I thought it would be fun to try adding cotton balls to resin, to make coasters. Here’s is a quickie video to show you how it turned out and exactly how I made it:

Resin (use whatever resin brand you like):

Directions:
1. Get out your mold, your cottonballs and your resin!
2. I mixed two ounces of resin and poured most of it into the mold.
3. I used my lighter to pop any bubbles.
4. I began to separate the cotton ball – just pull it apart.
5. Then, I began adding the cotton balls to the resin and pressing them in with my stir stick.
6. I poured any excess or remaining resin into the mold.
7. Then I mixed another ounce or so of resin and added it on top as well.
8. I popped all of the bubbles, using my lighter and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.
9. Once cured, I removed it from the mold and viola! It kind of looks like a cloud or the moon!
If you enjoyed that coaster, you might enjoy this one too!
That’s it! Thanks for stopping by and remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
