Here's How It Works

Step 1:

Receive your DIY Kit, beautifully packed and ready to go

Step 2:

Prepare your flowers by removing their stems, and unpack the vacuum-sealed Silica Gel provided in the kit

Step 3:

Place your flowers gently in the Silica Gel. Each box of Silica Gel can dry up to 6 large roses.

Step 4:

Completely cover your flowers with Silica Gel, to ensure they can dry fully

Step 5:

In 5-7 days, or when the Silica Gel turns pink, remove your dried flowers from Silica Gel

Step 6:

Get creative with your freshly dried flowers, and style them for your coasters

Step 7:

Mix the A:B Resin in the proportions stated in our instructional guide

Step 8:

Carefully cast your designs in Resin, and let the resin fully cure overnight

Step 9:

Sand off any sharp edges, and make use of your fully functional, handmade art piece!

Not interested in making coasters?

Our Bouquet Preservation DIY Kit is fully equipped and guided for making resin coasters. However, if you need to preserve your flowers for another preservation project, you can simply dry your flowers with Silica Gel.

The Summer Alcove’s Silica Gel is formulated specially for drying flowers – it quickly removes moisture from flowers without damage, helping them retain their natural shape, colour, and delicate details.

Unlike traditional air-drying or generic Silica Gel beads, Silica Gel for Flower Preservervation works faster and reduces the risk of wilting, browning, or damaging petals.
