• Hand-letter the word love onto the center of the tray. Let this dry fully before moving onto the next step
• Once your rose petals are fully dry, arrange them on your serving tray either randomly or in a lovely pattern of your choice.
• Glue all the pieces onto the tray to keep them from floating up in your resin. Also make sure to glue any holes or edges in the tray to keep the resin from seeping out.

Pouring the Resin

• To prepare the resin for pouring, mix equal amounts of resin and hardener in a measuring cup. Stir the two parts together for 2 minutes scraping the bottom and sides with the wooden stir stick.
• Pour the mixture into a second measuring cup and continue stirring for another minute.
• Carefully pour the resin into the serving tray being gentle while working over the petals.
• Ensure that all the contents on the tray are covered with resin. Cover and let this settle for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Blow off any bubbles that have risen to the surface of the resin using a kitchen torch or your breath through a straw.
• Check the resin several more times for additional bubbles. Blow them off. Cover the pieces and let the resin cure fully (72 hours for complete cure).
