DIY: How to Make Polymer Clay Chocolate Chip Cookie Coasters | Craft Klatch Another Coaster Friday |

Make chocolate chip cookie coasters to wow your friends and family! It's simple with some polymer clay!

You will need:

- Polymer clay (latte): http://amzn.to/2lY2geX

- Polymer clay (burnt umber): http://amzn.to/2mWTMUI

- Pastels: http://amzn.to/2npYXKw

- Stencil brush: http://amzn.to/2n76BfF

Here is the video tutorial:

Directions:

1. Use a half of a package of clay per cookie. Break off half of the package of the latte or similar color and condition it. Conditioning it means all you have to do is squish it and squeeze it in your hand until it gets warm and easy to mold.

2. Once you have it molded, you can squish it into a cookie shape. I work on parchment paper. You want to have the cookies be somewhat flat, so a cup can sit on it, without falling over or sliding off.

3. Take some of the dark brown polymer clay and roll small pieces into little balls and squish them down onto the cookie. Those are the chocolate chips. You want them to be pretty flat, so they don't make a cup or glass sit uneven on your coaster.

4. Once you have the chocolate chips in place, you can use an old toothbrush or paint brush to create a texture on the cookies, which also removes your finger prints.

5. Scrap a small amount of pastels in a blue and a rust color into a little cup. Then, take a dry paint brush, dip it into the pastels and give the cookie a baked look.

6. Do the same with as many cookies as you want to make. Then, bake them according to the directions on your clay package.

That's it! Once they have cooled, you can start using them!

Resin Easter Chick Coasters | Resin Project | Another Coaster Friday | Craft Klatch | How To

Get ready to make a cute Easter coaster, with little chicks and glitter!

You will need:

Coaster mold: http://amzn.to/2mptda4

Resin: http://amzn.to/2mpQ0Td

Green glitter - I used green glitter flakes and then s little bit of green chunky glitter

Wood chick stickers: I found them at Michaels

Here is the video tutorial:

Directions:

1. Mix one ounce of resin, according to the package directions.

2. Mix in the glitter flakes and a little bit of the green chunky glitter.

3. Pour it into the mold. Pop bubbles and allow it to cure.

4. Once cured, you can stick the little chicks onto the resin. I will suggest that you add some glue because I had one pop up on me. I little crazy glue behind it will do the trick.

5. Once the glue has dried, mix one maybe two ounces of resin and pour it over the chicks.

6. Pop bubbles with your lighter and allow it to cure. Because the chicks have a space between the resin and the actual wood, there will be more bubbles than usual, so just keep an extra eye on it.

Once cured, you have a super cute Easter coaster!
