There Many Ways You Could Have Accessible Luxury
One of the popular crafts that seem to keep people busy for hours is preserved flower jewelery. It might take a long time but the end results are well worth the effort. The main ingredient is liquid resin which is easily available from hobby and craft stores. It usually comes in two different bottles that need to be mixed together and the end result is a glutinous liquid. This is something those seeking accessible luxury can really take advantage of.
One such company that will make these items is Shpangle Jewelery and they are located in Hinckley in the United Kingdom. Fortunately they have a website where one can place ones order or browse through their catalog. They have being trading for seven years and specialize in preserving different items and making them into timeless jewelery.
To preserve one will need to obtain liquid resin from any hobby or craft store. They will normally come in two bottles that when mixed together will form a thick liquid. A mold of some kind will be needed as well. Once this liquid is poured into the mold it will harden either slowly or quickly depending on the type sold at the store. If liquid resin cannot be obtained acrylic resin works just as well.
In order to dry the flowers before setting it in resin one will need to cut the leaves and excess stem off. In a small air tight container fill about an inch with a silica powder, it has the appearance of salt and is sometimes referred to as silica gel. Put the flower in the container and close the lid. Leave for about five days so that all the moisture can be removed. Alternatively one can place the flower in the container upside down and completely cover it, putting it inside a microwave for about 5 minutes.
Amber which is fossilized tree resin is also used in making jewelery as well as an ingredient in perfumes and a healing agent. It has a beautiful color and keeps its natural beauty. Many people preserve special keep sakes in this resin as it will last a life time and will never lose its color.
Another piece of jewelery that can be given to someone special is a stained glass picture, teardrop multi colored necklace and even brooches with butterflies or a personal memento inserted. They can be two toned or multi colored. Some people are even starting to preserve their favorite candy be it chocolate, jelly babies, liquorice or love hearts.
Fill the mold half full with the resin and quickly insert the flower. Use a toothpick to maneuver the petals into the resin and to help remove any air bubbles that will appear. Try to avoid too much handling of the flower. Fill the mold and set aside and allow hardening preferably over night.
Preserved flower jewelery can either be made in sterling silver or resin and because it is similar to glass it will magnify the object making it appear 3D. This will ensure that the natural beauty will be seen and the colors will never fade. Encased in the resin one can also leave a name and date or if preferred a special message for that special someone.
