Dried Pressed Flowers for Art & Craft

Dried pressed flowers bring the delicate beauty of real flowers into resin art. Their flat shape, natural colours, and fine details make them especially suitable for creating resin jewellery, bookmarks, coasters, trays, phone cases, artwork, and other handmade creations.

At BloomyBliss, our dried pressed flowers are naturally preserved and carefully selected for crafters, artists, DIY enthusiasts, and resin artists who want to work with real botanical elements.

Why Use Dried Pressed Flowers in Resin Art?

Pressed flowers are different from regular dried flowers because they are naturally flattened during the pressing process. This makes them easier to position inside a resin surface without taking up too much space.

They can add:

• Natural colour and texture to resin artwork
• Delicate botanical details
• A handmade and organic appearance
• Unique designs to jewellery and accessories
• A beautiful connection between nature and craft

Because every flower is naturally different, each resin creation can have its own character.

Our Dried Pressed Flowers for Resin Art

At BloomyBliss, we preserve flowers from BloomyBliss Farm and carefully prepare them for different creative applications.

Our collection may include small flowers, petals, leaves, and other delicate botanical elements that can be used individually or combined to create your own designs.

Whether you are creating a small resin pendant or a larger botanical artwork, pressed flowers give you the freedom to experiment with different colours, shapes, and compositions.

How to Use Dried Pressed Flowers in Resin

Using pressed flowers in resin is relatively simple, but preparation is important.

1. Choose Your Flowers

Select flowers that are completely dry and free from visible moisture. Smaller and flatter flowers are often easier to work with, particularly for jewellery and small resin moulds.

2. Plan Your Design

Before mixing your resin, arrange the flowers on a clean surface and decide how you want your final design to look.

Try combining:

• Different flower sizes
• Petals
• Small leaves
• Different natural colours
• Multiple botanical elements

Planning beforehand helps you avoid unnecessary handling once the resin is mixed.

3. Prepare the Resin

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing your epoxy resin. Measure the resin and hardener accurately and mix slowly to reduce the formation of bubbles.

4. Place the Flowers

Depending on your project, you can place the pressed flowers into the first layer of resin and gently position them using tweezers or another suitable tool.

Avoid moving them unnecessarily once they are positioned.

5. Add the Final Resin Layer

Once the flowers are positioned, carefully add another layer of resin to encapsulate them completely.

Allow the resin to cure according to the resin manufacturer’s instructions.

What Can You Make With Dried Pressed Flowers?

There are many creative ways to use pressed flowers in resin.

Resin Jewellery

Create unique:

• Pendants
• Earrings
• Rings
• Bracelets
• Brooches

Small pressed flowers work particularly well for delicate jewellery designs.

Resin Bookmarks

Pressed flowers can turn a simple bookmark into a beautiful botanical keepsake. Add flowers, leaves, or small petals to create a personalised design.

Resin Coasters

Larger pressed flowers and botanical arrangements can be used to create decorative coasters for your home.

Resin Trays

Create botanical trays by combining flowers with leaves and other natural elements.

Phone Cases

Pressed flowers can also be incorporated into decorative phone cases, creating a personalised accessory inspired by nature.

Botanical Resin Art

For artists, pressed flowers can become part of larger resin artwork. Combine different flowers and compositions to create one-of-a-kind botanical pieces.

Which Dried Flowers Are Best for Resin?

The best choice depends on the size and type of resin project.

Small, flat flowers and delicate petals are particularly useful for jewellery, bookmarks, and small moulds.

You can experiment with:

• Small dried flowers
• Pressed petals
• Tiny leaves
• Small botanical pieces
• Flat flower heads
• Delicate wildflowers

For larger projects, you can combine several varieties to create depth and contrast.

Tips for Using Pressed Flowers in Resin

Make sure the flowers are completely dry. Moisture can interfere with resin projects.

Handle flowers gently. Pressed flowers are delicate and can break easily.

Use tweezers for small pieces. This makes precise placement easier.

Plan your composition first. A simple arrangement often creates a more elegant result.

Avoid overcrowding the mould. Leave enough space for resin to surround the flowers properly.

Work in a clean, dry environment. Dust and moisture can affect the finished piece.

Follow your resin manufacturer’s instructions. Different resin products have different mixing, curing, and safety requirements.

Why Choose Natural Pressed Flowers?

Artificial flowers can provide consistent shapes and colours, but natural flowers have small variations that make each piece unique.

A naturally pressed flower may have slight differences in colour, size, texture, or shape. These variations are part of its character and can make handmade resin artwork feel more authentic.

At BloomyBliss, we believe that natural imperfections are part of what makes working with real flowers special.

From Our Farm to Resin Art

Our journey with dried flowers began unexpectedly.

When we started developing BloomyBliss Farm, we experimented with different flowers to understand which varieties could grow successfully in our land. After months of research and trials, we finally had our first flower crop ready.

Then COVID changed everything.

With restrictions affecting movement and markets, we could not make the most of our fresh harvest. Instead of allowing the flowers to go to waste, we began experimenting with natural drying and preservation.

That experiment became the beginning of our dried flower journey.

Over time, we discovered that these preserved flowers could have a second life—not only as decorations and gifts, but also as beautiful materials for crafts and resin art.

Today, our dried flower collection carries a small part of that journey from BloomyBliss Farm to your creative table.

FAQ

Can I use dried pressed flowers in epoxy resin?

Yes. Completely dry pressed flowers can be incorporated into many epoxy resin projects. Always follow the instructions and safety guidance provided with your resin.

Are pressed flowers better than regular dried flowers for resin?

Pressed flowers are particularly convenient for projects where you need a flat botanical element, such as bookmarks, jewellery, phone cases, and flat resin artwork. Regular dried flowers can be better when you want more three-dimensional texture.

Can I use dried flower petals in resin?

Yes. Dried petals can be used to create delicate patterns and colourful botanical designs in resin.

How do I stop pressed flowers from moving in resin?

You can carefully position the flowers in a thin initial layer of resin and allow it to become slightly set before adding the next layer, depending on the resin system you are using. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Can I use fresh flowers in resin?

Fresh flowers contain moisture and are generally not suitable for directly embedding in epoxy resin. Properly dried or pressed flowers are a better choice.

How should I store dried pressed flowers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep them protected from moisture until you are ready to use them.

Can beginners use dried pressed flowers for resin art?

Absolutely. Pressed flowers are a good material for beginners because their flat shape makes positioning easier. Start with a simple project such as a bookmark or small pendant before moving to larger pieces.

Do natural dried flowers look different from artificial flowers?

Yes. Natural flowers can have variations in colour, shape, and texture. These natural differences are part of their character and make each creation unique.
