Directions:
1. I found these temporary tattoos and I have my coaster mold.
2. I mixed one ounce of resin and mixed in pigment powder.
3. I poured the resin into the mold. I did the same with other colors and let them all cure.
4. Once cured, I removed them from the mold.
5. I trimmed the tattoos I wanted to use.
6. I removed the clear protective layer.
7. I positioned the tattoos and wet the backs.
8. I removed the backing.
And this is what it looks like, before the final coat.
9. I poured resin over the top of all the coasters.
10. I popped the bubbles with my lighter and let them cure a minimum of 12 hours.
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!
