Prepare the resin by following the instructions on the two-part resin epoxy kit bottle; always wear a mask, gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. For Danielle’s kit, first, measure the resin and harder in their own separate cups. Pour 2 ounces of hardener into one cup and 2 ounces of resin in the other. In a new, empty cup, pour the resin and the hardener inside and mix thoroughly with a wooden craft stick.

Once the resin is mixed according to the instructions, gently pour a thin layer of resin into one mold at a time. Tip: if the flowers move around, simply adjust with the tweezers. After you pour, add a little more resin to any areas that need little more resin.
