Directions:
1. I found some temporary tattoos with an old world creepiness to them.
2. I mixed two ounces of resin. I used a resin that cures white and is a quick curing resin. You can use regular clear resin and add color instead. Because the resin I used cures white, I had to take that into consideration when adding color.
3. Once mixed, I poured the resin into the mold.
4. Once cured, I cut out the tattoos.
5. I laid them out on the coasters, for spacing purposes.
6. I peeled off the clear backing and placed the tattoo face down.
7. I used a wet one - you can also use a damp paper towel.
8. I carefully peeled it up.
9. I painted on dots for additional embellishment.
10. I mixed two ounces of resin and poured it onto the coasters.
11. I popped the bubbles, with my lighter and let it cure.
12. Once cured, I removed it from the mold.
That's it! Now you have some cool, but creepy tattoo coasters!
Thanks for stopping by! Remember: Life's too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
