Sand Dollar Resin Coaster Craft Tutorial

If you are ready for a little beach in your home decor, make this cute coaster with resin and a sand dollar!

You will need:

–  Resin – I use Easy Cast
–  Parchment paper
–  Sand Dollar
–  Coaster mold
–  Mod Podge

Here is the video on how to make the coaster mold:

Here is the video tutorial on how I made the sand dollar coaster:

Here is the video, if you are wondering where the blue background came from:

Directions:
1.  Prepare your mold on parchment paper.
2.  Mix resin with light blue acrylic paint and pour into the mold – let it cure for 12 hours
3.  Seal your sand dollar with Mod Podge, or the sand dollar will become blotchy from the resin – allow to dry completely
4.  Tack down the sand dollar with glue and allow to dry
5.  Prepare your resin and pour over the sand dollar – allow to cure for 12 hours
6.  Remove from mold and you have a beachy coaster!!
Here is the resin I used in this project.  Since doing this project, I have started using the mold below.  It works great!  Both are available through Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!

    • Hi Nancy – I checked and they were all there, but I did update them with larger embedded frames. I use an iMac too. Give it a try and see if it works. Otherwise, all my videos are on YouTube and you can access them on my channel youtube.com/craftklatch – that's where everything is uploaded. Thanks and let me know if it works!

    • I can see the video now – thank you! One more question. What thickness 4 inch cork circles do you use? When I went to order the 4 inch cork circles online, they come in all different thicknesses – 5/16, 1/8, 3/8, 1/4. I plan to keep the cork on the bottom of the coaster, if that makes a difference. Really appreciate your help!
