In reply to Kiko. I would do these with dried flowers or something cute like that! Laura

In reply to Dana. Hi! Like I said in the post you should follow the more detailed directions on the epoxy package which will definitely tell you to be in a well-ventilated area (which I was) so that is very important! I was wearing gloves when doing this but I was also holding a camera to take the photos so there were times I had to take them off to do certain things so I didn't get epoxy on my camera, but the instructions on the package will also tell you to wear gloves as well :) Laura

In reply to Barbara Schiavo. It's possible if you had a lot of condensation that could happen, but I think you would have to have a lot :) Laura

These are so cute! But I wonder if they would absorb condensation from cold drinks or would it just run over them, not protecting the surface underneath?

So cute! I have yet to try resin… but this is making me want to dip my toes in (not literally, of course ?)

In reply to Dana.

These are fun, but I second Dana’s warning about including the right personal protective equipment in the post – it’s not just about ruining surfaces or dealing with a strong smell, the vapors themselves are very hazardous! The PPE is not what most people already have at home. Epoxy products warn on the labels that you need a respirator if there isn’t adequate ventilation already, & gloves. This also shouldn’t be mixed in any containers or with stirrers that could melt from the heat generated by mixing or react with the resin or hardener.

Also, you may want to correct the title – acrylic is a completely different type of plastic than epoxy. These are Epoxy Glitter Coasters, not at all acrylic ones

These are so cute!
Do you have any suggestions for eco-friendly glitter? I would love to make these but I’ve been trying to do my part with not releasing glitter out into our world.

Please use gloves and follow resin safety protocol, like a ventilator mask and being in a well ventilated area! Resin can make you sick if used incorrectly! It can also make a mess if you spill so cover your work area!
