These exclusive items are simple, elegant and beautiful, making them ideal gifts. Pressed Flower Resin Jewellery With this unique and engaging tutorial, you can transform flowers into beautiful resin jewellery.  Materials Dried flowers and leaves  Epoxy resin Necklace chain  Jump ring Sticks Pilers Pendant molds Tweezers Mix the resin and hardener according to the instructions, using the sticks to mix thoroughly. Take the necessary safety precautions before working with materials like resin. Take the pendant mould and fill it halfway with a resin mix. Let it sit for some time. After some time, check for bubbles. If you see any, gently blow on them or remove them with a heat gun on a low setting. This will ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish.  Using the tweezers, carefully place the petals and dead flowers into the resin mix.  Pour the remaining resin mix into the pendant mould until it fills completely.   Wait 24 hours until your resin pendant dries completely. This is a crucial step, as the resin needs time to harden and set. During this time, it’s important to avoid touching or moving the pendant, as it can cause the resin to shift and ruin the design. Once it’s dry, add jump rings and chains to the pendant.  A beautiful piece of DIY floral jewellery is ready. When you style your Western outfit with it, you will become the centre of attention and inspire others with your creativity and love for nature.
