Drying Flowers for Resin Projects | Alumilite

This video shows a simple first step to take prior to casting your flowers in resin: drying them! Drying flowers is an easy at-home project that will improve your resin castings for things like jewelry, coasters, and crystals.

There are multiple ways to dry and preserve flowers, but this tutorial will walk you through the process of using silica gel. Using silica gel allows you to have beautifully vibrant dried flowers of any size.

Materials used:
Tupperware with lid at least 1" taller than flowers, scissors

Thanks for the link to Michaels! I never would've thought to check there. I was worried about how long it would take if I ordered from Amazon but now its just an easy 30 min to get drive to this for a project idea. ^, ^

I have an issue doing flower buds in resin. They hit the dehumidifier but I still seem to get some white and bubbles in the resin even in pressure pot. May have to try this.

Very simple & very useful.
Can I ask you how many times can we use the silica gel in such a process? Does it expire by the time?
Thanks in advance.
