For this project I'm using my usual epoxy art resin, which has a 2A:1B mix ratio by weight
Mix slowly but thoroughly to avoid introducing air bubbles
These are 40mm and 50mm silicone cube moulds off eBay
I'm making a base to hold my flowers by pouring about 5mm of resin into the smaller mould
These foam flowers were sold in my local craft store
They look great as they are, but will look even better with a bit of iridescent glitter
You can use any adhesive that dries clear, such as Mod Podge
Use the same adhesive to coat the stems if they're wrapped in paper like mine are
After the resin base has fully cured you can remove it from the mould
I'm using the grid lines on my cutting mat to mark the positions of 8 holes where I want to attach the flowers
The drill bit is slightly larger than the flower stem
Trim the stems so the overall length of the flower is about 45mm
Attach the flowers to the base using a tiny dab of UV resin to secure them in place
Because I'm using art resin, I need to fill my cube in layers. Really I should have done 4, but I just got away with doing 3.
Pour a little resin into the 50mm mould to begin, then add the flowers
Get them bubbles!
Press the base down into the resin
Top it up to the maximum pour depth for your resin. Mine is 10mm but I poured about 20mm, and although it got very hot, it didn't boil :)
When each layer has cured firm, you can pour the next
Allow the top layer to dome a little to allow for shrinkage
After 24 hours the cube is ready to remove from the mould - I call this part the knuckle slicer...
Those top edges can be REALLY sharp
This is normally where my cube videos end, but this time we'll do something a little different...
Reminds me of the dentist...
These wire photo clips are on Amazon and eBay, or you could make your own from 1mm wire
Secure it in the drilled hole with a little superglue
