This month’s subscription box is all about taking your resin dip flowers to the next level — with leaves.

I’ll be honest with you: I’ve never loved making leaves. Once the flowers are done and looking lovely, the thought of starting again with a new set of wire shapes and colours can feel like a chore. Flowers are the stars of the show, after all — vibrant, eye-catching, and full of personality. Leaves? I just don't want to be bothered with making them.

 I have to admit, as much as I hate doing so, but leaves complet the flower.  They frame each bloom, add contrast and realism, and give your creations a finished, thoughtful look. They are essential in making flower displays.  Every display needs leaves, even if it is just to fill in the gaps.  

This month’s kit gives you the tools to make five different leaf types to suit a variety of flower styles and displays:

• Orate – These classic, oval leaves are perfect for fuller, rounder flowers.

• Digitate – Think of these as the splayed fingers of nature — perfect for more dramatic arrangements.

• Linear – Elegant and slender, these leaves are ideal for minimalist designs and grassy textures.

• Palmate – Bold and hand-like, great for lush or tropical-inspired florals. Perfect for Ivy.

• Trefoil – With their three-leafed shape, these bring a sweet, natural touch, ideal for wildflower-style pieces.

Whether you’re a leaf lover or a reluctant leaf maker like me, this box is about expanding your creative toolkit. Each style brings a different feel to your arrangement — and experimenting with them can transform your finished work.

So go on. Let the leaves grow on you. You might just find yourself falling for them after all.

Happy dipping!

Abby.
