How to Add Flowers, Pigments or Glitter to Resin Bookmarks

Personalising resin bookmarks with dried flowers, pigments or glitter is an easy way to create eye-catching, unique designs. With a few simple steps, you can elevate your craft projects and add a touch of character to every bookmark.

Choosing and Preparing Embellishments

Begin by selecting suitable materials for your design. Natural dried flowers are a popular choice, especially when prepped for immediate use, such as the Natural Dried Flowers for Art Projects and Epoxy Resin Casting. Ensure your flowers are thoroughly dried to prevent moisture from affecting the resin. For pigments and glitter, opt for colourants compatible with your chosen resin, whether it’s epoxy or UV resin, to achieve a vibrant, even effect.

Incorporating Flowers, Pigments and Glitter

Pour a thin layer of resin into your mould and carefully place your dried flowers, spreading them as desired—using tweezers can help with precise positioning. To build depth, add further resin layers, allowing each one to partially cure before placing more flowers or decorations. When adding pigments or glitter, mix them into the resin according to product recommendations before pouring for even colour and sparkle. Products such as the UV–Creation Fast Acrylic Resin offer a crystal-clear finish that highlights inclusions elegantly.

When Customisation Matters Most

Adding decorative details is ideal for gifts, special occasions, or showcasing your creative flair. Layered flowers or shimmering glitter can transform simple bookmarks into treasured keepsakes, making your handcrafted piece truly stand out.
