I have dried rose buds that I had hung and sprayed with hairspray and dried and another I hung to dry naturally. I'd like to put them in resin as to keep them forever. They are from funerals. Any tips or things I should take into caution as to not destroy my sentimental pieces while casting into a mold. Also best products and brands to use with what I'm wanting. I used to separate some petals but with these unfortunately I did not. I have a dilemma, please help!

I'm not sure how this will turn out if flowers have lost their color but maybe that will not matter in this case.
This link is excellent because it explains every step - especially that resin is used in two parts and how critical it is to follow each step exactly as stated on the container.

There are so many YouTube tutorials online that it would be a waste of time to post several - Google YouTube with your question please and pick the one that sounds interesting.
If this is your first time doing this here are some suggestions:
Mainly, make a list of everything you need as you will need to have all of your necessary items in front of you before you begin. You should also clear a working space that does not have to be 'cleaned up' for maybe 24 hours (necessary for drying time).
Some good info here:

There are many tutorials on the internet. I think this one is particularly good. acrylgiessen.com/
This can be done with fresh and dried flowers. You may have to be more careful with the dried ones , so they do not crumble. There are a lot of links on how to, but I like this link - www.instructables.com/
There is a great instruction how to embed flowers in resin (dried/fresh flowers)
