Tips and Tricks

  • Use a toothpick or small brush to arrange the flowers in the resin.
  • Experiment with different types of flowers and petals to create unique designs.
  • If you don't have a bookmark mold, you can use a silicone ice cube tray or make your own mold with cardboard and tape.
  • To make sure the flowers stay in place, you can glue them to the bottom of the mold before pouring the resin.
  • If you want to add a personal touch, you can write a quote or message on the bookmark with a permanent marker before adding the resin.
