Drying of floral inclusions in resin
The drying of floral inclusions in resin is a crucial process to achieve optimal results in resin artifacts. It is important to allow enough time for the flowers inside the resin to dry completely. This ensures that no air bubbles or moisture form inside the inclusion, avoiding potential deterioration issues over time. For effective drying, it is advisable to place the artifacts in a cool and dry place, away from heat sources and direct light. Additionally, it is recommended to let the floral inclusions dry for at least 24-48 hours before proceeding with further work or finishes.
How to Create Resin Flower Inclusions
Resin flower inclusions are made by pouring epoxy resin into molds containing dried flowers. Here's how to create them:
- Select dried or fresh flowers and wait for them to dry.
- Place the flowers in silicone molds.
- Mix the epoxy resin following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Carefully pour the resin into the molds, ensuring the flowers are fully immersed.
- Remove air bubbles with a torch or similar tool.
- Let the resin dry for the necessary time.
- Carefully remove the inclusions from the molds.
- If desired, polish the inclusions to make them shiny.
Tutorial: How to Make Resin Flower Inclusions
To create flower inclusions in resin, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Choose dry or fresh flowers, resin, and molds. Make sure the flowers are dry to prevent air bubble formation.
- Molds: Pour a thin layer of resin into the molds and place the flowers. Let it dry slightly.
- Inclusion: Add more layers of resin over the flowers, being careful not to create air bubbles. You can add pigments to color the resin.
- Drying: Cover with glass to prevent dust. Let it dry completely following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Finishing: Once dry, carefully remove from the mold and refine any imperfections. By following these steps, you can create beautiful resin flower inclusions.

- Roses
- Daisies
- Lavender
- Wildflowers
- Hydrangeas
- Cornflowers Make sure to properly dry the flowers before incorporating them into the resin to avoid any mold or color changes. Remember that the choice of flowers also depends on the type of project you want to create.
