Brew up some chilling color combinations by creating your own custom resin coasters, like these cute pieces. Simply paint some classic Halloween iconography onto the coasters and apply another clear coat to create unmistakably festive coasters for you and your friends. Coasters are a fantastic resin craft that can be customized as much as you wish, especially since you can include encapsulations such as glitter!

Halloween Hearts Tumbler

This cute tumbler offers a playful spin on traditional seasonal elements by incorporating spooky text in heart shapes reminiscent of Valentine's Day candies. We love the way this tumbler seamlessly combines two wildly different aesthetics - pastel colors and petrifying phrases - to create something that is truly one of a kind. 

So we know epoxy is naturally a self-leveling material. Which begs the question...how on earth do you epoxy a tumbler when it has a curved surface? For tumbler projects you're to want to use a tumbler turner. You CANNOT dip a tumbler in resin and expect it to level evenly. A tumbler turner must be used. Here's one of the best that we recommend checking out for your tumbler projects - MH Tumbler Turners.

 

Pumpkin Table Decor

We love the way this maker put their spin on this resin pumpkin. Sure, real pumpkins only come in certain colors - but reality doesn't mean you have to limit your crafting choices! If there's a particular palette for your autumn home decor, don't let anything hold you back. Whether you'd rather create a coastal pumpkin or prefer a more standard gourd, resin is compatible with a variety of colorants, so you will surely be able to find the perfect shade.  


 

Resin Pumpkins

These adorable resin pumpkins can bring a sparkling autumn vibe to any surface in your home. Use mica powders, alcohol or alcohol inks to cast them in a variety of colors; you can even add inclusions like glitter, flowers, or stones to make the perfect pumpkin, and no... adding inclusions won't affect the durability of your project!

The great thing about using resin to create "glass like" decor like this is that even if you bump it and it drops to the floor it won't break! Don't believe us, check out the fun durability test we did with our resin here (we literally threw it against a concrete wall).
