Step 1: Mixing and pouring epoxy resin
After properly mixing your epoxy resin, pour a thin layer into your coaster mold. I filled my molds about a third of the way to leave room for two more layers (which will be explained later in the tutorial). After pouring, wait about 5 minutes before starting the next step.

Step 2: Creating the ‘Crushed Velvet’ texture
Tear off a piece of plastic wrap that is slightly larger than your coaster mold (you will need one piece of plastic wrap per coaster). Since you waited about 5 to 10 minutes after pouring the epoxy, it will make these next steps a lot easier! First spray a bit of rubbing alcohol onto the epoxy to pop any bubbles that may have risen to the surface. Place the single sheet of plastic wrap over the epoxy filled coaster mold and GENTLY press the plastic onto the surface of the resin. Use your fingers to lightly pinch the plastic and epoxy resin, which will form a rippled surface texture. Repeat this step to each coaster and let cure for about 2 hours.
