Resin Maple Leaf Decor Tutorial | Botanical Fall Resin Guide

Create elegant resin maple leaf décor with pressed flowers, soft fall colors and gold accents in this step-by-step Fortuna Botanique guide. 

Create elegant, botanical-inspired fall décor with the Resin Maple Leaf Decor Tutorial, a beautifully designed digital guide from Fortuna Botanique.

This step-by-step guide is designed for resin makers, creative entrepreneurs, handmade sellers, and beginners who want to create refined maple leaf décor with a softer, more luxurious seasonal aesthetic.

Instead of relying on heavy orange and rustic fall styling, this guide focuses on a Modern Feminine Fall look using clear or ivory resin, blush florals, delicate greenery, champagne-gold accents, soft sage, smoky lilac, and optional black cherry details.

You’ll learn how to turn a simple maple leaf mold into a polished decorative piece that feels elegant, giftable, and boutique-ready.

Inside the guide, you’ll explore the full process from concept to finished piece, including:

• Choosing the right epoxy resin for clear, glossy results
• Selecting maple leaf molds in different sizes
• Preparing your workspace and materials
• Measuring and mixing resin properly
• Creating clear, ivory, blush, sage, lilac, and black cherry color variations
• Using pressed flowers and dried botanicals
• Layering delicate foliage for depth
• Adding gold leaf, flakes, or metallic details
• Reducing bubbles and improving clarity
• Pouring in controlled layers
• Curing and demolding properly
• Sanding and refining rough edges
• Polishing for a smooth, glass-like finish
• Adding gilded edges or metallic stems
• Styling the finished pieces beautifully
• Troubleshooting common resin mistakes
• Creating cohesive seasonal collections
• Preparing your pieces for gifting or selling

The guide also includes several elevated design directions such as:

• Clear Botanical Maple Leaf
• Cream Floral Maple Leaf
• Blush Petal Maple Leaf
• Black Cherry Accent Maple Leaf

Each variation offers a different mood while staying within the same polished Fortuna Botanique aesthetic.

These finished resin maple leaves can be styled in many ways, including:

• Coffee table décor
• Bookshelf and mantel styling
• Vanity décor
• Entryway displays
• Seasonal shelf arrangements
• Thanksgiving table accents
• Hostess gifts
• Handmade gift sets
• Boutique collections
• Craft market products
• Small-business seasonal launches

This project is especially useful if you want your resin work to feel more elevated than a basic seasonal craft. The goal is to help you create pieces that feel decorative, refined, feminine, and professionally styled.
