\"\"<\/a>If you’ve seen glitter acrylic coasters before online, then you may have had the same thought I did of, “yes, please!” I’m a big fan of the look of acrylic accents on things, so it’s fun to do some small projects with resin and molds to add a little sparkle to your day-to-day life with some glitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are actually super<\/em> easy to make too\u2014I’ll show you how!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>Supplies:<\/strong>
–coaster mold<\/a>
–clear epoxy resin kit<\/a>
–mixing cup<\/a>
–glitter of your choice <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>First, you’ll want to decide what colors of glitter you want for your coaster! You can do all one color or mix up the glitter colors\/textures\/shapes … whatever you like! Put your desired glitter into the bottom of your coaster molds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want there to be some clear areas where you can see through to the surface where the coaster is sitting, then don’t fully cover the bottom. If you want it to be one solid mass of glitter, then use a heavy hand and make sure it’s completely covering the bottom.
\"\"<\/a>Follow the directions on the package to mix up your epoxy to get it ready to pour! All quality epoxy resin products will also outline safety measures you should take when working with the liquids as they can give off a strong smell and ruin furniture or other surfaces if spilled, so be sure to follow all the directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The epoxy kit directions will tell you to do this in a well-ventilated space and wear gloves, both of which I did, but the gloves got sticky and I was worried about getting it all over my camera so I had to take them off to do the photos and put them back on between shots \ud83d\ude42
\"\"<\/a>Pour your epoxy over top of the glitter and fill the mold to right below the top edge.
\"\"<\/a>Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles that come up over the next 5-10 minutes and then let it dry for 10-24 hours (each kit may need a different dry time, so just check what your kit recommends). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you let it set you can also use your toothpick to move around any glitter pieces that you want to, so check and see if you have a bare spot or if one area is too dense.
\"\"<\/a>When your molds are set, you can pop them out and they are ready to use!
\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>How dreamy are those?? And so simple to make as well. These would be a great gift in a set of four, so keep these in mind when gifting season comes around too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you just need a little sparkle in your day to make you smile and a glass of chilled ros\u00e9 on one of these bad boys definitely ups my happy factor … xo. Laura<\/p>\n\n\n
