Directions for Poinsettia and Champagne New Years Eve Coasters

  1. Mix two ounces of resin according to the package directions.

2. Pour one ounce into a mold and pop the bubbles with the lighter.

3. Mix the second one A LOT! You want to mix a ton of bubbles into the resin and pour the resin into the other mold. Do not pop the bubbles. The bubbles should give the New Years Eve champagne glasses a little extra bubbly!

4. Once both have cured, remove the non-bubble one from the mold.

5. Either freehand or find a poinsettia pattern and size it to fit the coaster. Place it under the coaster and using the faux lead, trace it onto the coaster and let dry.

6. In the meantime, print out some New Years Eve champagne glasses, on transparency film. On the backside, paint gold glitter paint where the champagne is. Once dry, paint with pearl white paint where the glass is.  Allow it all to dry.
