How to Make Flowers Jewellery: Crafting Floral Elegance at Home

Why Flower Jewellery? Because Nature Wears Glamour Too!

Let’s be real — flowers aren’t just for gardens and Instagram selfies. They belong dangling delicately from your ears, sparkling on your fingers, and brightening your neck. Flower jewellery is timeless, endlessly versatile, and for those who want a touch of Mother Nature’s charm captured in wearable art.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast eager to try your hands at creating unique floral pieces or someone who appreciates handmade adornments, this guide on how to make flowers jewellery dives deep into popular methods you can explore at home.

1. Resin Flower Jewellery: Preserving Blossoms in Crystal Clear Magic

One of the most eye-catching ways to make flower jewellery is by embedding dried or pressed flowers inside resin. This technique perfectly seals nature’s delicate details forever, turning fleeting petals into everlasting keepsakes.

Materials You’ll Need:

  • Clear epoxy or UV resin
  • Hardener (for epoxy resin)
  • Silicone moulds or jewellery bezel trays
  • Dried, pressed flowers (make sure they’re fully dried to avoid discoloration)
  • Mixing cups, stirring sticks
  • Protective gloves and respirator mask (safety first!)
  • Jump rings, chains, earring hooks or pin backs for finishing

Step-by-Step Making:

  1. Mix resin and hardener in equal parts according to package instructions.
  2. Pour a thin layer of resin into your mould or bezel tray.
  3. Place the dried flower carefully on top using tweezers.
  4. Pour another resin layer to cover the flower completely.
  5. Remove bubbles gently using a small torch or lighter flame.
  6. Allow the resin to cure: 24 hours for epoxy or a few minutes under a UV lamp depending on resin type.
  7. Attach jump rings, chains, or earring hooks to complete your piece.

2. Wire-Wrapped Flower Jewellery: Twist, Loop, and Bloom

Want flower jewellery that’s a little edgy but still delicate? Wire wrapping is your go-to technique. Using floral or craft wire, you shape realistic flower petals and stems, sometimes adding bead centers to jazz it up.

What You Need:

  • Floral or craft wire (22–26 gauge works well)
  • Jewellery pliers (round nose, chain nose, and wire cutters)
  • Beads or stones for flower centers (optional)
  • Floral adhesive (optional for securing joints)

How to Shape Wire Flowers:

  1. Cut wire length and form loops for petals using round-nose pliers.
  2. Twist wire tightly at petal base to hold shape.
  3. Add beads in the center for a pop of color and texture.
  4. Arrange petals symmetrically and secure by wrapping the wire around the stem.
  5. Finish by making loops or attaching findings to turn your flower into earrings, pendants, or brooches.

This wirework technique requires no soldering, perfect for beginners who want elegant floral forms quickly. For a more artisan approach, check the floral wire guide at Oasis Floral Products.

3. Metal Flower Jewellery: For the Fearless Flower Fanatic

If you like flower jewellery with a serious wow factor, metalwork is the champ. Using thin metal sheets—such as sterling silver—you can cut, fold, and layer petals, then solder them together to create stunning floral art pieces.

Tools and Materials:

  • Thin metal sheets (sterling silver, copper, or brass)
  • Jewellery saw and metal shears
  • Files and sandpapers
  • Soldering torch and flux
  • Ring mandrel or shaping tools
  • Safety equipment (goggles, gloves)

Basic Metal Flower Steps:

  1. Cut petal shapes from metal sheets.
  2. Form and texture petals by folding or hammering.
  3. Layer petals offset then solder them to build flower shape.
  4. Create stems or rings by shaping wire or sheet metals.
  5. Polish and finish for that professional shine.

4. Fun Alternatives: Paper Flowers & Mixed Media Floral Jewellery

Don’t underestimate paper and other lightweight materials in jewellery making. Origami flowers, layered leather petals, or broken china shards softened with soldering can make stunning floral pieces with just the right touch of whimsy.

Pair these with beads, chains, enamel, or resin to boost their durability and charm.
