UnicornSpit Coasters DIY | Another Coaster Friday | Craft Klatch

Learn how to make a Unicorn Spit Coaster!  It’s an easy resin coaster DIY!  The thing I love about doing coasters is they are a small canvas to try different art techniques and decor techniques.  This coaster is a perfect example of how you can take this small and inexpensive project and apply it to a larger canvas to make an inexpensive home decor item that looks like a million bucks as wall art or leaned up on your mantel.  You can customize the color to reflect your personal style and home decor theme!

Here is a quick video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made them:

Directions: 


1.  I found these wood squares at the craft store.



2.  I used Unicorn Spit in five different colors.

3.  I put two colors at a time, on my paint brush and put it on the wood squares.  They blend beautifully!







4.  I used a paper towel to wipe off the excess,






5.  I put the coasters up on cups.  I mixed two ounces of resin and poured it on the coasters.



6.  I used a sponge brush to move the resin around the coaster and to have more control.



7.  Once I had it all covered, I used a lighter to pop the bubbles and let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.



Now they look great and shiny!





8.  I did not to the back of the coasters, so I pulled out my cork shelf liner.

9.  I cut it to size.



10.  I peeled off the backing.



11.  I applied it to the back of the coasters.



12.  Rubbed it down.



That’s it!  Now you have beautiful coasters that won’t scratch your table.


Thank you for stopping by!  Remember:  Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™  Stay safe!
