Upcycled Coasters with Memento Dye Ink and Resin
Repurpose old coffee coasters into these beautiful works of art!
-
Lightly rub sandpaper over the coasters to create a slight texture.
-
Apply a primer coat of white paint to the surface of the coasters; allow to dry completely.
-
Trace coaster outline onto the ephemera paper and cut out.
-
Adhere paper to the top of the coaster with Creative Medium. Smooth out any air bubbles using a brayer.
-
Stamp images onto the coaster using Memento Espresso Truffle and Teal Zeal.
-
Highlight areas with Pear Tart Memento marker.
-
Mix ICE Resin (following manufacturer's instructions) and pour carefully (and slowly) onto the coaster. NOTE: Having a light/lamp close to where you are working makes it easier to see that the ICE Resin is smooth.
-
Allow resin to fully cure.
