Admittedly I love resin because it’s such a versatile crafting medium. You can make everything from jewelry to home decor.

I was also intimidated by it for a long time. That meant years of putting off learning how to use it. That was absolutely a mistake. It’s so easy to work with, especially with a mold.

If you feel intimidated by working with resin like I did, let me bring you into the crafty fold with this super easy pressed flower resin coasters tutorial.

Bonus Tip:

My puppy got to one of these molds when I had them set out to work with. I got his hairs out of it by wrapping my finger in double-sided tape and tapping inside of the mold.

Pressed Flower Resin Coasters Materials

2 oz each of Resin Parts A and B (for each coaster)
Pressed Flowers and Leaves
Cup for Mixing
Stick for Stirring
Silicon Coaster Molds
Metal Resin Tool (to press and move flowers in your resin)

Step 1

First, mix 2 ounces of your resin parts A and B together. Ensure that they are mixed thoroughly together or your resin won’t cure correctly.

Step 2

Next, pour enough mixed resin into your mold to create a thin base layer. Do not fill your mold completely yet.

Step 3

Now, press your flowers and leaves into your base layer of resin. Use your metal resin tool to push them into the resin.

Step 4

Then pour additional resin into your mold until it is full.

Step 5

Your flowers and leaves will move slightly when you pour in your additional resin. Use your resin tool to gently push them back into place.

Step 6

Next, allow your resin to cure according to your resin directions. I cured my coasters for 24 hours.

Tip:

Make sure that you place your mold on a flat and level surface to cure. This ensures that your coasters are even when they cure.

Step 7

Once your resin has cured, carefully pop your coasters out of the molds.

Step 8 (Optional)

If you want, cut a base out of cork and glue it to the bottom of your coasters. I chose not to do this because I really like the clear look of these coasters without it.

These pressed flower resin coasters are seriously a beautiful addition to your home. They also make a great handmade gift for friends and family. Tie a set up with a pretty ribbon and voila! You’re ready to go!
