I’ll show you how to create an adorable snow scene coaster using resin, paint and buttons!  It’s easy!

You will need:

• Coaster mold:  https://amzn.to/2zluUd8
• Buttons:  https://amzn.to/2yEq354
• Fine blue glitter:  https://amzn.to/2ChfMOt
• Dimensional paint:  https://amzn.to/2i6D55z
• White and green acrylic paint:  https://amzn.to/2Al39V8
• Resin:
  • When deciding on which resin to use for your coasters, you need to keep in mind whether you want it just for cold cups or for hot as well.
    • If only for cold drinks, you can be flexible and use whatever brand you like:
      • Easy Cast:  https://amzn.to/2yjYmBC
      • Art Resin:  https://amzn.to/2yk9X3z
      • Clear Cast:  https://amzn.to/2z4rxGw
    • If you want it to work for both hot and cold drinks, you need to look for a heat resistant resin, like these:
      • FX Poxy:  https://amzn.to/2AF3Pkk ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500 degrees F.
      • Stone Coat: https://amzn.to/2FZoWX8

Directions:
1.  Mix one ounce of resin.

2.  Add fine blue glitter and mix well.

3.  Pour the resin into the coaster mold.

4.  With a lighter, pop the bubbles and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.

5.  Cut off the backs of the buttons, using wire cutters.

6.  Think of the resin as a canvas.  I used acrylic paint to paint a snowy scene.  It was very simple!

7.  Add glue to the backs of the buttons and put them into place.

8.  Add dimensional fabric glue, for a dimensional look.

9.  Once dry, add layer or resin.  It will likely take two ounces.

 10.  Pop the bubbles with a lighter and let it cure for a minimum of 12 hours.

11.  Once cured, remove it from the mold.

 That’s it!  Then, you have a fun winter coaster!

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.
