How to Price Pressed Flower Resin Art for Profit
Pressed flower resin art sits at the intersection of nature and craft — and it can be a genuinely profitable handmade product when you price it correctly. The most common mistake makers make is undercharging because they forget to account for all their material costs, not just the resin itself.
The Four Material Costs That Matter
Every piece of pressed flower resin art has four core cost categories. Epoxy resin is usually sold by the kit, and a single batch typically yields multiple pours or pieces. Divide the batch cost by how many finished pieces you get to find your per-piece resin cost. Pressed flowers can come from your garden (nearly free) or from suppliers, where costs range from $0.50 to $3+ per set. Molds are reusable — divide the mold price by how many uses you expect (silicone molds typically last 30–100+ pours). Finishing supplies include UV-resistant top coat, polishing compound, sandpaper, and backing materials.
What Markup to Use
A 200–300% markup (meaning you charge 3–4x your material cost) is standard for handmade resin art sold on Etsy or at craft fairs. Many successful resin artists on Etsy price small pendants at $15–$35 and larger pieces like coasters or wall art at $45–$120.
Batch Production Saves Money
One of the biggest cost advantages in resin art is batch production. Mixing a large pour and filling six molds at once costs nearly the same in resin prep time as filling one mold — but spreads fixed costs across six units.
