✂️ Step-by-Step Tutorial
🌼 Step 1: Arrange the Flowers

Use tweezers to position them exactly how you want.

💧 Step 2: Pour the Resin
Mix the resin and hardener according to the instructions.
Slowly pour a thin layer over the flowers, making sure they are fully covered.
👉 Pro Tip: Pour gently to prevent bubbles.
If bubbles appear, pop them carefully with a toothpick.
Let it cure completely (usually 12–24 hours).
🎀 Step 3: Add the Tassel
Once fully hardened, attach a tassel through the bookmark hole.
Choose colors that complement your flowers — soft pastels, earthy tones, or bold contrasts.
And just like that — your bookmark is ready!
