Please note-- In this video I used an artifical silk rose. Many people have assumed it was real and have been dissappointed when they used an unprepared fresh flower. You can use a real flower in resin but only after it has been dried out. If you are trying to make this project with a real flower please watch my video called Making a valentines day/wedding bouquet/fresh flower keepsake- how to dry flowers and set in resin. It explains how to dry and seal the flower before using in a resin project such as this one. I know from the many messages that I recieve that many people have saved a rose from a wedding bouquet, valentines gift or other special occasion and used my video to make a wonderful keepsake. It makes me very happy to know that I am inspiring you.
So here's how I made this beautiful romantic rose pyramid lamp with epoxy resin. I used a silk rose and a set of LED copper fairy lights. (Update-A set of white micro light with clear cable and USB connector and remote control is the best thing to use I think now). It took several layers to complete, and the resin I used is quite slow to cure, but it was worth the wait. It came out crystal clear with no air bubbles at all. I have another video of how I prepare my resin as I don't show that here. For this project I actually used Epodex ultra clear pro+, but the preparation was just the same as in my resin preparation video (Using a warm water bath and blasting with a heat tool). Any deep casting resin is suitable for this pyramid
This is a full tutorial as I have filmed every step I took. To keep the video as short as I possible, I have sped up the footage wherever I could.
It was quite tricky getting the copper wire lights where I wanted them to go, The wire has a mind of it's own! The lights are LED with a USB power supply. They have 8 different cycles and a timer ,You can also turn the brightness up or down. It' the first time I have used these In a pyramid and I think they work wonderfully.
I really hope you enjoy watching and If you like the video please leave me a comment. Thank you.

Amazing
😊Thank you very much.
Thank you for this. My boyfriend just bought me pink roses so I know what I’m going to do with them. 😀😀
You got roses- lucky you. Great idea to preserve them this way but please remember if they are fresh flowers, they should be dried out. The best way is put the roses in silica for 2--3 weeks. Fresh flowers have too much moisture and react with resin. They would lose their colour and go all squishy. I hope you can make the pyramid with your special roses and happy crafting.😊
That is so stunning!
Thank you so much.😊
Soooooo beautiful!

So talented beautiful work
Thank you so much.😊
This is by far the most helpful video I watched, thank you so much.
I am so pleased you found it helpful. Thank you for the lovely comment.😊
Excellent result, I'm about to start my own right now. Great inspiration.
Thank you for the comment and good luck with your one.😊
Thank you for an awesome tutorial, I'm 2 layers into my big pyramid, first time I've done anything that big!
Thank you so much and good luck with your first big pyramid.😊
This absolutely fabulous, I would love something like this.xx😊
Thank you very much.😊
Hello Roselily. I'm Brazilian and I used the google translator to write, sorry for any mistake in the translation. I'm loving watching your videos! So much talent, dedication to explaining your work in detail! Thank you.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment Patricia. The translation worked perfectly and It's very kind of you to go to the trouble of doing it. I really appreciate your wonderful message.Thank you again.❤
@@roselilyresincreations9686 🤗👏
so pretty 💜💜 much love from Indonesia
Thank you so much and love to you and indonesia.❤
Thanks so much for this information! I 've been working with resin for about 6 months now, and my usual aesthetic is more Morticia Addams than magnolia blossoms. But there are so many beautiful flowers (real and artificial) rn that I' ve become obsessed with putting blooms in everything I make, lol.
When I got married 17 years ago, my Aunt dried the flowers from my bouquet and then put the potpourri in glass Christmas ornaments for all of our closest family. It is my husband's & my favorite ornament on our tree.
My best friend is getting married this summer and she is using silk flowers, so as a gift for her I've agreed to save her bouquet in resin for her 💐. This video has been very helpful as I am taking a few practice runs with some random silk flowers, I want to make all the mistakes before I try with her actual wedding flowers 💜
My pleasure, so pleased that you found it helpful. Making your friends wedding boughet flowers into a pyramid lamp is a wonderful idea. I wish you great success with it. I am actually making an updated version of the rose pyramid as I never liked the last layer. My video will be up in a couple of weeks and I hope you will enjoy that one too.
You created an amazing lamp. It's so beautiful! When you use a quality silk flower, it comes out just fine. I think I would find quality silk flowers. We have them in craft shops in my area. Thank you for the time and instructions.
Thank you so much. A silk rose, like the one I used, will look the nicest. I hope you find one and make your own romantic rose pyramid lamp. Happy crafting.😊
So beautiful....it seem like it took 12 days or better to make this....well it turned out perfect
H yes you are absolutely right. Good things come to those who wait and yes it did come out better than I even hoped. Thank you for watching my video. 😀
making this with the first ever rose my bf gave me a year ago for my birthday and making this to give back to him ❤️❤️ i hope it goes well
Oh what a lovely romantic idea. I really hope it comes out beatiful for you. Happy crafting. 🙂❤
You made me want to try this in my 5 sided pyramid I have. It’s so beautiful
Aw thank you for the lovely comment. Please tell me where did you get a 5 sided pyramid from? I have never seen one but it sounds fabulous. I would love to see yours if you do make one. Happy crafting.
Phi molds, you can get it off eBay or their website (pentagonal pyramid) it’s a really good mold!
www.phimolds.com/collections/pentagonal-pyramid/products/pentagonal-pyramid-140mm-base
I believe eBay is free shipping (and it came quicker ordering off eBay than their website)
@@marissasears2926 Thank you for the info. Really helpful of you. I wil be checking it out right away.
I hope you find something you love there 💕
I absolutely love this video. I am so new to this and would like to know how do you keep the different pours from creating lines in the finished project? Thank you
Thank you very much for the lovely comment. I keep the lines down by doing each layer and letting it cure and then straight away doing the next layer. Also the mold makes it hold its shape so you only see the lines on the mould itself, the pyramid is lovely and smooth. I hope that helps and welcome to resin crafting and thanks again for the comment.😊
Hi im new to your channel tfs
Hi and welcome to my channel. Thank you for subscribing to me.😊
I really love your pyramid! Also, your video was very helpful, but I have a question: what solution did you use to clean the pyramid after each layer of resin?
Thank you for the lovely comment. To answer your question- To clean any little resin specks/splashes stuck to the silicone I rub with a lolly stick, to dislodge them, then wipe away. If there's dust or glitter I wipe with a dry microfibre cloth, no solution. (really I wipe all round after every layer, even if I can't see anything, because any tiny speck there will show on the face of the pyramid. I know some crafters use rubbing alcohol, but I don't. I Hope that helps.
Thanks for the video. Is this was a fresh flower?
Hi no it was a fake rose, made of silk.
This looks so cool! How much resin did you approximately use? I’m going to make one for my mum, but just curious at how much resin I will need to buy😅
Hi I am so happy if I inspired you. Thank you it's lovely to hear. I can't remember exactly, as I didn't make a note of the amount at the time, but I think I worked it out as somewhere around 1100grams or just over a kilo. That's my best guess now. I hope that helps you and all the best for your pyramid.😊
Thank you for this! My boyfriend got me my first bouquet of roses and I’m definitely going to do this! I just don’t know what shape to do it in and what to do with the other roses lol
Your first rose bouquet, how wonderful. I am guessing they were real roses. The one in my pyramid was actually a silk rose. A real rose would go all mushy and lose color but If you dry it in silica crystals for at least 3 weeks, you can then put it in resin. I hope you find that helpful. Thank you for your comment and happy crafting.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 yess! They were real roses! Also this is so not relevant, but what do you think I should do with the other roses I cannot think haha but thank you for the help xx!
@@sashaleela273 oops I meant resin not silicine. I would put the rose upside down in clear resin then top with a glittery layer is what I meant to say.😊
@@sashaleela273 Hi my original reply got lost somewhere. I would dry as many of the rose heads as you can in silica crystals for a month. Then of course I would make a pyramid lamp with the best one😊. After that I know there's a great silicone mould of a half a ball shape paperweight if you can get one. i would set the rose/roses in upside down in clear resin, leaving 1cm at the top. Then I would add a glittery or sparkly top. When it comes out it's a rose on a glittery base paperweight and would look fabulous.Just my suggestion.😊😊😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 thank u for the suggestion!!! I just got my Silvia crystals today, but the flowers are not completely covered :( it should be alright right?
Hi, I am trying to do the same project but with a dried rose. Did you happen to use any silicone release on the mold? Thank you so much and I love the way your pyramid came out!
Hi A dried rose sounds fabulous. No I didn't use release spray on this mold, it was fairly easy to get out. I do have a five sided pyramid mold that I did spray because it's so difficult to un mold, and which will be in an upcoming video with a sunflower in. Thank you for watching my video and good luck with your one.😊
So beautiful!!! Where did you get the usb lights??
Hi I got the USB LED remote control 8 pattern wire lights from E bay. Thank you so much for the lovely comment.
Love it im wanting to do something similar, do i have to do little by little and wait 3 days for it to cure? I cant do 2 dayz inbetween?
Hi - Each layer needs time to cure or the next layer will sink down into the last. The resin I use is very slow curing, that's why I wait so long. So really it depends on which resin you use. Most others cure hard in less than a day and yes you could speed it up quite a bit. The resin I use cures crystal clear and i don't get air bubbles, thats why I prefer to take my time. Also whatever resin you use, the layer should not be more than about 2 inches deep. I hope that helps and good luck with your pyramid.😊
this is stunning, i love this video, could i please ask how much resin it used altogether
Hi and thank you. I didn't measure the resin at the time. It weighs 32oz, 900g with the feet now so I would guess it was under 900g. I am actually working on another one almost the same, but the bottom layer will be better. There will be a video of it coming soon. I hope that helps and happy crafting. 😊
That is so beautiful, love everything about it, just stunning 😍 xx
Thank you so much Sarah.😊
Hi I love your video, and it came out so beautiful, can I ask why u cover it with different things, 😍😍
Hi Thank you for the lovely comment. I cover it with whatever I have to hand thats plastic, to keep dust, pet hairs, stray glitter or whatever from getting in. I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 omg it definitely does😍😍😍 thanks beautiful
I'm your 1,000th liker hehe
Wow are you? I didn't realise it was so well liked. Thank you so much.🌹
could it cure earlier than 2-3 days or is this the normal time? Beautiful work btw!
Thank you. To answer your question, it's because the resin that I prefer to use is slow curing.
This is sooo pretty and inspiring! 🥰 May I ask the tool your using to make the holes. It looks like a hole puncher? I didn’t want to be reparative so I looked through the comments. Thank you for the time you put in for making this video ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for all the appreciation. The tool i used to make the four corner holes in the dust cover was a rotating hole punch for leather. I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 Yes it did! I tried googling it but no success without knowing what it was 😂😂😂😂 Thank you! You definitely have a new subie! Much love! ❤️
@@yataspencer9522 Thats so good to hear. Thank you for subbing to me and happy crafting.😊
this is lovely, i want to make this as wedding present, im already planning it, i guess the lights are the shortest ones, 1m
Hi thank you so much for the lovely comment. Making it for a wedding is such a lovely idea. Please note that I did use a faux silk rose in this project. ( everything I used is listed in the descrition box). Just an idea but, it woulds also be nice if you could save a rose from the wedding bouquet and use that. It must be dried out to go in resin. To dry it out thoroughly, use silica gel crystals for 3-4 weeks. That flower in a pyramid lamp would be a great memento. Another idea, in my next video I am making flowers in initials. That could be the brides and grooms too, the videos coming soon. Finally, yes you are right, the lights were the 1 metre size. (I have tried making this with bright white and coloured lights too but it really looks the best with soft warm white lights). So happy to have inspired you and I wish you luck with your pyramid.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686
i typed it all out and lost it all ahhhhhhh
i love your creativity, the lady wants hers to be very white based, so might put some white crystals at the bottom. i think ill try to put the cube a bit lower in the mold so i can have an open space for the lights rather than covering the lights with the mold.
Can I get some tips from you. My pyramids came out bumpy lumpy, I sandpaper them, then put a thin layer of resin and it dried up all blotchy and smoothe, I tried again with uv resin, again all blotchy. I used a foam brush. What am I doing wrong.
Hi, it’s beautiful. The rose is either fresh or dried ? If it is fresh it will not rot or the color may change ?
Hi and thank you. The rose is not real. It's a silk rose that I cut off of a little pot of fake roses. So It has not changed colour.😊
Do you let each layer cure fully? Also do you have to do anything to the dry layer before pouring the new layer... like sanding it or anything?
Hi yes I let each layer fully cure. I keep it covered over so no dust can get in and I do the next layer without any prep at all. I know some resins do say to work on the next layer within a time limit, but I use a slow curing resin suitable for casting to 4cm at a time. Even leaving it a couple of weeks between layers does not make any difference. So I would say it depends on which brand of resin you are using and to check their instructions for casting. Thanks and I hope that helps.😊
hello, thank you for the nice movie. the rose is made of art did you have it in the epoxy first or is that not necessary. thank you🥰
Hi thank you and the rose was a fake silk rose, not a real rose, so it went in the resin just as it was. If it had been a real rose I would have dried it out first. I have another video on my channel, -valentines, wedding bouquet keepsake pyramids- where i show how I use real flowers in resin. I hope that helps.😊
Thank you very much, I'll be sure to check it out.!!
Ahh I love this! I was thinking about doing this myself, I was wondering how much resin you used?
Thank you for the lovely comment. I really should have meaured the resin when I made it, so I can only say that it weighs 37oz finished with its feet now. 😀
@@roselilyresincreations9686 Thanks so much! I was also wondering if you used a real rose? (this might be a dumb question haha)
@@boopingtontheboopiest8220 No it's not dumb, I am always happy to respond. It was a fake silk rose in this pyramid. Real dried ones can cause air bubbles so I found these pink roses and just thought how pretty would it look in a pyramid. I hope that helps and good luck if you do make one.😀
i got one of those leather hole punchers, looks like yours, but i cant get it to punch a hole in the felt
Hi sorry to hear your punchers can't cut it. The felt I used was quite thin so maybe that's why I could do mine. Maybe you could just snip little holes with some scissors. Good luck and happy crafting.
Did you sand in between layers? So pretty!
Hi thanks for the comment and no I didn't sand it at all.
Oh wow I've always heard you need to and that's where I mess up! Definitely going to try this thank you again!
@@christineobrien7445 Happy crafting.
This is so beautiful, is the rose artificial or fresh.
Thank you for your lovely comment. This rose was artificial but for my next video, coming out in early February, I will be showing how to put fresh flowers in resin too.
What a stunning piece! 😍 How did you make sure there were no bubbles beneath the flower? ☺️
Hi If you pour the resin in slowly there's less chance of air bubbles. Also you could try swirling the mold around to get air out. Air bubbles can be a problem, I guess I was a little lucky too as I didn't get any. I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 I'll try that :) Thank you so much for answering! ❤️
@@yazminruby7927 I have made another version of this and my video will be up in a few days. You may find it helpful. Good luck making yours and happy crafting. 😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 will do! Thanks fo the heads up! Happy crafting to you too!
@@yazminruby7927 Hi again just letting you know I had technical problems and lost most of footage so there won't be a video like I said. I am dissapointed but that's life, maybe I will try again. For now, if it's any help, there's a pink hydrangea pyramid lamp coming up in a week or two, not the same but I did want to let you know in case you were waiting for the rose one.
That's amazing.. would love to know if the flower was real n dried or was artificial, made of cloth?
I really hope if someone could tell the quantity of resin used in each layer? Am very new to resin but dying to make pyramid one ASAP. Got my mould but am afrais of how to measure n divide each layer of this beauty..
Hi and thank you, so happy that I inspired you. The rose is a fake rose made of silk and plastic. I am sorry that I didn't measure the amount of resin I used in each layer. I would say guestimate it and add a bit more. Have a spare small mold to hand to use any spare resin in. I wish you luck with your pyramid and happy crafting.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 Thank you soo much for your suggestion..
12:56 I've tried it before, you are right it doesn't mix.
No it doesn't mix at all. Thank you very much for the comment.😀
I love it but I have one question, the light is now sealed in resin, what happens if the whole string stops working.?
Hi Good question and thats why there's a space left in the lower layers. If the lights did ever stop you could put another set in the space (which may not be as bright as originals but would still light it up).
How come your rose didn’t change colours when the resin hit it, was it a real rose? Every time I try putting flowers in resin the flower changes and goes yucky. Your work is bloody beautiful by the way
Hi Thanks for your question. and lovely comment. I do say in the video and in the details box that I did use a fake artificial silk rose. If you want to use a real rose then it does have to be dried for at least 3 weeks and dip coated in resin to avoid the mushyness and problems with air bubbles. The rose can change color still. It cant be helped . If you watch my video on keepsake pyramids that I posted last month that goes in to detail on using real flowers in resin. I hope that helps.Happy crafting.
Love this! But you used a fake rose right? How does the rose look after months?
Hi I have this pyramid on my desk and it still looks just as it was when i made it.
Absolutely beautiful I love it, can you share with me the name of your cutting board who the maker is, I would appreciate it and again your work is gorgeous. I'm definitely going to make one for myself.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. It's great to hear that I inspire others and this pyramid has been so popular, there are pronbably many copies and I hope yours turns out great. The cutting board is made by Tonic studios. I got it from a papercraft shop. Hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 yes it absolutely does help. And you know what do you know if these pyramid molds come a little bit smaller than the one you used or is it just that one size? And thank you so much for your reply sometimes people never get back to you you were very prompt and I appreciate it and you have a loyal viewer now.🤗🥰👍
@@patfrost628 Hi again, it's great to know I have a loyal veiwer. There isn't much choice out there with buying moulds of pyramids.There are smaller moulds but they don't have the plastic stand and are a lot smaller. They don't really hold their shape well so I do like to use the type in the video. I would love it if there was a better choice of moulds but maybe one day it will happen. By the way,I am about to upload another pyramid lamp with a turtle in so you may enjoy my new video. Happy crafting.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 I'm great I'll be watching I got to find out where to get those little turtles to their adorable thank you Roselily
@@patfrost628 Yes I did list the turtle under products I use in the description. Here's the details to make it easier to find- A multi faceted crystal turtle brooch made by TJC (The Jewellry Channel) and I got it on Ebay. I hope you find it. Happy crafting.😊
Can I use hair dryer as the heat tool?
Sorry I think a hairdryer would blow the resin all over the place. You can use a flame, like a long BBQ lighter or a flame torch but keep it on the resin and away from the silicone. I hope that helps.
This is so beautiful! I’m actually in the process of drying out flowers to create my own. I have brought some resin but it’s a 1cm pour so I was wondering what resin you use to create your pyramids ? Trying not to mess it up as it’s flowers from my grandads funeral 😰
Hi what a lovely way for you to honour your grandads memory. I really hope it turns out OK for you. I would dry the roses in silica gel for at least 3 weeks to be sure there's no moisture in them. I am in the UK and I use the epideco pro cast max resin. Their address is epideco.co.uk. Good luck with your project and thank you for the lovely comment.
@@roselilyresincreations9686 so you can't use any resin there is specific resin to make pyramids?
@@roselilyresincreations9686 have you tried any other resin other than this? Thanks
@@ivonepereira4806 Hi Because it's made in layers I only use epoxy resin thats suitable. Any brand of deep casting resin would be fine.
@@ivonepereira4806 I have used different brands of resin but only casting resin for this type of project.
Where did you find such beautiful artificial roses
They were from a shop called B&M.😊
I did the exact same steps here minus the lighting part. First, my rose 🌹 died out inside the pyramid. Any idea why? Also, so many bubbles you can barely see the rose. Any clue as to why this would happen?
Hi I am so sad to hear that you did all that work for nothing. The reason it failed is that you used a real rose. In the video I did say that I used an artificial silk rose. I will try to update the description box text to make this clearer, as many people have assumed it was real. You can put real flowers in resin but they must be thoroughly dried out and sealed as they give off gas which causes the bubbles. My latest video covers everything about flowers in resin in detail. It's called Making a valentines day/wedding bouquet/fresh flower keepsake- how to dry flowers and set in resin. I hope you have another flower and can try again following my method in the video of drying and sealing the rose. Good luck and i hope you will try again.
Wew! very very Beautiful!
Hi yes you can use a plastic rose, it's real ones that are difficult and need drying out first. Happy crafting.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 thank you so much! ❤️
I want to make a themed pyramid lamp and I was wondering, if I make letter resin molds and let them cure completely, then add them to the pyramid and hold them in place, will the resin melt the letters? Or will they hold up???
Hi its a great idea you have there. Yes you can put cured resin in resin. It will bond together and not melt. Happy crafting.
Can i change the pigmen for raisin to food coloring ?
Yes I believe you can. You could also use things like nail polish, turmeric powder, cocoa powder, ground up mica powder from any make up like eye shadows or artists acrylic paint. I hope that helps. Happy crafting.😊
Great mem. Would you please tell me how much resin it takes to make it?
It does have a hollow space at the bottom, but it still takes approximately 1.2kg of resin.
would a hair dryer work for the heat?
I am afraid not. It would blow too much and splash the resin up the sides. A naked flame would work, if you keep it away from the silicone mold. I hope that helps.
Super cute but could you do a voiceover without the music. It's so hard to follow along and read and tune out the music all at once lol
Thank you for liking my video. Sorry , but I don't do voiceover,s but it was an interesting suggestion. Just not how I rock n roll.😊
Love your video! How much would you sell this for?
Thank you for the comment. I usually sell my pyramids for around £60-£70 but this one is not for sale sorry.😊
I love your video, what does that translate to in US currency?
I have also tried this, only my resin turned a bit yellow at a certain point. Do you know why? It looks good. Do you also make orders haha!
Hi it's a shame your one turned yellow. I don't know if you used a real or fake rose, but if it was real maybe that affected it. Also the resin you use should have a good UV resiliance. I hope you try again and good luck with your next one.😀
@@roselilyresincreations9686 do you also know why my resin is not hard after 18 hours ? I used 20g of the resin and 6.7 of the hardener as you did in your video
@@diyiariduru2963 Hi did you use the same brand of resin that I did? If what you are using is a 3:1 mix and you stirred it for 3 minutes, then it should cure. It can take 48 hours or more in a cold temperature to cure hard. Some brands are a 2:1 mix so I would check the instructions on your bottles and go by that. I really hope it turns out OK for you.❤
This is fantastic, ❤️is this an artificial rose. I've tried doing pyramid resin flowers but real ones always loose their colour. You git any tips?
Hi thanks for the lovely comment. It is a fake silk rose. A real rose would have to be dried out for at least 3 weeks and they cause air bubbles in the resin. So that's why I use artificial ones. I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 yeah I've tried drying them in florists flower drying crystals, they were in there for 5 weeks but still lost colour in the resin. Might have been the type of resin I used, it was art resin. It might have gotten too hot or something, I don't know but I'll keep on trying with different resins till it works, I shall not be beaten 😁
@@yahoorsir1 Glad you don't give up. a good casting resin thats slow curing would not be so hot. I hope you find one. Good luck and happy crafting.
@@yahoorsir1 have you found a way to make real roses work? Want to preserve mine from the garden that way
@@N0N4M30 sorry, no not yet. Still trying though😁
What are the magnet things called ?👀
Hi they are called disc magnets and they come in various sizes, I got mine on Ebay.
Is that a real rose you used or a fake one ? Thinking about trying to make one of these for my mom. But i have never done one before so just learning.
Hi what a lovely idea to try to make one for your Mum. And yes my rose was an artificial silk rose. Plastic ones are fine too. Real roses have to be dried well first and they do make bubbles. I hope you give it a try and good luck.😊
Hi, oh lord I love this video! It is amazing!! So so pretty!! Do you find that you get air bubbles in between the petals?? xx
Hi Thank you for the wonderful comment. No there were no air bubbles. Maybe I was lucky but I did move it around so perhaps the air escaped. I am making one with a yellow rose right now so hope you will watch that one too.xx
@@roselilyresincreations9686 Thank you so much for your reply! 100% I love your videos!!xx
Do you have to use a heat gun or could you just use a blow dryer🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Hi good question but I would say you do have to use a heat tool or a naked flame to get the air bubbles up . A dryer would splash the resin everywhere. Happy crafting.😊😊😊😊😊😊
How long was the string of lights?
I think they were 3 metres long, if I remember rightly.
Hi can I use some of your videos for my video? I am planning on mentioning this type of process with roses ( In other language tho) let me know please. I will surely make sure to credit you.
Hi Thank you for asking. It's a compliment that you like the video. So, as long as you credit me I am happy to let you use parts of my video. Just curious though- what language will you be doing it in?
Is it necessary to wait 3 days for each layer to cure? I'm new to resin 😊
Hi thanks for the question. It is unusual to wait 3 days. The brand of resin that I was using took over 2 days to cure. I now use one that's a bit quicker but there are other brands that cure in less than a day. The important thing is to have each layer cured hard before the next as otherwise they will blend and ruin the appearance of the pyramid. Also the temperature in the room effects the cure time. I would say read the label on whatever brand of resin you choose for precise timing instructions. I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 yes, your response helps a lot, thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@Alicia-BG You are welcome.😊
How do replace the lights if needed when they are under hardened resin?
The lights should last for many many thousands of hours. I use a cube mold to make a space in the bottom so that if they did stop working there's room to insert another set of lights, coiled round, inside. It's all in the video, I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 yes I saw that on your video Just was curious if you do need another set, you just leave some of the old ones in there?
@@debraanderson2881 Hi again yes if they stopped working you can't get them out but you could cut the cable off. It's not happened yet where they don't work anymore, as far as I know, but it's a back up option to use the space.
may i ask why every 3 days? doesn't resin cure within 24hrs?
Hi it depends on the type of resin you use and the temperature in the room where it cures. I used a deep casting resin which is slow to cure but gives good results.
Can I know about the dryer and the name of dryer.
Hi I don't use a dryer so I think maybe you mean the heat tool I use to get the air bubbles to rise. It's a heat tool for crafting and it's made by dovecraft. You can get them on ebay, if you have it. Really, any brand of crafting/ embossing heat tool would do the same. I hope that helps.😊
@@roselilyresincreations9686 thank you for reply.love ur works.love from Malaysia 😍

Thank you.😊
Is it real rose
No it was a silk artificial rose. Real flowers have to be dried thoroughly before putting in resin.
Why do get your supply to do this?
Hi I list everything I use and where I get it from in the description box under products I use. I hope that helps.
Is that a real flower that you used?
No it's an artificial silk rose.
@@roselilyresincreations9686 it looked so real. It turned out really pretty. I can’t wait to get my mold in so I can start making cool things with it.
@@tangishores3668 Thank you , I am happy if I have inspired you at all. Good luck with yours and happy crafting.😊
Do you sale these?
I do sell some of my pyramids, but not this particular one.
Roselily Resin Creations could one be ordered say around Valentine’s Day?
@@ashyIarry Hi maybe. I don't know where you live. I usually post within the Uk. If you have facebook, you can messge me there. The address is in my description box half way down. Thanks.
Roselily Resin Creations ok thank u I will be in touch
@@ashyIarry Hi I got it andI have sent you a reply on fb.Thank you.
Where can you get those rubber things for standing ? And what are they called ? :D
Hi I am not really sure what you are asking about as there isn't anything rubber on the pyramid. If you mean the feet, they are metal and called flat bottomed screw in handbag feet and I get them on ebay. Everything I used is listed in the description box on the video and I hope that helps you. Happy crafting.
Why wait 3 days at a time, the time for it to dry is 4 hours. That's way too long just to make one.
Hi re your comment- 4 hours, sorry I have not heard of any resin that cures in 4 hours. I follow the instructions from the resin manufacturers. This one was slow curing but if I do something I do always do what it says on the bottle. I would rather take the time and get it right than rush and mess it up. Thanks for the comment though. By the way, what's the name of the resin that you say cures in 4 hours please?
