Find a well - ventilated area and cover your work surface with a disposable tablecloth or newspaper to protect it from resin spills. Put on your gloves and mask.

Pour the appropriate amount of resin and hardener into a mixing cup according to the manufacturer's instructions. Usually, it's a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. Stir the mixture slowly and thoroughly for about 3 - 5 minutes to ensure a homogeneous blend. Be careful not to create too many bubbles.

If you want colored buttons, add a few drops of your chosen pigment or dye to the mixed resin and stir gently. If you're using inclusions, sprinkle them into the resin now. For example, if you're using dried flowers, place them carefully in the resin so they are evenly distributed.

Slowly pour the resin mixture into the button molds, filling them to the brim. Use a toothpick or a small stick to pop any remaining bubbles on the surface of the resin in the molds.

Leave the molds in a warm, dust - free place for the resin to cure. The curing time can vary depending on the type of resin, but it usually takes 24 - 48 hours.

Once the resin has fully cured, gently peel the silicone molds away from the buttons. If there are any rough edges, you can sand them down gently with fine - grit sandpaper.
