These are beautiful, Laura! Two things: if you pour your resin in the mold and wait a few minutes, then hit the surface of the resin with a small kitchen torch, it will remove most of the air bubbles in the resin. To avoid any air bubbles trapped around the items you're setting into the mold, dip them in a little extra resin (in a separate cup), and then push them down into your resin-filled mold. Been working with resin for a while and these are little tips of the trade I've picked up over the years!

I inherited one of these from my grandparents.👵🏼👴🏼It’s an orb shaped one with a giant dandelion seed head in it. I’ve always wondered how they were able to get it in there without smashing it. Of course whenever I’d ask my grandpa he’d make up some crazy story that would make me laugh. 😆💕

I think I'm going to try them with evergreens pinecones and berries with a loop of string as a Christmas ornament!

I want to preserve the flower I got from my baby nephews funeral in resin to put on my memorial shelf I have for him cuz I'm afraid the flower wont hold up very long cuz as its drying its getting a bit brittle. I only got 1 flower so I only got 1 shot to do it right. This is a great video that shows step by step how to do it. I'm sure now that I can do this without messing up. Thank you.

This is a great idea for women who want to preserve their wedding flowers. I did this with mine.

Everything old is new again!
When I was in eighth grade in 1964 we had a teacher who taught a "plastics" class after school. It was great fun. We made jewelry, paperweights, coasters, etc.

Hello to everyone! Laura it sooo beautiful! My 7 year old Amberlynn made me something similar last year at school. It was in a smaller version with sayings inside and a magnet on back to put on refergerator. We will definitely be making this version. You got all my kiddos sitting down watching this we love it! Excellent for gifts! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

I have been fascinated with resin since coming across some coasters from the 70's, with my mom.

[labetson]

I love this so much! My Mom had one just like this on her secretary and I remember just holding it and staring at it as a child. 🌸💜

[BonnieBlueA]

Making coasters and kitchen spoon rests would be useful items.

What a fun video and you gave me a great idea for things to make for my classroom! I am going to use the flowers we have around the playground and make these to use as a counting or sorting game!!!!

Glueing a photo that coordinates with what is in the paperweight onto the back makes them stand out. At Christmas I use to make them as a place card for seating. A photo of each person was applied to the back. The paperweights become a gift that everyone loves. Tiny pinecones seashells and cloves make for a beautiful paperweight. I look forward to trying dried flowers this fall. Thanks for all the amazing videos.

Lovely video, I made one with the funeral flowers from my dad in law, my step mum totally loves it xx

[candacewilderman-resler]
