1. 1.First dry your flowers – they must be dry to stop the moisture in the flowers creating pockets of mould. Dry flowers on a piece of paper towel by a sunny window. Avoid fleshy flowers like camellias and roses. 
2. 2.Before you mix the resin and hardener, set up a workspace outside in a well-ventilated area. Put on your gloves, mask and eye protection, and wear old clothes or an apron. Your mixing jug and measures can’t be reused for food.
3. 3.Work out the capacity of your mould to know how much resin to mix – you can do this by filling it with water and measuring but everything must be completely dry again before using to make the decorations. The mould Tammy is using holds 50ml. 
4. 4.Assemble your flowers in the base of the mould. 
5. 5.Follow the resin kit instructions regarding the ratio of resin to hardener. Mix resin and hardener in a jug (see above) and stir slowly to combine. If you stir too fast, you can create air bubbles. 
6. 6.Slowly pour the resin over the flowers in the mould. You may need to use your stirring stick to submerge the flowers, as they sometimes float to the top. 
7. 7.If you do have bubbles, use alcohol spray to gently spray the surface. 
8. 8.Leave your coaster or other decoration for about 24 hours to set.
9. 9.When hard, it can be removed from its mould.
