Directions
1. I mixed two ounces of resin.
2. I had some eggshells on hand, from hardboiled eggs. I crushed them. I could be really fun, if you had colored Easter eggshells!
3. I added the shells to the resin.
4. I mixed it really well.
5. I poured the mixture into the mold.
6. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles. Remember, that eggshells are a natural material. Natural materials can create more bubbles in resin, so just be aware that you may need to go back more often to pop them.
7. Once cured, after a minimum of 12 hours, you can remove it from the mold.
That’s it! The fun thing about this coaster is that it looks different, depending on the surface it sits on!
