Preserving memories. Creating something extraordinary.
Some memories deserve more than a photograph or a place in a drawer.
Whether it’s a champagne cork from your wedding day, a piece of turf from your favourite football stadium, a treasured collection of music memorabilia or flowers from a special occasion, meaningful objects often tell stories that deserve to be preserved.
At Really Resin, we specialise in transforming sentimental items and unusual objects into beautiful, handcrafted resin creations. Explore our bespoke resin commissions for examples of our work.
While we’re well known for our wedding and funeral flower preservation services, our expertise extends far beyond flowers.
From personalised keepsakes and decorative artwork to bespoke furniture and specialist commercial projects, we work with individuals and businesses to bring unique ideas to life.
In this guide, we’ll explore what’s possible with bespoke resin, the types of objects that can be preserved and how our custom commission process works.
What Is a Bespoke Resin Commission?
A bespoke resin commission is a piece created specifically around your ideas, requirements and meaningful objects.
Unlike ready-made products, bespoke commissions are individually designed, allowing you to choose elements such as the size, shape, arrangement and overall appearance.
Epoxy resin is a versatile material that can be used to encapsulate suitable objects within a clear, solid form.
This creates the appearance of items being suspended inside the resin, allowing them to be displayed from different angles.
Depending on the design, resin can be used to create:
Decorative display blocks and sculptures
Sentimental keepsakes
Wall-mounted artwork
Custom furniture and tabletops
Personalised gifts
Sporting memorabilia displays
Commercial presentation pieces
Unique commemorative items
Every project begins with an idea, and part of our work is exploring how that idea can become a finished piece.
What Can Be Preserved in Resin?
One of the most exciting aspects of bespoke resin work is the variety of objects that can potentially be incorporated.
However, not every material behaves in the same way.
Some objects require drying, sealing, stabilisation or specialist preparation before they can safely be embedded.
At Really Resin, we assess each project individually to determine the most suitable approach.
1. Sporting Memorabilia and Football Stadium Turf
For many supporters, football is more than a sport. It’s part of their personal history.
A piece of turf from a memorable match, a significant stadium or a special sporting occasion can hold enormous sentimental value.
Preserving sporting memorabilia in resin offers a way to create a permanent display piece.
At Really Resin, we have experience working with football stadium turf and developing bespoke sporting memorabilia projects.
Depending on the requirements, suitable turf can potentially be incorporated into:
Clear resin display cubes
Decorative presentation blocks
Commemorative keepsakes
Personalised keyrings
Specialist display pieces
Natural turf presents particular technical challenges.
Moisture, soil, trapped air and changes in colour must all be considered before encapsulation.
Our approach involves assessing the material, preparing it appropriately and developing a casting method suited to the intended design.
For commercial projects or unusual materials, prototype development may be necessary before full production.
2. Champagne Corks and Special Occasion Keepsakes
Sometimes the smallest objects hold the biggest memories.
A champagne cork from a wedding, engagement, anniversary or special celebration may seem ordinary to someone else, but to you it represents an unforgettable moment.
Rather than leaving it tucked away in a drawer, a cork can become the centrepiece of a custom resin keepsake.
Possible designs include:
Clear resin display cubes
Decorative paperweights
Personalised presentation blocks
Anniversary keepsakes
Wedding memorabilia displays
The size and shape of the finished piece can be tailored to complement the object.
For customers who prefer a minimalist appearance, we can explore designs that place the cork at the centre of a clear resin block.
3. CDs, Music Memorabilia and Personal Collections
Music has a unique ability to connect us with particular moments in our lives.
Albums, CDs and other music memorabilia can represent favourite artists, important relationships and treasured memories.
At Really Resin, we can explore bespoke wall art and decorative displays incorporating suitable music-related items.
Rather than simply storing a collection, a custom display can transform it into a feature within your home.
Depending on the project, designs may include:
Large wall-mounted artwork
Resin-coated display panels
Geometric arrangements
Personalised decorative pieces
Mixed-material artwork
Projects involving CDs, printed artwork or delicate surfaces require careful preparation.
Some materials may react to resin or require protective sealing, so we assess the suitability of each component before proceeding.
4. Bespoke Resin Furniture and Tables
Resin isn’t limited to small keepsakes.
It can also be used to create striking pieces of functional furniture.
At Really Resin, we offer bespoke furniture commissions, including designs incorporating preserved flowers and other suitable decorative materials.
Popular ideas include:
Resin side tables
A beautiful way to display meaningful flowers or decorative objects within a functional piece of furniture.
Custom resin tabletops
Larger surfaces can provide space for creative arrangements and personalised designs.
Flower preservation tables
Wedding flowers or other sentimental arrangements can become the centrepiece of a unique table.
Decorative furniture commissions
We can explore different shapes, dimensions, finishes and leg styles to complement your home.
Because furniture projects vary considerably in size and complexity, each commission is individually assessed and quoted.
5. Wedding and Funeral Flower Preservation
Flowers remain one of the most meaningful materials we work with.
Wedding bouquets, funeral arrangements and flowers from special occasions often represent moments that cannot be recreated.
Through professional drying and resin preservation, selected flowers can be transformed into lasting keepsakes.
Our flower preservation range includes:
Resin hearts
Decorative blocks
Photo frames
Jewellery
Bookends
Bespoke furniture
Personalised memorial pieces
We also welcome enquiries about unusual arrangements and larger custom designs.
Flower drying is included free of charge as part of our flower preservation service.
6. Unusual Objects and Sentimental Memorabilia
Not every idea fits neatly into an existing product category.
Perhaps you have an object that represents a special memory, a family heirloom you’d like to display or something unusual that you want to incorporate into artwork.
We welcome enquiries about a wide variety of objects and materials.
Examples of potential projects include:
Small sentimental possessions
Personal mementoes
Commemorative objects
Decorative collections
Natural materials
Special occasion memorabilia
Custom presentation pieces
The possibilities depend on the object’s size, condition, composition and suitability for resin encapsulation.
Some materials may not be suitable for direct casting, but alternative display or construction methods may be possible.
If you have an idea, we’d be happy to explore it with you.
How Does the Bespoke Resin Commission Process Work?
Every bespoke project is different, but our approach follows a straightforward process.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Idea
The first step is getting in touch.
You don’t need to have a complete design or know exactly how resin casting works.
Simply explain what you’d like to create.
If possible, send us photographs of the objects you want to preserve, along with any examples of designs you like.
Step 2: Assessing the Materials
Before confirming a design, we consider the materials involved.
Different objects may require different preparation techniques.
We assess factors such as:
Moisture content
Material stability
Potential discolouration
Air entrapment
Surface compatibility
Object dimensions
Suitable resin systems
For more technically challenging projects, we may recommend preliminary testing.
Step 3: Design and Quotation
Once we understand your requirements, we can discuss the available design options.
These may include the dimensions, shape, arrangement, finish and any additional features.
We’ll then provide a quotation based on the agreed scope of work.
For complex commissions, prototype development and testing may be quoted separately.
Step 4: Preparation and Production
Once the design has been agreed, we begin preparing the materials and creating your piece.
Depending on the project, production may involve:
Drying and stabilising materials
Preparing moulds
Sealing delicate objects
Arranging components
Resin casting
Multiple curing stages
Sanding and polishing
Final finishing
Each stage requires care and attention to achieve the intended result.
Step 5: Finishing and Delivery
Once your commission is complete, we’ll inspect and prepare it for collection or delivery.
Really Resin is based in Liverpool, and we work with customers throughout the UK.
Delivery arrangements depend on the size, weight and nature of the finished piece.
How Much Does a Bespoke Resin Commission Cost?
The price of a bespoke resin commission depends on several factors.
Unlike standard products, custom commissions often require individual design work, specialist preparation and additional production time.
The main factors affecting cost include:
Size and resin volume
Larger pieces require more resin and may involve longer curing and finishing processes.
Material preparation
Some objects need drying, cleaning, sealing or stabilisation before they can be incorporated.
Design complexity
Detailed arrangements, suspended objects and unusual shapes can require additional work.
Mould requirements
Certain projects may need specialist or custom-made moulds.
Finishing requirements
Larger surfaces and complex shapes may require extensive sanding and polishing.
Testing and development
Unusual materials or commercial projects may require prototypes before a final design can be confirmed.
We provide personalised quotations so customers understand the proposed work and associated costs before proceeding.
Bespoke Resin Projects for Businesses
Alongside personal keepsakes, Really Resin welcomes enquiries from businesses and organisations seeking specialist resin work.
Potential applications include:
Promotional display pieces
Commemorative awards
Corporate presentation gifts
Sporting memorabilia
Product display concepts
Prototype development
Specialist encapsulation projects
Some projects may involve materials that require testing to establish whether the intended appearance and finish can be achieved.
For these commissions, we can discuss an initial development stage to assess technical feasibility.
We understand that commercial projects may involve confidential designs, unique materials or intellectual property.
Confidentiality requirements can be discussed before project details are shared.
Can Any Object Be Encapsulated in Resin?
Although resin is extremely versatile, not every object is suitable for direct encapsulation.
Certain materials can react with resin, release trapped air, change colour or deteriorate over time.
Organic materials, in particular, often require specialist preparation.
Large objects may also present challenges relating to resin volume, heat generation and curing.
This is why we assess unusual commissions before agreeing to production.
In some cases, we may recommend an alternative construction method or a different type of display.
Our aim is to create a piece that looks beautiful while being technically suitable for the materials involved.
