Handmade resin coasters serve as personalized tokens of appreciation to your bridesmaids for their support and participation in your wedding. They also serve as a stylish and practical souvenir of the special occasion. Use these creative design ideas for bridesmaid resin coasters for the perfect bridesmaid gifts.
Personalized Name Resin Coasters
Incorporating each bridesmaid’s name into the design can be a fun and heartfelt way to show your appreciation. To make the names stand out, consider using different colors, metallic pigments, or even glitter.
You can either paint the names onto the surfaces of the coasters or use vinyl lettering. Experiment with various fonts, sizes, and styles to suit each personality and create a unique coaster for every bridesmaid.
You can use the same technique to put other types of messages on the coasters. Consider writing the bride’s initials, the wedding date, or a short, meaningful quote instead.
Photo-Embedded Resin Coasters
Another creative idea is photo-embedded design that will make your bridesmaids feel nostalgic every time they look at their resin coasters. To make this keepsake, start by selecting the best photo—either a group shot or an individual picture of each bridesmaid.
Print the photos on high-quality paper, preferably with a laser printer, and seal them with a clear acrylic spray to prevent any ink transfer. Next, place the sealed photo on a prepared coaster base, pour the resin on top, and spread it evenly to ensure no air bubbles are trapped beneath the surface.
Floral-Themed Resin Coasters
Choosing flowers that match the wedding theme can bring a vibrant and harmonious feel to your bridesmaid resin coasters. First, you’ll want to ensure the flowers are completely dry to prevent any mold growth within the resin.
Position the flowers on a coaster base before pouring the resin, using tweezers or a toothpick for precise placement. When creating your own DIY resin coasters, you must also consider whether you want clear or tinted resin. You can adjust the color saturation by using less mica powder pigment for sheer color or more pigment for opaque color.
Have fun customizing resin coasters with your bridesmaids’ names, their photos, or dried flowers. Each handmade design has a distinct charm and serves as a cherished reminder of your gratitude for your loved one.
Until Next Time…
