Embedding objects in resin opens up endless possibilities for personalised crafts and unique decorations. With the right preparation and choice of materials, you can create professional-looking pieces with lasting beauty.
Popular Objects to Embed in Resin
Many crafters enjoy including small, memorable, or decorative items in resin projects. Some of the most popular options include:
- Dried flowers or leaves for a natural touch
- Beads, sequins, or glitter for sparkle and colour
- Miniature photos, artworks, or keepsakes
- Metal charms, shells, or small trinkets
It’s important all items are completely dry and free of dust or oil, as moisture or contaminants may affect the curing process or cause unwanted reactions inside the resin.
Preparation Tips for Best Results
Careful preparation leads to clearer, bubble-free results. Clean, dry items work best—especially natural materials like flowers, which can be pressed and thoroughly dried before use. For photos or paper items, consider sealing with a clear, quick-drying adhesive to protect them from the resin. When pouring, pour the resin in layers and allow each to set slightly if embedding heavier elements, preventing sinking or uneven placement.
Using a transparent silicone mould, such as the Silicone Circle Mould, can help you accurately position each item as the resin cures.
When This Matters: Creating Sentimental or Artistic Pieces
Embedding carefully chosen objects in resin is especially valued for keepsakes—such as wedding flowers, holiday souvenirs, or family photos—that you want to preserve and display. It’s also perfect for jewellery, coasters, or decorative art pieces where each detail tells a story.
