FX Poxy: https://amzn.to/2AF3Pkk ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500 degrees F.
Here is quick video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made them:
Directions:
1. I found these super cute erasers at the party store.
2. I mixed two ounces of resin and split them into two cups.
3. I poured the clear cup into one of the cavities in the mold.
4. I added a small amount of orange pigment to the second cup.
5. I mixed it really well.
6. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles.
7. I began adding the erasers.
8. I then poured the orange into the mold.
9. I popped the bubbles with the lighter.
10. I began adding the erasers to the resin. Be careful because you don’t want to have to move any in the orange resin around.
11. I quickly popped the bubbles. Don’t stay in one place too long, you don’t want to melt the erasers. I let it cure for a minimum of 12 hours.
12. I mixed two more ounces of resin and poured it over the coasters.
13. I popped the bubbles with my lighter and let them sit for a minimum of 12 hours.
14. When cured, I removed them from their mold.
Now I have a couple of cute and festive resin coasters!
That’s it! Thanks for stopping by! Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
