Essential Materials in Action

See close-ups of natural dried flowers and a silicone cube mould ready for casting. Each element plays an important role in achieving a flawless resin creation, with the clear resin showcasing the preserved bloom in all its beauty.

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace and Materials

Set up your project on a level, dust-free surface covered with protective sheeting. Ensure good ventilation, and wear protective gloves at all times. Unpack all tools and familiarise yourself with the process before you begin, as resin has a finite working window once mixed.

Choose fully dried flowers to avoid trapped moisture.

Moisture from live or inadequately dried blooms can cause cloudiness or even mould inside the finished resin cube, so source professionally dried flowers for best results.

Step 3: Position and Embed the Flower

Arrange your chosen dried flower gently onto the partially cured base. Use tweezers if required for careful positioning. Press the flower lightly so it does not float when covered by subsequent resin layers.

Use a reusable silicone cube mould for best results.

Silicone cube moulds like the “Cube Mould” – Square Silicone Mould for Resin make demoulding effortless and ensure crisp, clear cube edges.

Step 5: Cure and Unmould Your Resin Cube

Allow the cube to cure fully in accordance with your chosen resin’s product instructions. Don’t rush this stage; curing solidifies clarity and hardness, ensuring longevity and a perfect finish.

Remove bubbles carefully after each pour.

After curing, carefully flex the silicone mould to release the cube. Polish with a soft cloth if needed.

Leave the resin to cure fully before unmoulding.
