Nature's Treasures -Resin Pendant Jewelry Tutorial 

I'm glad she rightfully assumed it's just me and my cats doing crafts and that I need tips on keeping cat hair away

If you dry out the flowers in silica gel first, then they won't lose their shape, and they won't lose their colour. It's almost like a very fine sand, it's reusable, and it dries flowers out really well, and although the colours of some flowers might change, they don't just lose their colours completely. Using silica gel to dry out the flowers, also makes them a little stronger, and they don't fall apart as easily. It makes them almost feel like a delicate paper, but they look as good as when they were first picked, and they don't lose their shape at all.

Awesome video! I love how you mentioned all the ways to keep keepsakes this way. In victorian times they would even keep hair like this in designs to honor loved ones that have passed on. I have just recently started providing this service with pet hair

My cat passed away and I was looking for a way I could remember her. I wanted a fur jewellery keepsake but they’re so expensive online. Thank you for providing this tutorial, now I can cherish her and she can be by my heart forever.

thx for the tips sweetheart.. i was having trouble with it..beautiful work..

I'm just learning about jewelry making but I'm so excited. Thanks for your video. I love your creations!

I love the way these turned out. Awesome tutorial!!

Great work I love it!

You made a beautiful video! Very well done, and thank you for providing this info.

que trabalho linnnnndo vou fazer que aula maravilhosa Parabéns vídeo top

The flowers that lost their colour, that is because they weren't dried. When you resin fresh flowers, they are likely to lose their colour and turn a brownish colour. I know other people are saying they will rot - they won't. It's just the browning. You can easily dry flowers using silica cat litter (nice and cheap!).

Thank you very nice job ...

Great video, answered a lot of my questions. Thank you

Thank you Sandy! Very helpful.

What a cool craft thanks for sharing your very kind.

Thank you, it was very easy to understand. I will totally try it!

We have a side yard where we get some of the prettiest blooming weeds. I’ve wanted to use them in resin projects, but never seem to get around to drying them. I’m thrilled to know I don’t have to dry them first. I have several brands of resin to try, including Lisa Pavelka’s UV type. Gonna try next spring when they come back in bloom. TFS!

This video is so helpful. Thanks!

You're a great teacher

Instead of carving the edges, use a set of wet sand paper. Polish and shine after, to a great deep gloss.👍😁

They are so pretty! I wanna put a flower my girlfriend give me in a necklace :D I’m so happy I watched this and thanks for inspiring me

Very Nice.

I have done this craft before and my flowers lost color too. I figured it was the resin I was using. I'm inspired to try this again.....thank you

"to keep dust or cat hair out" 😂 seriously, I do love this though.

I like putting a marijuana leaf or nug in the middle and wearing it to work! Its awsome having the little old ladies complimenting my necklaces not knowing its weed 🍀

Thank you for the video and ideas. Your works are beautiful. I am waiting to get my first resin in, hopefully today. I want to cover ceramic coasters.

it is the first video for me to see on your channel and I subscribed

Very cool! I make similar jewelry!

I always was told that you have to use dried flowers. In think next summer I will give it try and try is with fresh flowers. Thanks for the tutorial.

adorei! maravilhoso... ganhou uma inscrita no seu canal. bjs

I don't know. Sometimes the bubbles look kinda nice. Depends.

Very cute pieces! I just started uploading crafting videos. Happy creating :)

thank you 😆

thank you for those very helpful tips! I didn't know the one about dipping it! Also I thought the flowers have to be pressed. Thanks a lot :)

Best video!

Wow, awesome video! I find a lot of clovers and would like to make them into pendants!

" this is just GRASS " lol

Salam dari Indonesia. Thank.....

Belo trabalho, o que fazer para que a resina não tire a cor original das flores

You can always sand the edges if you go over the lip of any mold and have extra resin. Just use a bit of water on a super fine grit sandpaper, then polish after it's sanded down and smooth.

These are really pretty. I think you can drill into those air bubbles and then add more resin to get rid of them. :o)

You can't put real flowers with an epoxy resin should be dried, otherwise they will rot in the finished product

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, really thorough. I want to get into making jewelry and art with resin, but I don't know much about it. Does the resin yellow over time?

Hej there. Thank you for your great video. I actually found your video looking for an answer and by viewing your video I see you have the same problem:) I am a beginner but have made several pieces. At first I tried out all sorts of stuff with resin but I love nature so I started looking for anything I could use. I have normal 2 part resin and 2 kinds of UV resin and one is the one you are using. I started out with the UV but I use the 2 part at the moment. Oddly enough I haven't really had problems with bubbles with my flowers at least not like the ones you showed and I don't dip but I will from now on use your method to hopefully prevent any tiny bubbles. THANK YOU!! My problem is that only few flowers keep their color. I used a big purple flower and it turned green I used Pansys and the purple one turned yellow and some violet tiny flowers in one flower also went green. It's driving me nuts haha. But not all purple or red changes color. I am wondering if it could be because I'm using fresh flowers. It seems that the kinds that don't change color are the ones that are a dryer kind like heather. Heather keeps it's color and also some dried orange flowers I used as a sprinkle behind a fresh flower. I also have the problem you talk about with things not covered on the back of a pendant. But I have found a way to deal with that. I often use small berries the kind that is not for eating. So once it is cured I will take a sharp pair of scissors and simply cut as close as I can anything sticking up. I use a lot of different things in each pendant. After doing that I will use the UV resin and put the pendant on a flat suffice on top of the tray in a nail curing box and pour UV resin over the back side of the pendant down the middle and use a toothpick to make sure it gets all the way to the sides. I will then cure it in the box 2 or 3 times 2 minutes and then if anything still sticks out I will add another layer until it is smooth. This works great. The nail curing box is a must with the UV resin. You just have to cure it in layers because if you fill up a mold it won't cure. I haven't used it with the UV resin you use but with another kind. But this also means that you can only use smaller molds like the mod podge ones. I have something I got from England where you get 7 small stick of this stuff and you put a stick in very hot water for a few minutes and then you can use it like clay for a while. You can then use any object you want and press it into this claylike stuff and make a mold that way. It will harden quickly and then you have your own mold. You can reuse this stuff anytime just by putting it in hot water again. In my country it's a challenge to get a good mold or even anything that you can get in other countries like resin. But thank you again for your video I will subscribe for more great tips:) Oh and by the way even though the 2 part resin is past it's shelf time and the hardener har turned tea color I can still use it and it's still transparent and only in some pieces it will have a light tea color but nothing dramatic. Just hate to throw anything out and use it for the practice:) Sorry about the very long comment:)

I like your video and try using m pod a nice light layer will protect your work.

Hello, I have a question and maybe you can answer me. I've been making some resin parts .. I tried with some green flowers / foliage. All were yellowing .. would you know any technique to '' keep '' their original color?

this was great, thank you!! real quick: do you recommend dipping even if the flowers are pressed flat for a few weeks? Can bubbles still form with them being flat? thank you :)

I loved this tutorial ! best one i've seen. I was wondering, after you dip the flower in (to get bubbles out) you said to wait 10 - 15 minutes then put in the sun.... after this part do you add abit more resin in ? or is dipping the flower in resin and putting it in the mold enough ? i hope this question makes sense.... basically do i add more resin after dipping it in and putting in the mold? Thanks so much!

is there any substitute for resin? i can't find some here in the philippines

i seen that you use a knife to clean edges. I am getting ready to do these just for gifts but im such a perfectionist. I was at Harbor Freight yesterday and i bought a bench grinder/polisher. it was $28 dollars and i used a 25% additional coupon so yea, im going to start doing this today lol i just did mt nails so im in the mood to craft!!! just a suggestion.

I've never seen anyone use fresh flowers. I don't mind small bubbles in these pieces too much, in my rose pieces they look like dew drops on the bloom 😊 That mold is not the best one as it is very matte and not shiny. With this mold I usually use the up side as the front as it is very shiny. I wonder how these fresh plants will do in there over time.

That weed is henbit, a close relative of purple deadnettle. Neither are poisonous, and the flowers are delicious. They are members of the mint family.

The Magic Glos is far more expensive than I expected. Approximately how many pendants can you make with a 6 ounce bottle? Thanks!

Where can I find these resins... I really want them

I wonder if you could use nail polish to make a cool water marble

Hi love them! Sorry to ask how do you do the wholes to make pendants n necklaces?🤔

You can also use Dan's paper too smooth the edges

Can you use acrylic paint or coloured powders in this resin? Thanks. Your pendants are beautiful.

Where can I find these resin and mould

Your voice is so soothing. Also, does this come out hard or soft?

Hello, I'd like to know if we have to use an hardener as we usually see in the tutos? I never did it but I'd like to start.. How long do we have to wait for the first coat to dry?

so it has to be direct sunlight do you have a link where to get one from Sandy do you have the light to? just wondering about the cost for the light and the resin

I have had some trouble with some flowers losing color also. I have heard that drying them before adding them to resin helps retain the color but I have not tried it myself. Also drying supposedly helps with less air bubbles but again... I don't have enough patience usually to wait for the flowers to dry. :) - Heidi

Use a cross hatch nail file to remove extra resin on pieces gives a smooth finish, and dry the plants or they will turn inside the resin going nasty.

dove posso acquistare quel prodotto? posso usare la resina bicomponent?

The pretty little [purple] flowers are creeping charlie, a common weed in the mint family believed to have medicinal benefits.

why my fresh flowers change the collor informacija resin?

Hi there my fingers skipped some letters ok I should've said brushing a light coating of decoupage, mod podge on your fresh or dry flours . Lots of luck cynthia from reno nv.

Do you have a link where I could find that mold? Thanks!

how long does it take to cure in the sun? and can u use a gel nail uv light? lovey idea

does that resin have to be in direct sunlight I was thinking about the winter time

If I wanted to add colour to the resin, could I just use dye? Very informative video by the way! :)

Thank you very much. I remember once I picked my own flowers and put them in my resin but the color changed after a while. What do you recommend me?

Where can I get those supplies that the things you used? Please?

Chất để làm ra

hello can you use clear gel tacky glue to make Pendants

Have to disagree I love the bubbles, even on nature Crystals have bubbles, and imperfect ions that make them unique..

If you live somewhere dark what would you recommend instead of sunlight? If it's a UV lamp, how big? I know you can buy the mini ones used by salons to dry nail polish. Thanks!

Would cristallized tree sap stain the resin?

A got a similar mold and it was written on the packet that an unmolding agent is needed. What do you think?

where can i get that drill equipment in india?

hi, I would like to make a fishing fly paper wait . can you advice the best way to do it. Also where do I purchase the materials. Looking forward to hearing from you, Giuliano

I love it, where I can buy Resin?

try pre drying your flowers in a low light situation. it got bleached in the sun when it ejected the moisture

I wish you would've showed the front of resin bottle..what was the name of it again?

I noticed that when you were showing the results, that the side that's supposed to be the front is a little fuzzy/blurry/not clear. but the back side is almost like glass. are there other options or methods so that the front side will stay clear ?

If I have a deep mold then can I use resin to preserve a rose 🌹

hi .Please tell me What can liquid of Use?

Are fresh the flowers?.

Where can I buy all the materials?

Can anyone tell me if you can cast resin in a plaster mold? The kinds of molds that you cast ceramic pieces

I hope youu dont me asking where youu got your wonderful mold from? :D

the flowers will not wither and turn brown?

What do you do if it's not sunny out? Can they still harden if they're in overcast light?

they are pretty now but from experience they will rot inside the resin. it will take a few weeks maybe a month but they will turn brown. that's why people who sell these online use pressed flowers the flowers can't have any moisture left in them.

I was wondering can you give me the brand and name of the resin you used.

How to drythem

I tried using the leaves and flowers that had just been picked into the resin, but the results were like burning or blister ... why?

How can i avoid color degredation in the plant?

Try using a lighter to heat the resin and pop air bubbles.
