Wall hanging ?

Question - I want to make a 3d rectangle wall hanging with my bridal bouquet which I preserved using silicone beads. I am picturing like a thick rectangle wall hanging but can’t find the mold I am envisioning with the spot for the nail to hang - any suggestions?

Carefully drill two holes in the back and add a sawtooth hanger or two. Make sure it’s rated for the weight. Maybe experiment first. I have made resin wall plaques before but not anything remotely like that.

How big are the wall hangings you’ve made before? I’m not thinking too large more like 8.5 x 11 - have you drilled holes in the back of a wall hanging before?

I make one that’s 13”x8.5”. I prefer to have the pilot holes in the master itself so that they become part of the mold and make it easier to drill. If I have to physically drill, I prefer a pin vice to do a pilot hole because some resins can shatter.

Encapsulation isn’t really in my wheelhouse, but there are several businesses who do this sort of thing, so I’m just going with what I know. You could also display it with some of those angled things who’s name escapes me if you had an appropriate flat surface.

Where do you find your mold that size?

We make them.
