- I was so excited when my friend asked me to preserve her beautiful wedding flowers in resin. I've always wanted to do something big with resin, and this was my excuse! In this video I show you how I dried out the flowers, arranged them, and how I made sure that the piece was a success!

Incredible job, you’re super patient. I bet she loved it
What a lovely present to give to the happy couple.
Yes very informative! I like all the little bits of information you captioned at the bottom as well
It’s so gorgeous! You did a great job.
That piece turned out beautiful!
Beautiful keepsake, well done!
Absolutely beautiful! Love your videos.
oh my how beautiful work!
It’s the first time I use and knowing about the epoxy resin . I follow your video with your friend bouquet and I had my daughter wedding bouquet and decide to do the same . The results is absolutely outstanding !!!!! Clear like Chrystal , I am so proud of myself I had purchase all the ingredient and mold that you use . I sand it all sides few days ago and today I pour the lower layer on all sides , tape and tapped first , when dry I tape the bottom and pour the top and side .
It come out just gorgeous !!!!!!! Not even one bubbles !!!!!! Thank you .
It's me again!!! This is wild and impressive. Proud of you and tell the peeps I say whats up and miss everyone.
That’s incredible
Just so you know... florists, good ones, will spray the bouquet ( or certain flowers depending on fragility and dryness) with crowning glory, which is a waxy coating. It’s a preservative for fresh flowers, prevents drying out. That may have been the issue for some of the flowers.
Wow! That would explain it! Thanks for the tip.
How long does the whole process take x
How beautiful.
Wow! This came out so good. Super clear and rarely any bubbles. The process looks so tiring. You are very patient.
Thank you! Yes I have been told that haha. I like doing tedious things.
gorgeous!
Stunningly beautiful 😍 ❤ 💖
Thank you for this very clear, detailed and informative video. I found it very helpful. My first wedding bouquet is drying 🤞, but I feel more confident now 💕
This is so so so beautiful
Beautiful! Thank you for this video ❤🎉

@@Squidlicks 😍❤️❤️
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT... IM A NEWBIE DOING MY EVER FIRST BIG POUR WITH FOLIAGE FOR THE BACKGROUND AND ROSES. IM ONTO MY SECOND LAYER.
Excellent
How did it go?
I just discovered your channel and subscribed. Thankyou for such good resin tutorials ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you are here! Welcome! 😀
All that money and time u spent and she was just like…”oh that’s cool”. Wow. It looks great! Really good job
wow~ I wanna try my rose bouquet!!!
Beautiful!!! Can’t wait to try this but on a smaller scale 😂
You can do it! It just takes a little patience :)
you did a beautiful job.
thank you so much! i'm glad it turned out okay :)
beautiful
Many many thanks
thank you! i got the same mold and didnt knw how to do it to my engagement flowers
So beautiful! Did you not have to seal the flowers before casting them? Everything I’ve read says seal them first but I didn’t know if using the eco friendly resin you did made that step obsolete. Thanks so much!
Wow
That is STUNNING! Do u let each Lauer dry completely, before adding the next layer?
Sweet!!!!@
Woww😍😍😍😍
This turned out so beautiful!! How much resin did you pour at a time?
It turned out beautiful. Great job 💖
Had to birth it a lil to get it out of the mold 😅🤣💖
Thanks so much!!!
@@Squidlicks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a lovely keepsake for your friend! It came out gorgeous. ♥️
Great video! How did you smooth out the edges without it looking cloudy or opaque?
Hi you did a magnificent job with your friends wedding flowers!! She is blessed to have as a friend!
Q- did you wait a day between cup pours? How long after did each pour did you remove the bubbles? What tool did you use?
After the resin was set and you removed it from the mould it looked to me your were trimming the edges. Could you Please explain 🙏 also could you please send details of what you ordered exactly and from which company? Trying to organise my daughters wedding bouquet but will need to practice somewhat on smaller moulds first. Really appreciate you sharing your skill. Thank you from Sydney Australia! 🐨🦘🙏
How long to the preserved flowers keep their state? ( or do they stay like that)! Loved your video
Yes. 1000 times, yes.
HI. Excellent video. Did you wait a day before pouring each layer?
It really nice work❤️❤️❤️How many grams or liters of resin expoxy did u used on that big silicone mold💐😊..
Beautiful! Do you know of any way to keep white flowers white when drying? I just noticed your ranunculus look AMAZING even after dried!
I have this same question!
Beautiful! I might have missed but why brand/type of resin are you using here?
Love your video! I would like to try resin and I’ve heard it can be harmful to your health. Is there any insight you could give me on how you use resin safety , or what I should do to be safe when I try it? Thank you!
How much resin did you pour the first time? Until the flowers were covered?
WOW this is so beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial!
You mention that it take a day for each layer to dry. Therefore, did you pause between each layer? If so, how many days did this take you?
You can pour as soon as the resin sets - but since this is slow curing resin it will take a while to set and can depend on lots of factors including room temperature, how much you mixed at one time, etc so there is no correct answer. I would poke a inconspicuous part of it with a popsicle stick or something to test and if it's still liquid then wait until it's more solid.
Awesome video! Answered so many important questions and it was so helpful to see your process! I did have a question, you mentioned softening the edges….how exactly did you achieve that? Do you use a small metal file?
soft grit sandpaper buffer of some sort. For small pieces i use the block nail buffers/files
How long do wait to pour the next layer? How many layers did you out?
Could you please let me know where I can buy this large tray (mold)? Thanks
Absolutely beautiful!!!
When you layer, do you get lines showing???
And ... do you do one layer per day???
You did great job on your creation, and
Your video was really informative!! I am
A resin virgin!! Well done, thank you
Thanks so much! The lines are invisible, unless you turn it to the side and really look for them. For this resin, yes once per day is ideal. I'm glad my video was so helpful for you!
Is just gorgeous. Where did you find that large mole at?
Thank you! You can find the mold here: amzn.to/3mBte7u
How u preserve the flowers what was that sand type of thing ?
How long can you keep the dry flowers efore putting in resin
This was so beautiful! I do have a question with drying out the flowers. I have some roses from my dad's funeral which was 3 weeks ago and they still have their shape and color for the most part. I wanted to try this but not sure if I still need to do the drying process?? What would your advice be here in this case?
3 weeks of drying time is exactly what I try to aim for, as a minimum when I'm wanting to get started on them. It can really vary, though, and I have to use some judgement to make sure that there isn't still too much moisture in the centre.
This is so lovely, could this be done with a casting resin and where do you buy the silicon mold from? Thank you for sharing 👍
Yes I use slow curing resin, you can find a similar resin here: amzn.to/3LJK4Oe
Absolutely gorgeous!! Did you let each layer dry 24 hrs? How many days did this take to finish?
Yeah I have the same question ?? How many layers how many days. And how thick was each layer?
What a beautiful result 😍 I wish I had friends like you! 😂
Please can you give me some advice? I need to make a patio table top, which needs to be weatherproof because it'll fix to a wall and not be mobile. First I thought of a resin pour but since it has to be about the size of a dining table, that'll cost the earth. Now I'm thinking of getting a cheap laminate worktop, painting it black, covering it with potpourri and then pouring resin on it. My questions are:
1. Will this be weatherproof? I'm in the UK so we don't get a lot of sun but we do get rain.
2. Is the resin going to yellow?
3. Will the potpourri rot?
4. Will the resin make it too heavy to mount on the wall?
5. In your opinion is this the best way to create an affordable table top?
Any tips and comments so so appreciated. Thank you 💖
Hi! I'm not sure to be honest.... I know there are some resins that are used for boats and surfboards but not sure how thick of a layer they recommend. All resins yellow over time and can absorb the dye if the potpourri is dyed. I would recommend using a blue or purple tinted resin to avoid yellowing and do a small test swatch to see if you need to seal the organic material. Resin will get really heavy fast so be aware of that. You can always use plastic or clear marbles to use as a cheaper "filler" for the volume of the resin but you might be able to see them through the resin. Good luck!
Can you pour fast curing resin in layers too?
I didn't see u using a heat gun. how do u get ride of bubbles then? THANKS
Where did you get this mold?
So i want to preserve my friends flowers. If I put her flowers in silica gel and once they're done drying can I set some aside? I want to try to do one mold first to make sure I have the technique down before doing her larger mold. Will it be okay if some of the flowers sit out once they have been dried with silica gel?
Hello! Thank you so much for this informative video. I am wanting to make a 10x10 box to save my wedding bouquet. I am searching for the resin you used on entropy now..is it the slow hardening clear casting epoxy resin 3 quart kit? Would the 3 quart kit be enough to fill a 10x10 mold? Thank you, again!
Yes! The 3 quart kit almost filled to the top. I did use a tiny bit extra from a different kit but it was a minimal amount from what I remember.
I've seen white flowers dried turn brown or like an "antique" yellow. With white flowers how much does the color change when it's put in resin? Do they continue to change color in the resin? Anyone in the comments who has had white ones for a few years how has it held up?
So something happened and my wedding flower bouquet literally got rotten But then found one flower in the freezer (my little sister put it there) it’s been 5 months but it still looks good and had not changed colors so much yet but I really wanted to find a way to preserve it, is it too late? Can I still use resin even tho it’s been in the freezer for so long I’m afraid I’ll ruin it since it’s the last piece I have 😭🥺
Did you pour resin first before adding the greenery and flowers?
Hows this piece looking now? have the layers peeled yet?
Beautiful! Can I ask you why you bought too much resins. All of them are the same types or there is 2 parts one part ( 2 containers ) you use for your own bouquet and the other 2 containers you use for your friend bouquet?
Please let me know it . Thanks
What is the lifespan of a resin mould?
very very very very very very beautiful..... will you open a course ? i would like to learn in person with you!
Thanks for sharing. Trying to do this same process for my wife. I have dried the flowers but was hoping you might be able to share the dimensions of your mold (or a link) & the amount of slow curing resin it took to fill (without too much left over (over ordering)).
Also, how did you manage to keep the last few layers from not being rounded out on the top? Did you do anything to level it off perfect like the bottom side would be from the pressure of gravity against the mold?
Thanks!!
Yeah good questions. And thats beautiful that are doing this for your wife. So thoughtful. I too would like to try this as a project...but need to know the amount. I noticed she didn't use a heat tool for the bubbles. Or a sander at the end. I'm also intrigued as to how the resin gets behind the foliage as she arranged them in the dry mold then poured. Is it because they float slightly so will get underneath okay? Excellent result though 😍
Thankyou for sharing this, I plan to do this for my wedding! Really excited. Do you know how long they last preserved for?
Wondering this also!
There are a lot of variables. They will last a long time. Uv Sunlight will yellow all resin eventually 😢
What resin did you use
How long you have to wait wait In between layers.. thank you
Hi, I would like to try this for my wedding bouquet. I would appreciate if you can let me know how much resin it takes to do this. Not sure if I should buy more than 1kg / I liter. Love your video, it really help me to understand the process.
Hi! The mold says it holds about 3 liters. I'm so glad I was able to help!
How much epoxy was required for this ?
Not sure if I’ll still
Get an answer on this , but how much cups would “one layer” be ? I know you mentioned one layer and then let it set for a day. Would that be about 4 cups ? Let it sit , repeat , etc.
how much total would you say this project cost?
Can I ask what the dimensions of your mold is?
Do you have a shop and where is that and also I want to buy hand made customize item.
I just found out about this! Saw it and thought I could do it myself but now I know that's a lot of work for a one time use. My dad passed and I want to do this with his funeral flowers. Do you do it for other people?? I'd love to do business with you...love your personality in the beginning so I had to ask 😁💞
Check out blossom and rhyme. They do this as their business lol
I do not take custom orders but i'm sure there are a lot of people that do :) Sorry about your dad :(
May i know the measurement of mold you use?
Where did you get the mold from?? I need one just like it!!😍
Hi, I have one in my Amazon shopping cart. Just do a search on Amazon and a few will come up. Hope this helps.
How much resin did you use
So did you mix all the resin at once and in what kind of container did you use to mix it? did you wait a day in between pouring each layer? How long did it take to fill the mold? How long do you have to leave the resin to cure?
I am wondering the same thing. Her's turned out so beautiful!
How long did you let each layer set before pouring the next layer . Did you leave it over night or just poured them with minutes in between????
It was about a day until the last layer was solidified.
Amazing! When you pour a layer, you let it cure for the time specified on the bottle and then repeat? Also, what toold do you recomend to finish any sharp edges and do you polish it at the end?
I just used a very dull clay sculpting tool to lightly scrape the edges, I didn't want to cut into the edge too much. And to buff I just used a dry microfiber cloth.
This is amazing! What size mold did you use & do you have an Etsy store?!
I do have an etsy shop! It's call squidlicks as well! The mold can be found here: www.amazon.com/shop/squidlicks?listId=EC1GRSKDUMIH&ref=idea_share_inf
@@Squidlicks do you makes these for other brides??
Hello I just purchased my mold and am trying to figure out how this all works. How many days did this one take?
Depends on that the type of resin you are using and how thick you can pour it without overheating. I would practice and do a test run first if you have not used the resin before!
Do you have a shop ?
You mention pouring in layers and waiting to prevent intense exothermic reactions. How long do you wait between layers to pour a new one and how many cups is one layer? In the video, it sounds like you mixed all the resin up at once but if that were the case you would need to pour layers relatively quickly I’d assume. Lastly, if you let one layer sit a day and then pour another layer, will you see the layers in the finished product?
I believe she did each layer and waited a day because she said it takes a day for each layer to cure
Hello, I am so impressed. You did it really good. I am wondering if you accept work, I gave bouquet that I wanted to preserve with resin?
My mom recently passed and this looks like a great idea to preserve some of her funeral flowers. Can small pictures be placed between layers to make it all look like one piece?
I'd make sure the photos are laminated.
