Learn how to make a coaster using chia seeds. It gives it a fun textured look and it works great as a background! I added a heart, which is great for Valentine’s Day, a wedding, anniversary, or just because.
Here’s a quick video to show you exactly how I made it!

Directions:
1. I mixed two ounces of resin.
4. I poured the mixture into the coaster mold.
5. I used my lighter and popped the bubbles and allowed it to cure a minimum of 12 hours.
6. I mixed one more ounce of resin and poured it over the coaster.
7. I popped the bubbles with my lighter.
8. After 12 hours, I was able to remove it from the mold.
9. I cut a heart out glitter vinyl, with my Cricut.
10. I added it to the coaster. This vinyl sticks well and will last a long time.
Here is is all finished. You can add another coat of resin, if you wanted to, but it’s not necessary.
That’s it! It gives it a fun textured look and is great by itself, or with a decal on it!
Thanks for stopping by! Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
