Top 7 Surprising Things You Can Preserve in Resin
Introduction
In today’s world of handmade crafts and sentimental keepsakes, resin has quietly become the artist’s secret weapon. But while most people know about resin jewelry or coasters with glitter, there’s a more personal side to it—preserving real-life memories.
1. Flowers & Leaves – Pressed, Preserved, and Cherished:
Dried flowers and foliage are more than just decor—they carry memories. Resin allows you to keep those memories intact. Imagine turning a pressed bougainvillea petal from your Sector-10 garden into a pendant, or sealing the autumn colors of Shivalik leaves into a wall clock. These creations become timeless.
2. Handwritten Notes, Cards & Paper Bits:
Old birthday cards, scraps with your parent’s handwriting, or even school doodles—these paper pieces often stay hidden in drawers. Resin lets you bring them out in the open. Seal them into bookmarks, trays, or even keychains. Think of turning your grandparent’s signature into a forever pendant—priceless, right?
3. Small Keepsakes with Big Meaning:
Ever saved that tiny shell from a beach trip or a bead from your childhood bracelet? These little things mean a lot, yet we lose them over time. Resin lets you embed them into blocks, memory frames, or jewelry. Each item becomes a snapshot of a story—a moment you don’t want to forget.
4. Pet Fur, Whiskers, or Tags:
Losing a pet is never easy. Many of our local artists in Chandigarh have begun offering custom resin keepsakes with pet fur or tags. A pendant containing a single whisker or a keychain with their name tag preserved in resin—these can bring comfort and connection long after they're gone.
5. Wedding or Celebration Petals:
After the event is over, what remains? Photos and maybe a few petals. Why not preserve those blooms forever? Resin is ideal for locking in the colors and shapes of your wedding garlands, engagement roses, or farewell marigolds. It’s a perfect way to carry your most meaningful memories.
6. Drawings by Your Child:
That first drawing your child proudly gave you? Or the little stick figures from their nursery days? You can turn them into coasters, magnets, or frames using resin. It’s a fun, practical way to hold on to those childhood moments—and even gift them as keepsakes to family.
7. Bits of Nature:
Chandigarh folks love nature—so why not turn feathers, seed pods, or dried insects into something artful? Even coffee beans or dried spices can be sealed in resin for fun, quirky keychains or paperweights. Just ensure everything’s properly dried before embedding, and you’ve got a conversation starter on your hands.
