- 3D flower coasters use alcohol ink and resin pigment paste to create a design that "blooms" into a flower as the resin cures. Popular with crafters and hobby artists, resin flower coasters are a fun and easy project with impressive results! 3D floral resin coasters are a great way for beginners to get started with epoxy resin and a chance for more advanced artists to expand their resin skills.
Artist Elena Gribanova from Allure Decoration has mastered the technique of 3D resin flowers and is here to explain how it's done. Follow Elena's step-by-step techniques to learn the basics and then change up the color palette and petal shape to create your very own custom look!

They are VERY BEAUTIFUL, and I can't wait to try this technique for myself. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH EVERYONE!!😁😁😁
Thanks for taking the time to watch! We are very grateful to Elena for sharing her talents and her methods with us :)
Love it, thank you for sharing this wonderful work with us.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for the opportunity!
Thank YOU! 😊
I LOVE these!!! Thank you SO much for this tutorial. I'm pretty new to resin, butbI feel the overwhelming need to do a coaster from your inspiration! Tyvm, Elena!
Have fun!!
Very beautiful
Очень красиво! 😍
Супер спасибо большое за урок ❤🌺
Good jop thanks
They are very beautiful. I love how you did not wipe the stick clean as you were doing the shaping. Also thanks for the tip on the importance of how you fill the molds at the start.
Question? Is there a way to stop the blobs? Thank you for this tutorial
We are happy that you enjoyed this tutorial, thanks for watching. The blobs are just extra colourant, so try controlling the amount you are adding and see if that can help. :)

I have seen a video where if a person uses alcohol inks, the color and shades change after a few weeks! Have you noticed this? I want to try some with alcohol inks but I am hesitant to if it doesn’t stay the same vibrant color as it starts out with!
So I didn’t see that he had a newer video with your alcohol inks and they did NOT fade in the resin over time! I’m so excited, to try things with your alcohol inks!
Alcohol inks vary greatly in intensity from brand to brand. Some will change color when they are dropped into resin. Others can fade very quickly. Ours are highly saturated and provide an intense color and won't change when it drops into resin. It has a lightfast rating between 4-6 which is very good.
All alcohol ink is dye based ( as opposed to a pigment based colorant like ResinTint ) so you'll want to keep it out of direct sunlight to help prevent fading.

Hello I followed to the letter what you demonstrate. Why when I unmold my flower is pleinde white spot. Yet I see the flower on top. Could you please advise me.
Para agregar la resina blanca, hay que esperar unos minutos? porque lo hago tal cual a usted y el blanco se me va al fondo y me ocupa todo. La flor no me queda :(
how do you clean the mixing bowl and spatula? Does it come off with soap and water also is it safe to go in the sink?
You can wipe any remaining resin out with paper towels then spritz with isopropyl alcohol to remove any sticky residue. Once you have removed all of the resin and hardener, you can wash with warm soapy water, but never allow your resin or hardener to be washed down the drain. Alternately, you can let your resin cure then pull it out of your cup once its cured, this works best with flexible plastics rather than hard brittle plastic cups. For more information, have a look at our blog :

These are beautiful! What sett is best for the heat gun? Thank you!
You can just experiment as all guns are a bit different. For bubble removal high heat is best
How long we should wait before adding next coat . I tried n the colors started to mix with each other
It really depends on feel and your desired effect. Room temperature and resin temperature will affect its viscosity, so you will have to keep experimenting with your timing to achieve the desired viscosity that works for you :)
What kind of white pigment did you use?
This project used Alcohol Ink. Here is a link: www.artresin.com/products/artresin-alcohol-ink
what is the best way to warm the resin? in the microwave or hot water?
We prefer using a warm water bath to warm up your resin and hardener before mixing. The warm water bath gently heats the resin and won't cause the hot spots that a microwave can.
Are there any matter additive for resin?
Hi Chrissie, what do you mean by "matter"?
What kind of resin pigment are you using ?! Does it matter ?
Elena used alcohol ink and white pigment paste. You can find a complete list of the supplies needed in our blog, the link is in the description, but I will post it here:

Очень мило, спасибо за урок, но я не поняла как получились белые капли?? Кто ни будь подскажите🥺
Ink Sinker is unique because it's heavier than most. This means that it has the ability to drive the alcohol ink down into the resin.
Can I use art resin to preserve my wedding bouquet? I have dried it with silica gel and researching what kind of resin I should use. I see a lot of casting resin preserving in a mold. I see art resin is designed to anti-yellow and cures crystal clear.
In this video, Elena is using shallow molds and pressed dried flowers so she can pour it all in one layer. In deep molds, we would recommend pouring ArtResin in multiple shallow layers of less than 1/4" each to help reduce bubbles and prevent too much heat. You can add your next layer once the previous layer has cured for 3-5 hours. If you want to pour all at once in a deeper mold, you will need to use a casting resin instead.
I am intrested for tutorial
Hope you enjoyed the video! ❤
One of the first and most important lessons I learned, was to wear a mask. While the flowers were nice, I feel like a company, that promotes safety, should stand behind their safety requirements.
I’ve used art resin. It may say low viscosity, it’s stinks. No offense, I still have it in my inventory.
Just saying , “Practice what you preach “.
We absolutely agree, following guidelines for safety is an absolute MUST. We are happy to assure you that ArtResin is safe for home use without a respirator, we just recommend using it in a well ventilated area rather than closed off in a small closet. ArtResin is non toxic and it does not produce fumes or VOCs so it doesn't pose the same health hazards as many of the highly toxic epoxy resins available. Always wear gloves to protect your skin as all epoxy resins are a known skin irritant, besides that--it is super sticky and messy so gloves help minimize the mess. Please have a look at our blog for more information:

I absolutely agree! I am using PPE all the time then I work with resin, but for the purpose of the tutorial and clear sound I was was not using my respirator. It is essential to protect yourself!
@@alenushkag73 It is important to always educate yourself and do your research on the safety requirements for the brand you are using, and we feel it is equally important to always work within your own comfort zone and take extra precautions if you wish. We want artists to get joy from creating and feeling safe while doing it :)
@@Artresin Im very confused now. On your site you mention that your product is only non toxic when you don't add third party products to the resin, and you explicitly state that adding alcohol inks introduces a solvent to the resin and that it may not be non toxic in this instance. Yet here you are stating that artresin is safe to use without a respirator in a ventilated area and not mentioning alcohol inks and those solvents at all, and the lovely woman in the video is not using a respirator either.
So is it safe to use alcohol inks in your resin without a respirator or is it still hazardous?
@@athae_shoots Alcohol ink is a solvent and when speaking of ArtResin being safe for food contact for instance, we would advise you to apply a clear coat over the coloured layer that contains alcohol ink as the ink is not safe for food contact. The clear coat would ensure that the surface that comes into contact with the food is in fact safe. When dropping alcohol ink into resin as a colourant typically we are speaking of a drop or two of alcohol ink, not large amounts. Much like you could use rubbing alcohol to remove the sticky residue from a surface in your home, or use a cotton ball saturated with alcohol to clean a wound, you would not be breathing in enough of the vapour to have an adverse effect. With that said, we always recommend working in a well ventilated area and if wearing a respirator makes you more comfortable then to do so.
Why are these people not wearing respirators! I've seen so many and they are amazing tutorials but why no mask
Hi Ana, ArtResin is non-toxic and does not produce fumes or VOCs. ArtResin has been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and has been designated non-toxic when used as directed and safe for home use in a well ventilated area! When used in a well ventilated area, a respirator is not required, however you can always work within your comfort zone and wear one if you wish. Have a look at our blog:

Why don't you wear a mask when working with resin?
We are happy to share that when used as directed, ArtResin is non toxic and does not produce fumes or VOCs.
