Ingredients
- Coaster tiles (ceramic or cork)
- Acrylic paint (various colors)
- Pouring medium
- Plastic cup (for mixing)
- Stirring stick or spatula
- Heat gun or torch (for popping air bubbles)
- Plastic table cover (to protect your workspace)
- Gloves (to keep your hands clean)
- Masking tape (optional, for clean edges)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your table with a plastic table cover to avoid mess. Lay out all materials for easy access.
- Mix the Paint: In a plastic cup, combine your desired acrylic paint with pouring medium. Use a stirring stick to mix until it’s smooth, similar to pancake batter.
- Prepare the Coaster: If you’ll be using masking tape, apply it around the edges of the coaster for clean lines.
- Pour the Paint: Begin by pouring different colors on one side of the coaster. Layer the colors to create depth and interest, allowing them to flow into each other.
- Dutch Pour Technique: Tilt the coaster to allow the paint to spread across the surface. Optionally, use a heat gun or torch to pop air bubbles as you go.
- Let It Dry: Allow the coasters to dry completely according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure they are completely dry before handling or removing any tape.
