How would I go about to make a real leaf bracelet. How would I get the resin on the leaf without it falling apart or getting brown before being able to do the other side? Also, how could I make it in a solid round bangle form with the leaves in it?

Hi Robin,
You can use a doming resin to paint the leaf with the resin. I would suggest doing one side, allow to cure, then do the other side. If you want to use them in a bracelet mold, I would suggest cutting the leaves to fit the mold first. It will be harder to cut them once they have been coated with resin.
On a side note, make sure your leaf is dry first. For example, you can put it between the pages of a thick book for several days to get it to dry flat. Resin hates moisture!

Thank you! I searched the resins and none of them had that they were doming in their descriptions. Which resin is the doming resin. Maybe I am missing it but I could not find it. Thanks for your help!

Hi Robin,
For the purpose of covering the leaf, I would go with the Resin Obsession crystal doming reisn. https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/resin-obsession-crystal-doming-resin Its going to coat on very thick and will make the leaves very glossy.
