Materials:

  • Circle silicone mold
  • Resin
  • Paper cup or container you can ruin

  • Patterned scrapbook paper
  • Mod Podge
  • Paint brush

How to make patterned coasters:

1. Start by creating your resin. For this you will need a paper cup (or a container you don’t mind ruining) and a mixing stick. I highly recommend doing this outside as the resin is pretty strong smelling. Make sure to read the instructions on your resin as each one is different. For my resin I poured equal amounts of the two liquids and stirred continuously for 2 minutes straight. I ended up with about ¼ cup total.

2. Once your resin is mixed pour it directly into your silicone mold. Let dry overnight (or per resin instructions).
