How to embed leaves in epoxy resin



How to Embed Leaves in Epoxy Resin

To embed leaves in resin, it is necessary to carefully follow a few steps:

  • Leaf Preparation: Ensure the leaves are dry and free of moisture to avoid air bubbles in the resin.
  • Resin Selection: Use a transparent and self-leveling epoxy resin suitable for DIY projects like RESINPRO's Art Pro Transparent Resin for Artists.
  • Pouring the Resin: Pour a thin layer of resin into a container and place the leaves, taking care not to overlap them.
  • Removing Air Bubbles: Use a gas torch to eliminate any air bubbles present.
  • Catalyzation and Drying: Let the resin cure following the manufacturer's recommended catalyzation times. By following these steps, you can achieve an aesthetic and long-lasting result.

Epoxy Resin with Inclusions

Epoxy resin with inclusions is a versatile material used to create transparent coatings with embedded elements. These inclusions can be stones, shells, dried flowers, glitter, and more. Once cured, epoxy resin provides a durable and glossy coating that protects and showcases the inclusions. Widely appreciated in the DIY and crafting industry for making jewelry, home decor, and personalized decorations, it is crucial to carefully follow the mixing and application instructions to achieve optimal and long-lasting results.

Transparent Resin for Inclusions

The transparent resin for inclusions, such as RESINPRO's Art Pro Transparent Resin for Artists, is a versatile material used in jewelry making, home decor, and crafting. Usually based on epoxy or polyurethane resins, this resin is designed to be transparent and self-leveling, ideal for encapsulating decorative elements like dried flowers, shells, glitter, or any other decorative item. Once cured, it creates a durable, glossy, and visually appealing protective layer. Carefully follow the mixing and application instructions for optimal and durable results.

Making Jewelry with Resin and Leaves

Creating jewelry with resin and leaves is a creative and exciting activity. Here's how to proceed:

  • Leaf Collection: Select dry or fresh leaves with interesting shapes and colors.
  • Resin Preparation: Mix epoxy resin following the manufacturer's instructions and add colors or pigments if desired.
  • Molds and Leaf Placement: Pour a thin layer of resin into the mold bottom and place the leaves. Cover with another layer of resin.
  • Curing: Let the resin dry for the necessary time, usually 24-48 hours.
  • Finishing: Once cured, carefully remove the jewelry from the mold, smooth the edges if needed, and add any details or chains.
  • Storage: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place to keep them in excellent condition over time.

Epoxy Resin and Leaf Tutorial

Epoxy resin leaves are a creative and decorative idea for many DIY projects. Here's how to make them:

  • Collect leaves of various shapes and sizes.
  • Lay a sheet of plastic and place the leaves on it.
  • Prepare the epoxy resin following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Pour the resin over the leaves, ensuring they are fully immersed.
  • Use a torch to eliminate air bubbles on the surface.
  • Let the resin dry for the indicated time.
  • Once cured, carefully detach the leaves from the plastic. Now you have resin-coated leaves ready to be used as decorations or jewelry.
