1. Introduction of the Class: Welcome to my sin coaster making course. I'm Saba, and I'm thrilled to guide you through this exciting journey. Okay. And whether you're a bigner or you just know the little knowledge about the sinat, but I'm here to guide you through the process of creating the beautiful coasters which are functional and you can pro use it at home or give to someone. In this course, we are going to dive deep into the world of resin at focusing specifically on creating the standing coaster. These aren't just the ordinary coasters. They are the piece of art that you'll be creating by yourself. From the materials and tools you will need to the technique for mixing and pouring drasin, and even the tips on adding the creative touches like colors or beautiful, small, small stones, I'll be showing you everything in a practical and hands on way. One of the reason I love working with the resin is because of its versatility. You can create so many different looks from sleek and modern to rustic and organic. Now resin art can seem a bit intimidating at first, but don't worry. I'll be breaking down each step in detail, making it easy for you to follow along. And because this course is hands on, you will be able to see exactly how it's done in real time. I'll be working right alongside you explaining every step as we go. And the best part of this class is, by the end of this class, you will have your own coaster in your hand, which you'll be using it at home. Creating the resin is not about just creating something beautiful, but it's actually very satisfying. There's nothing quite like seeing your vision comes to the life, and don't worry. I'm here to guide you to every step. So roll up your sleeves, unlesh your creativity, and let's start the fun with some resins. Let's get started. 2. What all things are required for this class: Hello, and welcome to the class. Today, we are going to learn about how to make coaster using the resin. So let us talk about the materials which I use. This is the resin epoxy resin. And this is the hardner. These two things we are going to use. We are going to use 3 grams of hardner, and 6 grams of resin, that the ratio of resin to hardner is six as to three means two S to one. Ratio which we are using is two to one. If you want to use more resin, according to that, you can use the Hardner two. If you're using 4 grams of hardner, then you have to use 8 grams of epoxy resin. And we are going to use this transparent plastic glass. Because with the help of this, we can easily calculate. We can easily understand how much resin or how much hardnu we are using. Next is of course, the main thing which is handlas. Yes, because this is not a very concentrated one, but still we are using this for safety purpose because it becomes very sticky and it smells, so it's very convenient to use this. This is coastal mole which we are going to use today. There are some decorative things like the dry flows which we are going to use, and also some more decorative items like heart shape for the kids, it's mini mouse phase. This is golden lining. These are some colorful stones and pebbles, so this is the pink color which we are going to use today. The pink pigment, we are just going to use one or two drops, and this is the wooden stick, which is going to be helpful while mixing the resin. Now in the next class, we are going to start. Thank you. 3. Learn how to mix resin and hardener: Hello, and welcome to the glass again. Let us start. First, we have to wear the safety gloves hand gloves. Start. So I'm going to use this glass first. Let us put the raisin. 6 grams. Now, let us put the hardn. For the hardner, we are going to use the next class. This is the resin, which I have used 6 grams. For the hardn I'm using the other glass, and we are going to put 3 grams. As you can see, that I can use my finger to see how much it is, and the half of that we are going to put as a hardn in this other glass. As you can see, this is a little bit wet because already there was hard ner inside, which I emptied. I using the same glass. Okay. So this is hard nu. So I have taken 3 grams of hardn and 6 grams of resin, and now we are going to mix this. Let us put the sin in the hard. With the help of the stick, we can empty. Pull hardner in this. As you can see, when we are trying to remove the harder, some of the other they get sticked at the edges or somewhere. It's okay if you're using the harder if I'm telling you 3 grams, so it's not necessary to use 3 grams. You can use a 3.1 or even if it is left, that's fine. No. I've tried my best to remove everything from this glass. There we go. Now take your time to mix. Yes, you have to mix it very nicely so that the harder and resin, they get mixed properly. Now the next step is, we're going to put this into the coaster mole for that, we see in the next class. Thank you. 4. Learn how to put pigment in resin and then set in mould: Hello and welcome to the class. Let us put inside this. As you can see, I'm going to put here starting from the. Here we go. Now, I think this has covered more than half. Let us make some colors. Let's make the pink color. Here we go. Pink pigment. Only one or two drops are enough. Trust me. You. Let's mix this very nicely. You can see that it's giving the beautiful color. Okay. So we can put this on this side. So I'm using half transparent, half pink color. Try to put it in all the edges with the help of the stat. Take your time wound in hurry. If you want, you can pop this bubbles. Okay. So now we can add some decorative items like flowers or pebbles. So for that, see you in the next class. Thank you. 5. Start adding flowers and stones.: Hello, and welcome to the class again. Now we are going to add some flowers or decorative items like whatever you want. But I'm going to remove my hangls for that because it's really incomparable when we are adding, when we are adding some decorative items. So yes. But if you want, you can use a hangls, of course. I'm going to add this pink and the rose gold glitters like stones, first. Here we go. You can add this on one side. Okay. Okay, I'm adding staff pin too. Okay. And let us add some flowers. I'm adding this sun flow. And with the help of the stick, you can press it gently. As you can see, it's going inside now. That's it. These other colorful flowers which I'm going to use is purple, blue, pink. Yellow. I don't think the leaf will look more nice, so I'm putting this back again. Here we go. We have the flowers also. Presently Here we go. I think we are done with this. If you want to so, you can you can spread it in this way. Here we go. We are done now. Let it get dry and then after drying, we'll do the final touch ups. Yeah, S your next class. Thank you. 6. Demould and colour the edges for final work: Hello, and welcome to class again. So this is the final part. We need to de mold this. After de moolding the coaster I'm using. This marker paint markers, which is going to give you the final touch, of course. It's very simple to demold. You just need to remove the edges as you can see. It's easily coming out. You can see how pretty it looks all the flowers and the stones which we have used. There was already a lines and design of the flower in this coaster. So that's just the pattern it gives. Now let's start with the paint markers. So I'm going to use I think I a silver one. So let's start. Oh. Okay. So we are done now. As you can see, it's shining very brightly. I'm just loving it actually. God, I choose a silver color. See. Yes. Here we go. One more thing I want to tell you is you can use it as a coaster of course for the t, or you can just put this magnet behind this. Glue, and then you can stick it on the fridge or refrigerator or anything. It's going to look super. I hope you like this. Thank you so much. Bye bye. 7. It's your turn to make coaster: Hello, A. Welcome to this project section. In this project, you're going to apply the skills and techniques which you have learned in this class. This project is all about creating your own coaster, using your own techniques like adding the colors or embellishments which we have seen in the class, and that will indirectly reflect your personal ideas and creativity. Once you're done with this creativity, you can use it at home or give as a gift to your friends or even you can start selling starting as your own small business. For the project, I would like you to follow everything which I have taught in the class, and you can make your own resin coaster by adding the resin mixture. You can apply every technique used in the class. First of all, you have to choose your design, what design you want, if you want half light color, half dark color, or any ocean waves you want. The first part will be choosing your own design. Second will be, you have to gather all your materials like steering sticks, resin, harder cups, measuring cups, whatever you have, and also all the embellishments like glitter if you're using, if you're using the golden paper. Just gather all the materials, and then you have to prepare your workspace. I would suggest sit in the ventiltd area so that you can get enough light and positive energy. Then after doing that, put the resin into the mold and allow it to dry completely. Once it is dried, you can de mold it and you can color the edges to give it more beautiful effect. And last is share your work. I want you to take at least two to three photos of your work from different angle. Please share the description below like which technique you have used and what color mixing you have done. It will give the very clear idea about your work and creativity. And yes, I want to give you one tape that don't afraid if you want to use a bold colors. Because resin is forgiving and it will allow you to make anything with your own creativity. Second tape, please be patient because resin takes a lot of time. If you are in a hurry, it may lead to the imperfection. Start doing it and don't forget to share the project in the project gallery so that you can get your feedback of your work. Thank you. 8. Congratulations! It's a wrap !: Congratulations.

Remember, raising art is not about just following the steps, it's about experimenting. Start experimenting your own ideas, your own skills so that it can give personalized touch to your creativity. I encourage you to keep practicing, keep experimenting, and most of all, just have the fun. And yes, don't forget to share your piece of work with the community in the project section.
