  • 1 pair Gloves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Find a clean, well-ventilated area to work.
  • Cover surfaces with newspaper or a drop cloth to protect against spills.

Mixing the Resin

  • In a mixing cup, combine equal parts epoxy resin and hardener.
  • Stir slowly for several minutes until the mixture is clear and well combined.

Adding Flowers

  • Place your dried flowers into the silicone mold.
  • Use a toothpick to arrange them as desired, creating an appealing composition.

Pouring the Resin

  • Carefully pour the mixed resin over the flowers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  • Fill the mold to your desired height, leaving space for the LED candle.

Removing Bubbles

  • Gently run a toothpick through the resin to release trapped air bubbles.
  • Allow the resin to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let additional bubbles rise.

Curing the Resin

  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing time (usually 24 hours).
  • Make sure it’s in a dust-free area while curing.

Final Assembly

  • Once cured, carefully remove the resin piece from the mold.
  • Insert the LED tea light or bulb into the base, and enjoy your creation!

Notes

Consider mixing in alcohol ink for custom colors, and add essential oils for a delightful aroma. Experiment with different flower arrangements for varied designs.
