Helpful Tips:
What can I use for snowman parts in my melted snowman coaster?
Make a hat out of craft foam. A carrot nose can also be made from craft foam, or you can sculpt one using polymer clay. Small twigs can be used for arms. Make sure they’re completely dry before adding them to the resin. Beads or buttons make great snowman eyes. Use real buttons or substitute small beads or balls of polymer clay.
Can I colour my resin snowman coaster?
Yes! We kept ours transparent, but you can use mica powder, acrylic paint, alcohol ink, or food colouring to change the colour of your coaster. There are also special dyes specifically made for resin that come in both liquid and powder forms. We still recommend pouring a clear layer to be the front of the coaster, but a coloured background would look really nice!
How much resin will I need for my resin snowman coaster?
We poured about 60ml of resin total for this coaster, but we had 10 to 20ml leftover. The exact amount of resin needed will vary, of course, based on your specific mold. To find out exactly how much resin to mix, fill the mold with water first. Then pour the water from the mold into a measuring cup. This will show how much resin you need to mix total. Be sure to dry your mold well before adding resin to it. You can also measure the size of your mold and use a resin calculator to determine the amount of resin needed.
These resin snowman coasters are snow cute! Use them to bring a splash of fun to your table, tuck them into a gift basket of hot cocoa supplies, or give a set of them as a cute holiday surprise for a friend.
