1. Paint the wood coasters with your choice of color. Let them dry completely.
2. Glue a butterfly to each coaster. Wrap the edges of the coasters with tape to seal up the edges and keep the resin in place when you pour it on.
3. Mix together the 2-part resin in your paper cup with the popsicle stick. Make sure to follow the instructions on the box for best result.
4. Add the desired amount of glitter into the resin mix and stir with the popsicle stick.
5. Once mixed, slowly pour over the top of the butterfly and coaster surface to desired thickness. We chose to add the resin mix until the butterflies were covered.
6. Use the heat gun to help burst any bubbles in the resin.
7. Let your coasters sit for 24 hours.
8. Once dry, remove the tape. If needed, sand down the edges.
