Can I Add Decorations to Resin Shapes?

← Back to how to make epoxy resin shapes

Embedding small decorations into resin shapes is a popular way to personalise coasters, jewellery, and keepsakes. With the right preparation, you can create unique designs using your favourite items.

Choosing and Preparing Decorations

You can embed a wide variety of objects, such as dried flowers, glitters, and small keepsakes, into epoxy resin. Always make sure items are completely dry, as moisture may cause cloudiness or unwanted reactions with the resin. Arrange and position decorations securely in the mould before pouring, so they stay in place as the resin sets. For particularly delicate items, consider pouring a thin resin base layer first and letting it partly cure before adding your objects.

Selecting the Right Resin and Mould

Clear casting resin, such as the “Trasparente” Epoxy Resin, is designed for projects where clarity and bubble prevention are important. For jewellery and small crafts, starter kits like the Evershine Collection include dried flowers and accessories to get you started. Use reusable, non-stick silicone moulds for easy removal and a consistent finish.

Tips for Flawless Embedding

• Seal porous items, like paper or leaves, with a thin layer of resin to avoid trapped air.
• Work in layers for larger objects to minimise bubbles and keep items suspended at your chosen depth.
• Check your mould for dust or fingerprints before pouring, as these can affect the clarity of the embedded design.
