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

Directions:
1.  I mixed one ounce of resin and mixed in some orange pigment.

2.  I poured it into the mold.

3.  I used my lighter to pop the bubbles.

4.  I went into Cricut design space and looked up Halloween.  A lot of fun images showed up, but I really liked the ghosts.

5.  I added it to my project.

6.  I removed the colors and sized it to 3.5 inches.  All I wanted was the silhouette.

7.  I cut it out of vinyl with my cutting machine.

8.  I removed the excess vinyl, or weeded it.

9.  I put transfer tape over the image.

10.  I burnished it down.

11.  I pulled the image up.

12.  I placed it on my cured coaster.

13.  I burnished it down and removed the transfer tape.

14.  I mixed one ounce of resin and poured it over the coaster.

15.  I used my lighter to pop the bubbles and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.

That’s it!  Now you have this fun coaster.  The simple color scheme definitely gives off a Halloween vibe.
