If you've built more than one Rolife DIY house kit, chances are you've encountered the potted plant element — and the sometimes frustration that comes with it. The leaves simply won't stay where they belong for me. I've tried the tape and at least 3 different glues, everything eventually fails or falls off.
I picked up the resin suggestion from someone in the community and just kind of figured out the rest as I went! The product is Let's Resin UV resin and I've been happy enough with my results that I wanted to share what worked for me. I'm currently building the A-Frame Cabin and made one today specifically to document the full process from start to finish so I could share.
What You'll Need
- Your Rolife DIY house kit (wire is already included!)
- Pliers
- Let's Resin UV resin kit (comes with the light!)
The Process
- Cut your wires — half as many as you have leaves, and longer than the finished length shown in the instructions. You'll need that extra length to anchor everything in the pot.
- Use pliers to curl both ends of each wire. Don't skip this — it's what makes everything hold!
- Hold the wire flush on top of one leaf and apply a small amount of UV resin to cover the wire.
- Cure with your UV light for 20 seconds.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the second leaf on the other end of the wire.
- Fold the stem in half — and vary the fold point on each stem so your leaf heights are all different. The variation gives the plant a natural, full look.
- Feed the stems through the wood disc.
- Bend the bottom ends over to secure everything in the pot.
- Fluff your leaves to the desired shape.
Photos of each step are included above, along with a shot of the Let's Resin box so you can find the exact product — and yes, the light comes with it!
I love the way this was written. The photos are great for visual learners.
