DIY Resin Coasters

These are resin coasters I made for my mother using stickers that she got me years ago that I recently found.

I did 2 layers of resin, the bottom being a white, pearl-like color and the top being clear.  The embellishments were glued on top of the white layer after it cured and I added ultra fine glitter to both to give it an elegant shimmer.

I made these Kingdom Hearts coasters for my friend for Christmas out of resin:

DIY Buffalo Bills Tie Clips, Pins, & Cuff Links

I made a set of Buffalo Bills tie clips, pins, and cuff links for my boyfriend and his brother since they are still huge Bills fans.  I scaled and cut out the pictures after printing them on resin-resistant photo paper and then I added a coat of resin.  I pre-treated the bezel with black nail polish that I got from the dollar store so you can see a very narrow black rim around the images.

I totally made the novice mistake of not realizing that men's button up shirts button differently than women's button-up shirts... so the first batch I made had the images upside down so I redid everything with the correct orientation of the pictures for men's and now I also have a buffalo bills tie clip 😂

These I made for my friend/boss who loves her Starbucks and is a big fan of the Yankees.

More Christmas ornaments that I made for my boyfriend's relatives. 

I tried to make the ornament based off of their favorite color and I used whatever pictures I had to make the ornaments.

DIY Christmas Ornaments (take 2)

I made these for my boyfriend's parents for Christmas.  I used clear, iridescent glass ornaments and filled the inside with acrylic paint and did a gravity drain while keeping the ornament upside down after all the inner surface of the ornament was covered with paint. 

 I took their family photos and printed them on resin resistant photo paper, cut out the pictures as circles and domed the pictures with a doming resin.

After the resin cured, I lined the domed photos with a trimming ribbon and added other embellishments to complete the design.  I also painted the ornament cap gold because it was originally silver and that just didn't look right with the gold design.

Buffalo Bills ornaments that I made for my boyfriend for Christmas.  I mixed photos of Bills logos and players for the ornaments.

DIY Bottle Cap Magnets

I made this for my boyfriend and his brother for his brother's birthday. (They're both huge Bills fans 😅🏈 Go Bills!)

I printed pictures as 1 inch circles and cut them out manually, glued them in with mod podge, decorated the pictures with glitter, floating charms, rhinestones etc, sealed with a layer of resin, and added a small magnet on the back.

Looking back, I should have sealed the pictures before I put the resin in to prevent the pictures from getting darker or having a "wet look" due to the resin.  Lesson learned.  The banner that I attached the bottle cap magnets to were wooden banners that I painted and decorated with scrapbook paper and stickers.  I glued small magnets to the banner so that the bottle cap magnets stayed in place but they are easily detachable so you can attach it to whatever magnetic surface you have.
