5 Easy Steps to Make Frankenstein Art Coasters

Create fun and spooky Frankenstein art resin coasters in 5 easy steps—perfect for any Frankenstein fan art lover this Halloween!

Frankenstein has been a Halloween classic for generations. When I was a kid, I was convinced he lived in our basement.

Every time I turned off the lights, I’d flip the switch and run upstairs, certain he was right behind me.

I’d imagine him grabbing my ankles halfway up the stairs and pulling me into the darkness!

Luckily, that never happened…

PHEW!

…but those creepy little heart-stopping moments are probably why I love making Frankenstein art today!

This coaster project is my own playful spin on the iconic green monster, perfect for anyone who loves Frankenstein fan art and wants to add a quirky touch to their Halloween decor.

Plus, it’s simple, fun, and only takes a few steps to make.

How to Make Frankenstein Art Resin Coasters in 5 Easy Steps

Get ready! Here we go! Let’s start crafting!

Step 1: Prep and Pour the First Resin Layer

Mix your resin according to the package directions.

Pour a thin layer into your mold – just enough to cover the bottom.

Let it cure for at least 12 hours.

Step 2: Paint the Base Layer

Once the resin is set, paint the entire surface green for Frankenstein’s skin. You’ll likely need 2-3 coats for full coverage.

Allow it to dry completely.

Step 3: Add Hair, Face, and Bolts

Paint a straight black hairline across the top, then add triangles to mimic Frankenstein’s jagged hair. Remember to square off the triangles on the ends for that signature flat head.

Paint the nose, eyes, mouth, and silver bolts.

Step 4: Detail Your Frankenstein Fan Art

Fill in the whites of the eyes and use a fine-point permanent marker to outline the bolts and add small facial details.

Touch up with green paint as needed for crisp lines.

Step 5: Seal with a Final Resin Layer

When all the paint is dry, pour another layer of resin over the top to seal and protect your

Frankenstein art. Let it cure fully before unmolding.
