Here is a quick video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made it!



Directions:
1.  I brushed pigment powder on the mold.  That will allow the resin to cure and adhere to the pigment powder.





2.  I mixed one ounce of fast curing resin and poured it into the mold.  The fast curing resin should cure white, but sometimes it cures to an off-white.





3.  Once cured, I started adding alcohol inks.






4.  Once I had the ink on, I moved it around, to make sure the coaster was covered.





5.  I let the alcohol ink dry and then pulled it out of the mold.



6.  I then mixed more resin, it should take less than an ounce, and slowly poured it onto the coaster.



7.  I used my stir stick to make sure I got it to the edges.




8.  I used my lighter to pop the bubbles.  Then, I let it sit for a minimum of 12 hours before touching it.



That’s it!



Here is the back, which has the pigment powder permanently adhere to the resin.


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Remember:  Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™  Stay safe!
