I just discovered this video and I want to do it too!!! You explain so well every step its perfect! Plus your voice is so smooth and zen to listen too lol
Thank you for watching! I’m happy to hear you found this video helpful 😊
They are so beautiful
Thank you so much!
Nice work! I am just starting to look into resin casting and I found your video to be very useful and informative. Thank you ^_^
They are beautiful ❤
These are absolutely stunning!! Beautiful work and clarity!
Thank you so much! The clarity is all you ❤️. I can't wait to share more of my casting projects!

Thank you so much for sharing this video! It was extremely helpful. I watched it several times before I started working on my own resin. My project turned out great considering it was the first one! However, when the resin was completely cured and I took out my resin rose out, I noticed that there is an air bubble in the middle of the flower. If I try to sand it - this will definitely damage the rose. Would it be wrong just to leave the bubble there? Would it damage the rose with time? Any advice would be so much appreciated 🌸 Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Whenever I have a bubble that is huge, I will very carefully drill into the piece to fill in the bubble. Small ones, like in between petals, I’ve left alone and haven’t noticed anything happening.
Both casts had beautiful finishes and clarity. Looks like you could benefit from a vacuum pump to extract bubbles after immersion of the flowers. Have you done any figurines or sculptures? Perhaps some sort of wax sculpture or 3D print.
Thank you so much! I don’t think I’d use a vacuum chamber for resin because I use it for silicone and the bubbles need a lot of space to rise up. The resin would spill over the mold. Are you talking about a pressure pot? I haven’t considered that mainly due to it being an extra expense and the casts are coming out pretty clear without it. I don’t do any figurines or wax sculpting. I use a 3d printer (not much though) for any deeper molds I may want to make.
@@EllafulDeco Vacuum boils the air out of the resin which is why it overflows. Do it before you pour to remove air that gets included during mixing. Maybe again after pour to remove trapped air - not sure about that.
@@robertmatetich2898 I could definitely try the before and see how it works. Vacuuming after pouring into the mold would spill for sure. Thank you for the suggestion!
hello. For how many days we need to dry out our fresh flowers. So that it doesn't rot in the mould.???
That depends on your flowers. Most will dry in 3-4 weeks. I leave roses in there for 6 weeks. Smaller/thinner flowers will probably dry in 1-2 weeks. They should feel like paper and are fragile when they’re dried. If you’re not sure whether they’re dried or not, you can always leave them in there for longer.
Beautiful !!
Well Done !
Thank you so much! 😁
Very helpful! Thank you! 😊
I'm so happy you found it helpful! Thank you for watching! 😊
Heey..... I order you dry rose petals. But after When I put it in resin, its color changed from red to green. Can you tell me why this happened?
I don’t sell dried flowers, but wherever you got it from, they were most likely not completely dried.
Do you just dry the flowers or should you preserve them in the flower preservation silica??
I’m not sure I completely understand your question. The flowers are dried in silica gel and then preserved in resin.
wow beautiful, it's dried flower?
Thank you! Yes, the roses are dried. All flowers should be dried prior to preserving in resin🙂
Where did you get these molds? What company? Thanks.
Hello! These molds are from AaJMolds. The link is in the description 🙂
OMGAH so perfect!!!!!
Thank you so much Joyce! ❤️
Hi can you tell me where you get the moulds from please?
These molds are from AaJMolds: www.aajmolds.com/. Materials are also linked in the description.
What size small did you use for the larger one I went to the link but I don’t know which one it was… these are beautiful. Question could you take a square mold and set the flower down into it rather than upside down?
Thank you so much! The dome is the 3" one and the sphere is the 2" one. For a square mold, you can definitely place the flowers facing you. I actually just casted some blocks that way and will be putting that video together once they're complete 😊
@@EllafulDeco I would love to try it
Thank you, this video was so clear and helpful 😊❤
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful! :)
But how do you dry a rose where it keeps its shape? Ihave a particular dried rose I'd like to cast in resin, but it's shriveled. Would it still come out looking good?
Here’s the full video on how I dry roses: ruclips.net/video/jRfYTrp2u6A/видео.html.
How the rose looks now would pretty much be how it looks like in resin. I’ve seen lots of beautiful air dried bouquets preserved in resin.
how big in size is the yellow one
It’s 3”x3”
These are sooo sooo beautiful! I want to do something like this for my mom and grandma for Xmas or mother's day. Does the resin stink bad like the one I use to coat my paintings? Do you use a mask? Also what if you did a thin Paper mache butterfly or made a clear butterfly from the resin w/a mold and colored powder or painted it with a thin brush. Then put it into the a small resin dome
Thank you so much! I don't know how the resin smells because I do wear a respirator at all times when working with resin. I would assume there is a smell. There is no smell once it's cured though. For something like this, you'll want to use a casting resin and not a coating resin. I linked the specific resin I used in the description. I'm not sure about the paper mache since I don't know if that would be resin safe. You can definitely embed other resin pieces into another. Hope this helps! 🙂
@@EllafulDeco lol I may need a respirator cuz girl! It's like nasty hot glue on steroids lol gave me a headache for like 10 min until it started to be where I couldn't manipulate the resin anymore I had a filtered mask on but still. 😱 and it didn't know there was a casting resin vs costing resin. Thanks so much!
@@kingphaze1 Get yourself a respirator with VOC filters immediately!! It's not just for the smell, but to protect your lungs from the chemicals. Some resins may not smell like it, but they are releasing VOCs until they're completely cured. I'll definitely work on a video on resin safety soon. Resin comparison will be added to the list as well😊.
@@EllafulDeco thank you so much! I'll look into them right away!
How come when I took mine out of the mold it wasn’t shiny?
Your mold is most likely matte. You can add a top coat to make your final piece shiny again.
Did you put fresh flower or dried?
The flowers are dried. I have the flower drying tutorial on my channel 🙂
My rose lost the colour when in the resin, any idea why this happened?
I am assuming that the rose was not completed dried or the piece has been exposed to too much sunlight.
@@EllafulDeco think it wasn't dried long enough. 😢
Did you say that they are dried first?
Yes, flowers have to be dried before putting them in epoxy or else they will rot in the piece. Here's the video on how I dried these roses: ruclips.net/video/jRfYTrp2u6A/видео.html
How to pop the bubbles without a heat gun please?
A heat gun is probably the best option when it comes to popping surface bubbles. You can try a utility lighter, but I'm not sure how well they work. I got my heat gun for ~$30 on Amazon and it lasted me 2 years and still counting so I would suggest investing in one if you can.
Can you try it on a tulip?
I haven’t tried it a tulip, but that would be very cute.
Can you take a photo and cover it with resins
You can definitely put a photo in resin. I highly suggest laminating it first because the ink may bleed. Since photos can vary in quality for the paper and ink (and to be honest, I'm not sure what qualifies as resin safe paper and resin safe ink), it's best to laminate the photo or any paper inclusions first just in case. I've used origami paper and cardstock to make trays in previous tutorials. You may find them to be helpful as the process is similar: ruclips.net/video/2-dGTz33AZU/видео.htmlsi=XneRaJy5-3H2eQ2s
Hi.how can we make 3d flowers from resin mould.Can you please make tutorial on it🥺
Hello, you can certainly make 3d flowers from resin molds! You just need to have the mold of the flowers you want. It would make an interesting video. I'll see if I can get the supplies for it 🙂
Can I add pictures?
You can certainly add pictures into resin. I suggest laminating it first protect the photo and prevent any color bleeding. You can check out my videos where I work with paper/cardstock to make trays. The process would be similar 🙂
Pour it like beer
Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
