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.
