☘ Ingredients:
• open bezel pendants
• dried plants
• glitter
• board (any even surface)
• scotch tape

• epoxy resin
• silicone cups
• stir sticks (+ toothpicks and cotton swab if needed)
• tissues
• gloves (⚠️always wear gloves when working with resin)
• scales

0:00 intro;
0:08 Measure resin (component A) and hardener (component B) according to the instruction (NOTE: obligatorily read the instruction before work. Different compounds have different proportions). After mixing leave resin for some minutes (15-30) in order to let air bubbles come out.

0:15 Prepare working surface. Stick tape on the board sticky side up. Then place pendants on it. You can apply pressure so that the workpiece holds well and there are no areas for resin to leak through.

0:21 Choose plant elements, that you like the most. Put them in separate cup. We need to ensure that there will be no air in dried plants. If there are air bubbles help yourself with a toothpick to get rid of them.

0:31 Lay out plants into pendants. Also add glitter if you want to. You can add it to separate cup with small amount of resin as I did. But it's not necessary if you are not afraid to pour over glitter directly into the pendant.
Leave pendants till complete drying. (NOTE: always cover your work with a lid or something else to protect from dust)

0:46 After curing fill the rest of volume. Note that wood absorbs resin. So don't pour to much (as it happened in my case). Cotton swab will help you to remove excess.
Leave till complete drying.

0:59 Now you can form a dome. If your resin is too liquid either pour it very accurately, drop by drop, or leave it for some hours to the condition of honey (NOTE: the thickening time will also vary depending on how long your resin is fully cured).

1:08 Unstick pendants from tape. Remove excess with a knife. Handle the knife carefully. The cured resin comes off from the metal surface well. However, don't overdo it. You can also remove the coating from the pendant. Also remove residual glue from scotch tape. Then sand wooden pendants. You can start with coarse sandpaper, but finish with fine one. Coarse sandpaper leaves deep scratches. And if they are not covered, then (despite the fact that the resin fills in all the irregularities) they can still be visible.

1:34 Drill holes in wooden pieces. You can drill two holes opposite each other or one on top. (This step can be done later)

1:43 Form a dome on back side. And leave till complete curing (don't forget about protection from dust). I had to cover the wood blanks completely with resin because in some places the resin has spread all over the surface.

2:00 This is why the holes are best done later. In order not to remove resin stains from the front side.
And yes. Sometimes using scotch tape is not the best idea if you are working with clear resin. If the traces of glue are poorly cleaned, they can be seen as cloudy spots.
