• Coaster mold
• Transparency film (laser)
• White pigment
• Fiskars circle cutter
• Brown eyeball image
• Green Eyeball image

• 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 ones as well.
• If only for cold drinks, you can be flexible and use whatever brand you like:
  • Let’s Resin
  • Promise Epoxy
  • Easy Cast
  • Art Resin
  • Lots of Resin Choices
• If you want it to work for both hot and cold drinks, you need to look for a heat-resistant resin, like these:
  • Stone Coat (Quick coat)
  • Stone Coat (Heat resistant)
  • FX Poxy ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500° F.

Directions

Step 1: The Resin

You want to start with a white background.  You need one ounce for each coaster.  You can either use regular resin and add a white pigment or you can a quick curing resin that cures white.  Mix your resin and pour it into the mold cavities.

Step 2: The Eyeball

I printed eyeballs out onto transparency film and cut them out with my circle cutter.  

TIP:  Cut on the side that is not printed on.

Step 3: A Little More Resin

Once the resin has cured, you want to mix one more ounce of resin per coaster and pour it over the white. Then, use a lighter to pop the bubbles.

Slide the transparency film eyeballs into the resin.

Press them down with your stir stick.  Make sure you press out all of the bubbles. Pop the bubbles with your lighter.  Allow to cure a minimum of 12 hours.

That’s it! Now you have the coolest coasters in town!
