← Back to How do you make a resin pendant with flowers?

Before diving into mixing resin for your flower pendants, it’s essential to have your design clearly mapped out. Good planning saves effort, gives you cleaner results, and lets creativity shine.
Why Plan Ahead?
Resin has a working time, so deciding on your layout before mixing prevents stress and mistakes. Arranging your flowers and other inclusions in advance means you won’t have to rush – your pieces will be better positioned and less likely to move while the resin cures.
Laying Out Your Design
Start by placing your dried flowers, charms, or glitter in your chosen pendant bezel or mould. Play around with combinations and orientations on a sheet of paper or within the empty bezel first. Remember, once resin is poured, most adjustments are not possible.
- Pick items that fit well within the pendant size.
- Use tweezers for delicate positioning of flowers.
- Test different layers if you want a 3D effect—plan which items will go into each resin layer.
Practical Tips and Recommended Supplies
Dried flowers, such as the Natural Dried Flowers for Art Projects and Epoxy Resin Casting, work beautifully as they avoid moisture issues and retain colour. An assorted set of open metal bezels provides you with a range of shapes to explore. For beginners, consider a starter kit like the “Evershine Collection” – it comes with essentials, including clear epoxy resin and accessories, making design experiments straightforward and enjoyable.
When This Matters Most
Detailed planning is especially important if you want a specific look—such as highlighting a single blossom or balancing colours in a multi-flower design. It’s also crucial if you’re making pendants for special gifts or as personalised keepsakes.
