4. The “Pressed Flower” Resin Top
If you want something truly romantic and one-of-a-kind, why not turn your nightstand top into a piece of art? Pressed flowers preserved under a clear resin coat create a stunning, botanical look that feels custom-made for a feminine bedroom.
How to Make
Collect and press your favorite flowers (or buy them pre-pressed) in a heavy book for a week. Arrange them in a beautiful pattern on the top surface of the nightstand. Once you’re happy with the placement, pour a thin, level layer of clear casting resin over the top. Use a heat gun to pop any bubbles. Once it cures (usually 24 hours), the result is a glossy, durable, and completely unique surface that celebrates nature.
Things Needed
- Pressed flowers
- Clear casting resin
- Heat gun (to remove bubbles)
- Painter’s tape (to create a dam around the edge)
- Gloves and mixing cups
