Create a beautiful pressed flower resin tray using a photo frame and liquid glass. This makes a really great gift and can be displayed in so many different ways.
Yield: 1 Resin Tray
Cost: $15
Equipment
- Tweezers
Materials
- Deep Picture Frame
- Handles
- Mod Podge
- Pressed Flowers
- Tri-Art Liquid Glass
- Clear Caulk
Instructions
- Remove the back and paper of the picture frame.
- Run a bead of clear caulk around the edge of the glass on the backside.
- Drill holes in the sides and screw in the handles.
- Make sure you press your flowers, petals, and leaves a few weeks beforehand. If there is any moisture the resin may not cure properly.

- Allow the glue to dry.
- Carefully pour the liquid glass mixture all over, using just enough to cover the plant material.
- Remove any bubbles with a pin.

Notes
If you have trouble placing the flowers where you want try using a pair of tweezers.
Store your tray away from direct sunlight to preserve the flower colors.
