DIY Steampunk Mosaic Coasters

We like to make diy coaster, and we especially like to make them out of resin. The transparent resin makes the table coaster design really shine. If you have never tried resin before, don't be afraid. It's all about two parts of mixed resin. We will tell you how to do it!

For this project, we want to make tea coasters, but we can't find a base we like, and we can fix the sides in resin. Then we thought of the can lid. Cheap and perfect size! We painted our silver from the inside out.

Next, we made a mosaic design using glass tiles and small metal gears and things. We just glue them to the lid with permanent glue (you can use transparent silicone). We make each roller coaster a little different from the next.

For the resin, we used Envirotex Lite Pour-On Finish. To mix the resin, pour 3 ounces of curing agent in one cup and 3 ounces of resin in the other cup. Then pour the two parts together into the third cup. Stir thoroughly for two minutes, then pour the contents into the fourth cup and stir for another two minutes. Pour the resin on the mosaic.

About ten minutes after pouring the resin, small bubbles will appear. Exhale on the surface of the roller coaster to release bubbles. (The carbon dioxide in the exhaled breath releases bubbles.) Let the coaster cure in a dust-free area on a horizontal surface for 48 hours

We like the results of these steampunk coasters. Hope you can try to make it yourself!

DIY WOOL FELT BALL COASTERS

Image
Hello friends! Today I came back with a fun little DIY coaster . Just before the holiday, I saw a picture of a felt ball table coaster . You may have noticed that these little felt balls have popped up throughout the process area. In the past holidays, I have seen a lot in garlands and decorations. Wanting to deal with these little guys cleverly, I decided to make some colorful tea coasters for my new office space! As I will describe below, I basically glued the ball to some of the empty cork coasters I found at TJ Maxx. After doing more research while writing this article, I realized that these felt balls can also be worn on a rope and then sewn together. This will eliminate the need for cork coasters. This will also bring the felt balls closer. I can try this method with a bigger ball. If I do, I will tell you how to do it. I am very satisfied with the result of my coaster. They appeared on this Instagram yesterday and I am very happy to see that they received such a positive respon...
