Adding dried flowers or pigments to your resin bracelets is a creative and rewarding way to personalise your jewellery and capture beautiful designs. With the right preparation, you can achieve striking results that highlight the beauty of your inclusions.
Preparing Flowers and Pigments for Resin
Before embedding dried flowers in resin, ensure they are completely dry and free of any excess moisture. Pressed or pre-dried botanical elements work best, as any remaining dampness can cause discolouration or unwanted reactions. For pigments, select those designed for use in resin to achieve smooth colour mixes and avoid clumping.
- Let flowers air dry or use silica gel for best results
- Choose fine or liquid pigments for an even distribution
- Avoid water-based inserts, which can disrupt the curing process
Mixing and Embedding Techniques
Mix your resin and hardener thoroughly according to product instructions—often a simple 1:1 ratio for most jewellery resins. Add pigments at this stage, ensuring they are blended in evenly to prevent streaks. When embedding flowers, pour a thin layer of clear resin, place the flower carefully, then top up with more resin to encase it fully. Use a toothpick to gently eliminate air bubbles trapped around the inserts.
If you’re looking to get started with a ready-made kit, the “Evershine Collection” – Artisan Jewellery Epoxy Resin Kit includes both dried flowers and a selection of vivid pigments, alongside clear, easy-mix resin.
When This Matters: Achieving a Clear Finish
Properly dried and prepared inclusions help maintain clarity and brightness in your bracelet. Bubble-free resin and well-mixed pigments allow your highlights to shine through, especially important when working with transparent epoxy or UV resin for jewellery projects.
