Introduction

Dried flowers are among the most poetic and trendy inclusions to incorporate into your epoxy resin creations. Whether for jewelry, decorative pieces, or small objects, they add a natural, romantic, and delicate touch.

But beware: achieving a beautiful floral inclusion requires a few precautions to ensure a clean, bubble-free result that lasts over time. Here are our tips for perfect dried flower inclusions!

1. Choose your flowers carefully: dried, but not too fragile

Use only perfectly dried flowers; otherwise, they may brown or develop mold once trapped in the resin.

⚠️ Best choices:

  • Small flowers (baby’s breath, daisy, buttercup…)

  • Flat petals

  • Pressed flowers (ideal for flat jewelry or thin surfaces)

2. Handle the flowers carefully before immersing them in the resin

Some flowers can crumble when they come into contact with resin.

To avoid this:
Choose flowers that are in good condition and work in layers—pour a thin layer of resin first, then place the flowers carefully and gently.

3. Reduce bubbles for flawless transparency

Flowers are porous and often release small air bubbles into the resin. To avoid this:

Apply an initial thin layer of resin, place your flowers on it, then at the end of the pour use a heat gun on the surface to remove bubbles.

And of course, work slowly and at room temperature (20–25 °C / 68–77 °F).

4. Play with compositions for greater harmony

Take the time to arrange your flowers using fine brushes, tweezers, or toothpicks—especially when creating jewelry or small objects.

➡️ Create a floating effect or a stylized pattern (centered flower, asymmetrical dispersion, etc.).
Also consider adding colored pigments to the resin for a beautiful background!

5. Patience and thin layers: the key to beautiful inclusions

It’s better to pour several thin layers with short intervals in between than to pour everything at once.

This gives you greater control over flower placement, reduces bubbles, and prevents them from rising or floating to the surface.
