How I Craft Your Custom Resin Keepsakes
Resin art isn't just about pouring liquid; it's about preserving the moments that matter. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the patience and detail that goes into every piece.
Enjoy the process with me. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how your personalized keychains come to life, from designing the text on a tablet to carefully applying it and getting it ready for delivery.
Time for the big reveal! Watch as I demould some of the products I worked on today. Seeing the final, glossy finish of these custom floral coasters is one of the most satisfying parts of my job.
A quick look at how I make keychains with real flowers. The process involves carefully placing the petals, pouring the clear resin, and then demoulding the piece once it has cured to reveal the finished product.
About How Your Keepsakes Are Made
Getting your flowers preserved is a slow process, not a quick craft. It takes 15 to 20 days of careful silica drying to keep your petals looking fresh and vibrant without rotting. I handle this dehydration step manually because if I rush it, the colours won't hold, and your memories won't last.
People often see the final glossy product and assume it is a simple pour-and-dry project. The reality involves a lot more discipline. When you send me your wedding varmala, temple prasad, or baby clothes, I treat them as if they are my own memories.
The Process Behind Your Keepsake
- Flower Preparation: This is the most critical stage. Fresh flowers need 15 to 20 days in silica gel to lose moisture without losing their shape or colour. I monitor them daily to ensure they don't brown.
- Design & Precision: Every name, date, or mantra you see on my keychains and frames is custom-designed and cut by hand using vinyl. I align each one to make sure it looks perfect before the resin cure.
- Finishing Touches: That glass-like finish on my coasters and mixing palettes? It takes hours of sanding and buffing after demoulding. I do this by hand to make sure the edges are smooth and safe for everyday use.
Why Handmade Matters
Because I create these pieces individually in my Janakpuri studio, no two items will ever be exactly alike. I don't use mass-production moulds where everything looks identical. If you are worried about how a specific item—like a delicate fabric or a unique flower—will behave in resin, just ask me. I am always honest about what can be preserved and what might need a different approach.
