In this creative DIY project, I experiment with casting delicate dandelion blooms into epoxy to make beautiful, unique LED lamps! ๐ฎ✨ Using a glass dome to showcase the glowing dandelions and a custom 3D-printed base to ensure the light shines through, we're experimenting throughout the entire process, from picking the perfect dandelions to the epoxy pour and assembly.
๐ก What you'll see in this video:
Picking dandelions at different stages (closed and fully bloomed)
Experimenting with various techniques to preserve their shape
Pouring epoxy into silicone molds for a crystal-clear finish
Designing and 3D printing a custom base that works perfectly with the LED light
Bringing everything together into a stunning illuminated lamp
๐ฌ Join me in the process of trial, error, and experimentation as I tackle the challenges of casting natural elements into resin, working with epoxy, and creating a unique lighting piece.
๐ง Tools & Materials Used:
Epoxy resin (Total Boat Thick Set Clear Casting Epoxy)
Silicone molds
LED light bases and glass domes
3D-printed translucent base
Hairspray for preserving dandelion blooms
Various techniques and tips for a clean pour
Watch the full journey as I take a simple dandelion and turn it into a gorgeous piece of functional art! ๐จ๐
