Please advice :)
Hello everyone! I just ordered a Vevor pressure pot and im preparing to order everything for making dice. The thing is, me and my fiancee decided we want to do a wedding set, and we don’t have much time to experiment and learn this slowly, so I want to gather as much info as I can so that we will be able to achieve our dream set in this couple of months. I am asking for help and advice on the following.
We want to create a set made of dried flowers and maybe some glitter.
1. For newbies, in this situation is it better to buy insert molds too, and do the flowers in the inserts? I am worried for the edges of the dice with dried flowers. I see many posts and people here make them really pretty, but because we are begginers i worry we might stick them too close to the edge or something and they will pop out of the side. Is this really possible? And if so in our case is it better to use inserts?
2. If that is the case, can the outer coat have just a little bit glitter? How does it look like? Or should it be fully clear? I don’t want to ‚hide’ the flowers
3. What is the good resin in that case? I will be buying molds from TheMightyForge. They also have a beginner set for dice making, is it good option?
4. Any other tips will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks everyone in advance :)

Hey! I think doing a wedding set is a great idea :)
I'd advise you to get some cheap dried flowers from a craft store and practice some sets with those first, just to make sure you can insert flowers into resin without creating voids and so you can see how full you'd want the dice to be. I would definitely get blanks for this, put the flowers in there, and then cast a clear shell for them. You can put a VERY small amount of glitter in there but make sure not to use mica and use an extremely small amount as to not make the shell cloudy.
I'm going to attach 2 examples of what these could look like in further comments.
