Step 1

Mix 100 mL of clear casting resin according to package directions.

Step 2

Separate resin into two parts. Mix a small amount of resin with fine, Gold glitter, and leave the other resin clear.

Step 3

Pour the Gold glitter resin into the rim of the plate.
TIP: Lifting the edges of the mold helps.

Step 4

Pour clear resin so that it just covers the bottom of the plate.

Step 5

Use tweezers to gently place dried flowers around the base of the plate.
TIP: You can purchase dried flowers or dry your own. This is a fun way to preserve little bits you collect on hikes or around the yard.

Step 6

Use tweezers to add pieces of Gold foil flakes to fill the spaces between the flowers. You can break the pieces up further with the tweezers as well.

Step 7

Let the flowers sit in the resin a little bit before pouring in the rest of the clear resin to fill the mold. This will help to keep the flowers from floating to the top.

Step 8

Let resin cure for 12-24 hours before displaying.
