Directions on How to Make a Scarecrow Coaster:
Step 1: A little dusting
I used copper pigment powder and dusted the mold.
Step 2: A little copper and gold
I mixed one ounce of resin and mixed in copper and gold pigment powder. I am using a fast curing resin, that cures white. You can use a clear drying resin and add pigments as well, but you need to adjust the color, to your liking.
Step 3: Pour that resiny goodness!
I poured it into the mold and let it cure. Because I used a resin that cures white, it will become much lighter!
Step 4: Now let’s see how to make a scarecrow face!
Once cured, I laid the button eyes on the coaster, for placement purposes and then painted the nose.
Step 5: A little stitchery
I painted the mouth.
Step 6: Button eyes
I glued on the eyes.
Step 7: The scarecrow coaster is coming together
I mixed one ounce of resin and poured it into the mold, popped the bubbles, and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.
Step 8: Take the scarecrow coaster out of the mold
Once cured, I pulled it out of the mold. This is what the back looked like.
Step 9: A little felt for the scarecrow hat
Cut two identical triangles out of brown felt.
Step 10: A simple triangle
Use a glue gun and put glue on the edge of the triangle.
Step 11: A haircut
Cut small pieces of raffia.
Step 12: The scarecrow coaster is coming together
Glue the pieces to the corners of the hat.
Step 13: One more seam
Glue the open edge together.
Step 14: Little patches
Glue small pieces of orange rectangle felt.
Step 15: Raffia accent
Glue on a piece of raffia.
Step 16: Put the scarecrow hat on
The hat is snug enough, but can still be removed.
That’s it! Look at that cute scarecrow! Now you know how to make a scarecrow coaster!
Thanks for stopping by! Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
