Step 1

Begin by mixing your resin to the specification of your resin pack, The resin I used was a 2:1 ratio of resin and hardener. Mix the resin slowly for a few minutes to ensure no bubbles and that the mixtured is well combined.

Step 2

Add a drop of the fluid pigment into the resin and mix well. The more pigment you use the deeper the colour will be. If you used more than a few drops I’d suggest adding a little more of the hardener to ensure that you keep an equal ratio.

Step 3

If you are pressing your own flowers, you will need to place the florals on blotting paper in the middle of the book. Make sure you give each flower enough room to be pressed flat without touching another. Small, light flowers such as pansies and daisies or foliage such as ferns work best. Leave inside the book and under a stack of a couple of heavier books for a fortnight to press well.

Place your flowers on the corners of the ceramic coasters.

Step 4

Add a layer of green resin to the top of the coaster, by pouring slowly and spreading using the mixing tool you will ensure an equal coverage.

Step 5

Add your gold flakes along the resin line gently placing them on top of the wet resin.

Step 6

Mix your clear resin (no colour added) and add a layer on top of the pressed flowers to ensure the coaster is fully covered in resin. Leave overnight to dry.

Step 7

Personalise your dried coasters with names using the Posca Pen.
