Dried Flowers in Resin: What You Need to Know
Dried flowers hold memories moments frozen in time, preserved with care and intention. When combined with resin, they become lasting keepsakes that celebrate beauty, sentiment, and craftsmanship. In this post, we share what makes dried flowers special in resin and how to care for them properly.
Why Use Dried Flowers in Resin?
Dried flowers are ideal for resin preservation because they:
- Maintain their shape and structure
- Allow for long-term preservation
- Create delicate, timeless designs
- Hold emotional value from meaningful moments
Each flower tells a story, whether it’s from a wedding bouquet, memorial arrangement, anniversary, or a simple moment worth remembering.
How Flowers Are Prepared for Resin
Before flowers are placed in resin, they must be fully dried. This step is essential to prevent:
- Moisture bubbles
- Discoloration
- Cloudiness in the resin
Drying methods may include air-drying, silica gel, or professional preservation techniques, depending on the flower type and desired result. (In Syramid Studio we use silica gel, it takes 3-4 weeks to have the flowers fully dried, depending on the flower)
Natural Color Changes
It’s important to understand that dried flowers are natural materials and may experience subtle changes:
- Some colors may soften or deepen
- Whites may turn ivory or cream
- Reds and purples may darken slightly
These changes are normal and part of the preservation process, adding to the organic beauty of each piece.
Sunlight & Display Tips
To protect your dried flower resin piece:
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
- Display indoors or in shaded areas
- Keep away from high heat or humidity
This helps preserve both the resin clarity and the flower’s color.
Caring for Dried Flower Resin Pieces
- Clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
- Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners
- Handle with clean, dry hands
- Treat as an art piece rather than an everyday utility item
