Nature is one of the most popular themes in resin art. A leaf silicone mould, a seashell or a little palm tree gives you pieces that look like they belong at the beach or in a garden. This Haanz Art Guide covers the nature and decorative moulds we stock and how to colour them so they look natural.

Moulds we stock

All are flexible, reusable silicone moulds. Check each product’s photos for exact shapes and sizes.

Colouring for a natural look

Leaves: clear resin tinted with a little green alcohol ink, plus a touch of gold mica on the veins after demoulding.
Shells: white mica resin with a pearly finish; brush a little pink or peach on the edges.
Palm trees: brown for the trunk and green for the leaves. Pour the trunk first, let it gel, then pour the leaves.
Island: sand-coloured resin with a green top and blue resin around it for water.
Roses: pastel pinks, reds and white, or gold for a luxurious look.

See How to Colour Resin for mica, ink and pigment tips.

Pouring two colours in one piece

Many nature shapes look better with two colours:

Pour the first colour into one part of the mould (for example the trunk).
Wait until it thickens slightly but is still a little sticky.
Pour the second colour into the next part. The colours join without mixing too much.
Cure fully before demoulding.

Project ideas

Beach diorama: an island piece on a blue resin “sea” in a tray mould, with palm trees and shells.
Leaf coasters: a set of green leaf pieces with gold edges.
Seashell box topper: glue a pearly shell onto a resin or wooden box lid.
Rose gift toppers: tie a small resin rose onto gift wrapping instead of a bow.
Fridge magnets: glue a magnet to the back of doughnuts, shells or roses.

Caring for silicone moulds

Silicone moulds last a long time if you look after them:

Demould gently by flexing the silicone. Don’t pull pieces out with tools.
Wipe moulds clean with a soft cloth or tape to lift dust. Don’t scrub with anything rough, or the shiny finish of future pieces will suffer.
Store moulds flat, out of sunlight, and don’t stack heavy things on top, so they keep their shape.
Keep a separate set of moulds for resin only. Food and resin should never share moulds.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use air-dry clay or plaster in these moulds?

Silicone moulds can be used with many craft materials. Use a separate mould for each material, and test first.

Why are my leaf veins hard to see?

Fine details show better with slightly tinted or pearly resin than with completely clear resin. Brushing a little mica on the surface after demoulding also highlights veins.
