offering simple 1:1 mixing and all-in-one accessories for jewellery and craft projects.
When learning, following a step-by-step guide, such as the free video lesson by Natalia Natirum, can help you avoid common pitfalls and achieve professional-looking embedded flowers.
When Resin Choice Matters Most
Resin selection is crucial if you want to keep the flowers’ colours and shape as intact as possible, especially in clear jewellery or decorative pieces. For thicker pours or using bulkier botanicals, always check the maximum recommended thickness of your chosen resin—exceeding it can cause discolouration or incomplete curing.
