This is the resin I used for this project:
FX Poxy: https://amzn.to/2AF3Pkk ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500 degrees F.
Here is a quick video, so you can see exactly how I made them:
1. For this project, I am painting directly the coaster molds.
2. I started painting very simple flowers.
3. Then I added the cactus needles.
4. I painted the curbed stripes onto the mold.
5. I painted small flowers with the same red/berry paint.
4. I mixed four ounces of resin and mixed in a green pigment powder.
5. I poured the resin into the molds.
6. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.
7. I removed the coasters from the mold.
Here is the front. The paint is now part of the resin and will not scratch off.
8. I painted the backs the same as the fronts. I first started painting the curved stripes.
9. I painted the needles.
10. I painted the flowers.
11. Once it all dried, I mixed four more ounces of resin and carefully poured it onto the coasters.
12. I popped the bubbles and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.
13. I drilled a small hole into each of the coasters.
14. I added glue to the hole.
15. I inserted the flowers.
That’s how the look together.
16. I added rock to a terra pot.
17. I added my coasters.
That’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by! Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
