Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken.

I only recently 'discovered' you... nd my daughter and I absolutely love you !
I love the way that you do things and the fact that you share every aspect of your process with us. I really appreciate you showing how you store your dried pressed flowers. I’ve been saving mine in little folded waxed paper bundles but I find that if I do not use them soon, they can degrade and or/ lose color. The tip on sealing them first and storing in the airtight container WITH the little silica bundle….
🌟 PURE GENIUS SIR!🌟
I thank you again for sharing your amazing crafting sorcery.
My mom has a mutated bed of clovers, a lot of four leaf clovers grow in her yard! Definitely will be giving this a try 🥰
Oh cool!
This is going to help me out a lot. I had recently gotten a bouquet from my grandma for my 16th birthday and I wanted to preserve them for resin. But a lot of the videos had supplies listed that I had absolutely no idea what they were. But I don’t have the resin yet because I have never done it before and the flowers obviously won’t last til I can get the supplies in
What a great video, I was gonna try and dry my own flowers, but didn’t know how to go about doing it. Now I know!!😉 you always put out a video right when I need to know something!!! 👍 😘 thanks all the way from Fayetteville North Carolina!!!!!
Gently..... CRUNCH LMAO 😂
Love the Silica bag idea 💡
I was about to buy a flower press so this video is so helpful. Thank you.
Every time I’m looking for a resin related tutorial, you go it!
They look so pretty!!!! They don’t look faded
Thanks a million for your video, you have helped me for this new beginning project
#Flower I press my flowers basically the same way! I call it old school. I’ve never thought to seal them though! Thank you for this!
The dude from clockwork orange found a fantastic hobby haha. I plan to use this technique later thanks!
Love this!! Ready to store my flowers
Orchids are my favorite 😍

Very well shot and helpful video. Thank you 🙏🏼
Very interesting! I will try this. Thanks!
Great tutorial can’t wait to try it out just wondering where you get your sealing spray ?
I love orchids one of my favorite flowers :)
Thank you for this video. It's a big help for for me as I have a cannabis to do....P.S. you also reminded me I have cannabis leaves in a book I forgot about lol they should be dry now. It's been about 3 months lol oops 😬
Thanks sm for making this video. It’s really helpful, especially as someone who’s relatively new to pressing flowers :D
Very, Very cool! I just bought some dried flowers from eBay from a seller in another part of my state. I was wondering if it was something I should do myself. I'm not sure if I will, but you have removed the mystery that surrounded the process for me. Thank you ! 💐😄
Great video. I've been putting my pressed flowers in and old style photo album with the clear page that sticks. It seems to work really well. Looking forward to the flowers in resin videos 👍
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts after watching this video I bought the lights from your Amazon link. Can't wait to try it out. 👍
Thank you for this tutorial!😊
Thank you so much I want to use flowers in resin
ZazakAllah Khair dear :) want more like this please
Do you think I can use Mod Podge spray sealer? Thank you
Love flowers
# I work all the time with Art pressed flowers
Amazing. Thank you Steve. What did you spray on the flowers please
Fantastic very useful x
I have been using this exact method to dry my roses from my rose bushes, however they have all darkened to almost black and lost all their color. I have watched several videos on how to prevent this and preserve their color but haven't found anything helpful. Could I get some suggestions, please? Could it be because I press them face-up instead of face-down? Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks Steve that was really helpful. Flowers # :)
haha - press gently lol. Some great top tips there Steve. I love drying the flowers, following your tips, they always come out great
Thank you.
#Flowers
Did all flower will remain their color? I wanna do my own press flower I'm afraid that the color will become faded.
Can hair spray be used as a sealing spray?
I pressed some flowers between two parchment lined cookies sheets and they molded. Help. What did I do wrong? We live in Colorado so the air is plenty dry
Waxy parchment paper can’t soak up the flowers moisture. You need a paper that can absorb the moisture
How would we know if the flowers are completely dry!?
How would you suggest pressing a bell flower(im assuming that is what it is) its purple and inside flower it has slight depth. Would you face it side ways or ...? Each time i tried it doesnt look good lol
Thanks.
Can I use any brand of acrylic sealer spray?
Do you happen to know if you'd seal the flowers for paper crafts as well like cards and such?
P.S. Just took a look at the rest of your videos, and you are seriously talented. I have never used resin nor do I think I'll be using it any time soon, but I subscribed anyway just to see what you come up with!
Can i use baking paper instead
Thx Steve beautiful love ❤️
Have you ever pressed bleeding hearts? They’re so thick and full of moisture that it doesn’t seem possible.
Think it messed up a little bit later the end looks like the pink orchids stuck when you seal them
Learning new methods to make my resin projects. 🫶🏻
How did you dry the rose?
Do the flowers absolutely have to be sealed before putting in resin? Or can they be used without sealing?
Thanks 👍

🌼🌻🌸🏵️🌹🌺💮
I’ve tried it with orchids SO MANY times and they always come out crazy moldy 😭
#flower
What spray did you use on them?
Steve McDonald Arts and Crafts Thank you!
This is not a good video. The entire project is free to do (even silica can be substituted with dry white rice, much safer and non toxic). I really hope no one went and bought a bunch on unnecessary stuff for a kids project.
