Personalising a resin frame with dried flowers or glitter is a creative way to make your artwork truly unique. With the right methods, these additions become permanent features within your resin design.
Choosing and Preparing Your Inclusions
Dried flowers work beautifully in resin frames, but make sure your botanicals are thoroughly dried to prevent discolouration or moisture reactions. For glitter, opt for fine or chunky varieties, depending on the effect you desire. Arrange your inclusions in your frame or mould before pouring the resin, or sprinkle them gently as you pour for an even distribution.
Selecting the Right Resin
For the clearest results, use a transparent epoxy resin designed for casting, such as “Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin. If your frame is thin or you’re creating a surface coating, “Art Pro” or similar artist resins also work well. Check the maximum casting thickness of your chosen resin—many are ideal for layers up to 1–2cm at a time.
Practical Tips for Embedding
- Work in stages if you want your inclusions to appear suspended: pour half the resin, position your flowers or glitter, then cover with more resin once the first layer starts gelling.
- Use a toothpick or tweezers to adjust the placement before the resin cures.
- Avoid overfilling, as excess resin can disturb your design or overflow the sides.
When This Matters
Embedding inclusions is ideal for gifts, memorial pieces, or adding a handcrafted feel to your décor. Custom resin frames can be tailored for weddings, birthdays, or unique home accents.
