Make a Ring with Rose Petals and Epoxy Resin

Today we will make a very beautiful and delicate ring with rose petals — a thing reminding us of summer :)

You need the following materials:

- epoxy resin and hardener;

- sticks for mixing;

- rose;

- glass;

- cap;

- syringes;

- stand;

- gloves;

- respirator.


Attention!
The respirator and gloves are a must as epoxy is toxic.

Mix epoxy resin and hardener according to instruction.

Leave the mixture for about 30 minutes to slightly thicken and let all bubbles out.

Meanwhile, make a stand:

The next step — prepare the petals:


Important!
The rose must be completely dry. If it is just slightly dried, you will discover mold later...

Next, take the stand and insert the base.

There should be space between the stand and the ring, or the epoxy resin may stick them to each other:

Add some resin drop by drop:

Let the ашыке thin layer dry for 20 minutes. After that, lay out the petals.

Then add a thin layer of epoxy resin as shown in the photo:

And leave for 10-15 minutes:

Then put more resin to fix the petals.

And put the ring under a cap for one-two days to get dry.

Tips:

1. If your resin does not freeze, this means that you have mixed it in a wrong proportion, i.e., not according to instructions. You have to do it again.

2. If there are bubbles, even if you leave it for some time, you should put the cup with the resin in hot water for a few minutes. It helps to get rid of all bubbles.

3. If some drops of resin are over the edge, remove them using the same sticks for mixing or wait for complete drying and remove them with a utility knife.

As a result, you get this delicate, romantic ring that can be worn at any time of the year and share love.
