Looking for a fun and elegant DIY project? Sheri from The Brass Walnut created these stunning metallic resin coasters using our Acrylic Glacier Resin, shimmering mica powders, and delicate touches of gold leaf. They’re the perfect blend of functional and decorative—ideal for protecting your tabletops while adding a little luxe sparkle.
What You’ll Need
-
Mica powders and pigment powders of your choice
-
Mixing cups & stir sticks
Step 1: Mix Your Resin
Combine equal parts A and B of the Acrylic Glacier Resin. Stir slowly but thoroughly until the mixture is completely blended. Proper mixing ensures a smooth finish and prevents sticky spots later.
Step 2: Add Color
Stir in mica and pigment powders. This is where the magic happens—the powders add depth, shine, and that gorgeous metallic effect. You can experiment with different color blends for unique results.
Step 3: Pour, Add Gold Leaf & Let Cure
Pour the resin mixture into the coaster molds. While the resin is still wet, Sheri sprinkled in gold leaf for a rich, textured finish that elevates the design. Leave the coasters to cure overnight—patience is key for the best results!
The Results
Once fully cured, pop your coasters out of the molds to reveal a beautiful, high-gloss finish with shimmering metallic detail. Sheri’s version looks like an explosion of gold—bold, elegant, and eye-catching.
These DIY resin coasters make great conversation pieces, thoughtful gifts, or just a chic addition to your coffee table.
