Coasting Along




This was not my favorite project b/c it was a real pain but the outcome was pretty unique so I thought I would share it.
What you will need (similar to the beer tray project)
  • Epoxy Resin
  • Castin Craft 3x3 reusable resin mold
  • Mold release spray
  • Resin mixing cups
  • Adhesive felt or cork
  • Beer caps, pictures, etc





How to make it -
  • Step 1: Spray molds with mold release spray
  • Step 2: Pour in thin layer of expoxy resin and let set for about an hour
  • Step 3: Place beer caps or photos into mold (if you are using photos you should mod podge them first to make sure they don't bleed)
  • Step 4: Let the first layer dry 
  • Step 5: Pour in a second layer (I like to make the second layer a different color so I mix the resin with a few drops of Castin Craft dye)
  • Step 6: Let it dry for 12+ hours
  • Step 7: Pop the coasters out of the mold and you are almost done!
  • Last Step: Apply some adhesive cork to the bottom of the coasters
  • ENJOY!!
