The LiaDia Designs Dandelion Origin Story:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 2019, Nadia from LiaDia Designs has been hand-painting these beautiful coasters for her customers. Hard to believe these coasters started out as an "oops" or "making lemonade" as Nadia refers to them...and ended up becoming a resin coaster trend online for the past 2 years!
In this tutorial, Nadia shows you her step by step process.
To learn the story behind the origin of these coasters, check out LiaDia Designs' instagram (post date Nov 8 2019) Enjoy!

[@michellewhitelam1807]

Absolutely gorgeous iv worked my way through all your videos hehe 😉, you are such an inspiration iv made some washi tape sets and had a go at the dandilion on a greeny background, I used the same paint marker you use its definitely going to take practice to get the pressure right some were much thicker than others hehe, but I love the clear style ones definitely a next project thank you soooo much ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

@@LiaDiaDesigns Actually Nadia I was trying to pick a favorite but I loved them all. So elegant and unique 🤍🤍

[@estherrawlins]

Wow. Absolutely beautiful. I would like to give this a try. I would like to know what the flood coat is. How you added it to the coasters. I tried the coasters with the washi tape. It’s not neat like yours but I will continue to practice until I get better.

[@pouringthroughlifebyshanno1350]

So pretty!!! Love these! I might have to try this!

[@sunitasuri7626]

Awesome coasters. Each one is so unique. I have a dandelion mold with the groves but it is a pain to fill them in after the coasters are cured. I like what you have just taught . I am ordering a whole lot of molds from the website you have suggested. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely day. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼🌸🌸🌸🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

So glad you like them! If you can get familiar with handpainting the dandelions, I think you'll enjoy the finished look a lot more than the engraved mold. 💕

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I hope you used the discount code! Enjoy!

[@sunitasuri7626]

@@LiaDiaDesigns I used it on the Phoenix but for the resin one your code it not work. I spent a ton on molds today!!! I think I am going to take your advise and paint though please know I am not an artist. I am just starting after retiring. You are an expert. So it is more of a hobby . I make things and give them away as gifts!!!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

@@sunitasuri7626 did you say that you tried to order the resin but the code didn't work?

[@SandyBeachBumTM]

To fill in the grooves, just paint the whole coaster with white acrylic paint and then wipe off... it will stay in the grooves. Then seal with resin.

[@Erikahogar_y-mas]

I love it 🥰

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

thank you! so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Awesome sauce!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Thank you!

[@lindao7887]

These are exquisite!!! Question: After the Pabeo dries, could you use your UV resin with some glitter for the centers - cure it, then top coat with the epoxy resin? (that is if you can't run out and buy the gloss varnish)

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Technically yes, but remember that uv resin yellows much faster than 2 part epoxy resin

[@lindao7887]

@@LiaDiaDesigns I've never had a problem - so far -with JDiction UV resin yellowing, time will tell though.

[@mywifetheartist]

These are beautiful. I wonder if Amsterdam Pearl White would work in one of those applicators?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

most acrylics will likely work - really depends on their viscosity

[@dianep3071]

All beautiful but the gold ones are my fav. And I’m not much on gold

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰thank you

[@tammy1174]

Hi, I was looking for the pebeo outliners. Are they vitrail and vitrea the same? Thanks!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I only know of vitrea and cerne relief... not sure of the other...

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Vitrail is also a liquid brush paint... so there's a good chance it would work... maybe see if there are any instructions for it

[@Iamdoinme]

I notice that you use different ratios in your videos! How do you normally know how much to use per coaster especially when applying glitter? Thank u in advance!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

So for coasters... I know how much my molds can hold... so if I'm handpainting, I usually pour half the amount (or slightly less) for the base... then I have room to play with for the top coat and flood coat (if I choose to add)

[@resalo9272]

Beautiful as Always. Also I love the way you're able to use the bottom of the cups for the glitter. Do you wipe them with a paper towel and reuse or just let them dry & flip them over to use for mixing?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Thank you! I usually just leave them to dry... lol

[@karenzentgraf7274]

Hi. What type of the counter couture do you use? They have a variety of brands. Thanks so much!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I have both their Artist Thin and Medium... both are similar, but I prefer the Thin for my simple layered pours

[@sherriboswell8918]

Love your videos. What is a flood coat after you unmold the coasters? And how do you do that?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

thank you! it's adding another thin layer of resin once it out of the mold... here's a video where I show the process ... you can fast forward to around the 17 minute mark ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jouWYZ98rNqdbZI

[@beckywilliams9953]

I do have a question how much resin do I need to purchase to make a set? And do the molds come in sets?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

it really depends on your mold... for my plain agate molds, each coaster mold takes almost 3oz of resin. ShopResinMolds sells agate molds, I believe some are in sets

[@beckywilliams9953]

@@LiaDiaDesigns thank you

[@alexandragomez5768]

Absolutely beautiful! What resin do you use for your flood coat?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I used Counter Culture DIY

[@karenzentgraf7274]

Whoops. Just hears you say medium viscosity. It's the art resin type right? Not uv?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Yes their Artist line... if you just want resin for pouring (layers etc) and not necessarily for special effects... go with Thin, less issues with bubbles... the thicker the resin, the higher chance for bubbles

[@robertetanghe6256]

Bonjour,c’est merveilleux ce que vous faites j’ai essayé mais les paillettes du milieu s’en vont partout est-ce que vous laisser poser votre résine avant de l’employer pourriez-vous me répondre svp de Belgique et encore bravo je n’arrive pas a vôtre cheville

[@marisoltiznado4412]

Podría ser en español?

[@Roxy4utube]

These are so lovely Nadia! Question, if I may. How do you protect the bottom of the coaster when doing your flood coat? And do the sides remain smooth if the resin drips over the sides? Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! 😊🙏👏🏻🐇💓💕 ( I am bunnyrhart4u on IG - Roxy is my awesome Parrot. 😊)
