Please note-- In this video I used an artifical silk rose. Many people have assumed it was real and have been dissappointed when they used an unprepared fresh flower. You can use a real flower in resin but only after it has been dried out. If you are trying to make this project with a real flower please watch my video called Making a valentines day/wedding bouquet/fresh flower keepsake- how to dry flowers and set in resin. It explains how to dry and seal the flower before using in a resin project such as this one. I know from the many messages that I recieve that many people have saved a rose from a wedding bouquet, valentines gift or other special occasion and used my video to make a wonderful keepsake. It makes me very happy to know that I am inspiring you.
So here's how I made this beautiful romantic rose pyramid lamp with epoxy resin. I used a silk rose and a set of LED copper fairy lights. (Update-A set of white micro light with clear cable and USB connector and remote control is the best thing to use I think now). It took several layers to complete, and the resin I used is quite slow to cure, but it was worth the wait. It came out crystal clear with no air bubbles at all. I have another video of how I prepare my resin as I don't show that here. For this project I actually used Epodex ultra clear pro+, but the preparation was just the same as in my resin preparation video (Using a warm water bath and blasting with a heat tool). Any deep casting resin is suitable for this pyramid
This is a full tutorial as I have filmed every step I took. To keep the video as short as I possible, I have sped up the footage wherever I could.
It was quite tricky getting the copper wire lights where I wanted them to go, The wire has a mind of it's own! The lights are LED with a USB power supply. They have 8 different cycles and a timer ,You can also turn the brightness up or down. It' the first time I have used these In a pyramid and I think they work wonderfully.
I really hope you enjoy watching and If you like the video please leave me a comment. Thank you.
