I once gifted a plain resin vase, only to realize it lacked personality. Now, I know how to make resin vases truly one-of-a-kind.

Customize resin vases with engravings, embedded items, or unique colors. Use UV resin for small details, and choose matte or glossy finishes to match your style.

Let’s make your vase unforgettable.

What options are there for adding personal touches?

I’ve turned boring vases into cherished keepsakes by adding personal flair. Here’s how you can do it too.

Embed photos, dried flowers, or glitter. Use silicone molds for unique shapes, or add handwritten notes with UV resin for a sentimental touch.

My Favorite Personalization Hacks

Last year, I made a vase for my best friend’s wedding. Here’s what I learned:

The trick? Plan your design before pouring resin. I sketch layouts on paper to avoid mistakes. For embedded items¹, pour a thin resin layer first², let it set slightly, then add your elements. This prevents them from sinking or floating.

How do engraving and embossing work on resin?

I ruined my first attempt at engraving by pressing too hard. Now, I use these foolproof methods³.

Use a Dremel for precise engravings or silicone stamps for embossing. Always practice on scrap resin first to perfect your technique.

Tools That Saved My Projects

Here’s my go-to kit for adding texture:

• Dremel with diamond tips: Perfect for names or intricate patterns
• Silicone stamps: Great for floral or geometric designs
• Heat gun: Softens resin slightly for easier embossing

Last month, I engraved a vase with my niece’s name. I used a stencil and low-speed settings⁴ to avoid cracking. For embossing, I press stamps gently and hold for 10 seconds. Pro tip: Sand the surface lightly before engraving for smoother results.

What color and finish options are available?

I used to stick to clear resin until I discovered the magic of colors and finishes. Now, my vases are anything but ordinary.

Mix resin dyes for solid colors or alcohol inks for marbled effects. Choose matte, glossy, or satin finishes to suit your decor.

My Color Experiments

Here’s how I create stunning finishes:

For a matte finish, I use a matte spray sealant. Glossy finishes? Just polish with a soft cloth. My favorite combo? Marbled blues with a satin finish⁵—it looks like ocean waves.

How does the ordering process work for custom resin vases?

I’ve ordered custom vases⁶ for clients and learned what makes the process smooth.

Share your design ideas, choose materials, and confirm timelines. Always request a mockup or sample before finalizing.

Steps to a Stress-Free Order

Here’s how I ensure my custom orders turn out perfect:

1. Send inspiration photos: Helps the artist understand your vision
2. Discuss budget upfront: Avoids surprises later
3. Ask for progress updates: Ensures you’re on the same page

Last Christmas, I ordered a vase with embedded snowflakes. I sent a sketch and requested a sample of the glitter mix⁷. The result? A stunning piece⁸ that looked exactly how I imagined.

Conclusion

Custom resin vases are more than decor—they’re stories waiting to be told.
