Accessible Luxury Is Something Everyone Can Appreciate

By Janine Hughes


Handcrafted preserved flower jewelery can be made into bracelets, beads, tie clips, pendants and earrings. All species of flowers can be kept and made into beautiful everlasting pieces. The flowers that are to be used need not be perfect; they can still be used even if they have been freeze dried as long as there is still color, they will work well to represent accessible luxury.

Each piece can have its own shape and color added and can even be inserted into a frame to match the necklace. These flowers need not be real as artificial ones work just as well and pieces of wedding lace or confetti can be added as well. There are businesses all around the world that will customize ones keepsake for a price but making them oneself is even more exciting.

They are also able to preserve photos, fabric as well as hair or any item that has sentimental value. Many people have requested that confetti from their wedding be preserved as well as bouquets. Each piece that is made will be unique as they all made by hand. The process takes about one week as each piece is sourced, the resin in mixed and pored and then left to harden for seven days. It will then be drilled and filed ensuring that it will be smooth, beautiful and one of a kind.

This method is also used by dental technicians to produce dental castings, toys as well as modern product mock-ups. Due to the fact that the making of a resin mold is very easy and not that expensive many people are now using this method in their own workshops at home. It is an amazing feeling to be able to produce a craft that one has produced themselves.

These weights are generally about one and a quarter inches in height and three inches in diameter and have a flat base. The square ones are about three inches by three inches and about one inch in height. It can be either lying flat on the surface or standing upright depending on the person's preference.

Add the two bottles of resin to a mold or a plastic cup and always follow the instructions. Stir carefully for the time allocated and leave to one side. Spray the inside of the mold with a mold release spray, this will just make it a little easier when removing the flower cast.

Fill the mold half full with the resin and quickly insert the flower. Use a toothpick to maneuver the petals into the resin and to help remove any air bubbles that will appear. Try to avoid too much handling of the flower. Fill the mold and set aside and allow hardening preferably over night.

The following day it can be popped it out of the container. One can then customize it into a preserved flower jewelery piece. It is guaranteed to last a life time and can be passed down from generation to generation.
