🌼 Pro Tip:

Pick flowers early in the morning after dew has dried, and press them the same day for best results. Stick them between parchment paper in a heavy book (or use a press kit) for about 7–10 days.

🪄 How to Make It:

1. Mix the Resin: Follow the instructions on your resin kit to mix it properly (usually 1:1 ratio of resin to hardener).

2. Pour the Base: Pour a thin layer into the mold. Let it sit for a few minutes to reduce bubbles.

3. Place Your Flowers: Use tweezers to place pressed flowers and optional gold flakes. Arrange with intention—this is your moment.

4. Seal It In: Pour the second resin layer to cover the flowers completely.

5. Cure & Pop: Let it cure completely (usually 24-48 hours). Then pop them out and admire your creation!

🎁 Presentation Ideas:

• Tie a set of 2–4 with twine and a mini tag that says “Sip Pretty”

• Use at each guest’s seat during your tea party as a take-home favor

• Personalize with initials or a short quote using vinyl or decals before pouring resin
