FX Poxy: http://amzn.to/2AF3Pkk ~ According to the manufacturer, this one is heat resistant to 500 degrees F.
Here is a video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made it!
1. I mixed one ounce of resin and added red pigment. I mixed the pigment in well.
2. I poured it into the mold.
3. I popped the bubbles with my lighter and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.
4. Once cured, I removed the coaster from the mold.
Now I have this red disc.
5. I pulled out some of my black vinyl and cut a strip.
6. I peeled off the backing and smoothed the vinyl onto the resin disc.
7. I flipped it over and trimmed off the excess.
8. I trimmed a square out of the gold glitter vinyl.
9. I took my ruler to use as a guide and trimmed a smaller square from within the square.
10. I peeled off the backing and applied the gold square.
11. I cut and applied a small piece for the pointy belt part. (I can’t think of what it’s called!)
12. I mixed one ounce of resin and poured it slowly onto the coaster.
14. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles and let it cure for at least 12 hours.
That’s it! Here is the side view.
Now I have this cute Santa Belly Coaster!!!
