It's great home decor idea for decorating for the holidays!
Here is the video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made the whole set:
Directions:
1. I went shopping and found this super cute Christmas penguin fabric, little metal Christmas trees and wood discs.
The discs are roughly 3.5 inches in diameter.
2. I painted the discs white - front and back.
3. I trimmed a piece of fabric, a little bit larger than the disc.
5. I brushed the Mod Podge onto one side of the disc.
6. I placed the fabric onto the disc and smoothed it down.
7. I trimmed the excess, right up to the edge of the disc.
9. I brushed the Mod Podge on the fabric.
So far, so good!
10. Once it dried, I did two more coats, to make sure it was really sealed. Be sure to check and make sure the edges are well sealed and down too.
11. Once dry, I painted the backs and edges with a multi-surface black paint.
12. Once dry, I used painters tape to line the backs, so resin drips can be removed.
13. I used my craft knife to cut off the excess.
14. I put a thin coat of Vaseline on the edge of the tape, so the resin will release much easier.
15. I set up the holder for the coasters. I put the little Christmas trees in the mold. I just leaned them up on the edge of the mold.
16. I mixed three ounces of resin, which is enough to coat the coasters and make the holder.
17. I poured the resin onto the coasters and used my stir stick to help it to the edges.
18. I had about one ounce left over and added chunky red, chunky black and fine silver glitter.
19. I mixed it and poured it into the coaster mold, being careful not to pour too quickly, because I didn't want the trees to fall over.
20. I used my lighter to pop the bubbles for the holder and the coasters. Then I let everything sit for a minimum of 12 hours.
21. Here are the drips on the bottom of the coasters. With the tape and the Vaseline, it's easy to pop the right off!
22. I used a roll of cork, which is sticky shelf liner.
23. I cut a piece a little larger than the coaster.
24. I added a little glue to the edge of the coaster.
25. I removed the backing from the shelf liner and put the down onto the sticky side of the cork.
26. I rubbed it down and then cut off the excess with my craft knife.
27. I used a file to smooth any rough edges on the cork, so it's nice and finished.
Here they are all finished!!!
28. The holder cured and I removed it from the mold.
It makes the cutest set for Christmas or as a hostess gift!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Remember: Life's too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
