Prior to starting this project, ensure you have pressed your leaves in a heavy book for around 24 hours.
Follow the instructions for the resin that you are using by mixing up the appropriate measurements of resin and hardener. Mix slowly to ensure you don't create too many air bubbles.
Then, fill the moulds halfway with resin.
Place one or more of the leaves on top and then add a shake of glitter. Bear in mind that the glitter will move slightly when you pour the remaining resin on top.
Pour more resin into the moulds so that it reaches the top of the moulds.
Top tip: Pop any small air bubbles on the surface with a cocktail stick.
Leave to harden for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, pop out the moulds and the coasters are now ready to use!
