Here is a quick video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made it!
Directions:
1. I brushed pigment powder on the mold. That will allow the resin to cure and adhere to the pigment powder.
2. I mixed one ounce of fast curing resin and poured it into the mold. The fast curing resin should cure white, but sometimes it cures to an off-white.
3. Once cured, I started adding alcohol inks.
4. Once I had the ink on, I moved it around, to make sure the coaster was covered.
5. I let the alcohol ink dry and then pulled it out of the mold.
6. I then mixed more resin, it should take less than an ounce, and slowly poured it onto the coaster.
7. I used my stir stick to make sure I got it to the edges.
8. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles. Then, I let it sit for a minimum of 12 hours before touching it.
That’s it!
Here is the back, which has the pigment powder permanently adhere to the resin.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
