Blauwhim Cloisonné DIY Coaster Kit — Great Waves edition, 2 Walnut Coasters with Enamel & Resin Finish

Create two museum-style cloisonné coasters inspired by The Great Waves with Blauwhim’s beginner-friendly DIY kit.

Blauwhim’s Cloisonne Kit — Great Waves edition brings traditional filigree enamel technique into a compact, easy-to-follow craft set. Everything needed to make two decorative walnut coasters is included: coloured enamels, metal wire for cloisonné outlines, adhesive and fixative, a complete epoxy resin set, plus tools and clear step-by-step instructions. The project is designed so crafters with no prior cloisonné experience can complete a durable, functional work of art suitable for home use or gifting.

How does the kit guide a beginner through cloisonné?

The instructions break the process into clear steps: forming metal filigree, applying enamel within the wire cells, sealing, and finishing with resin. Each stage includes visual cues and safety tips so newcomers can learn technique without guessing. Tools are sized and selected for coaster-scale work, making controlled, tidy results accessible.

• Step-by-step illustrated guide for shaping wire and filling enamel
• Pre-cut materials for two walnut coaster bases to reduce prep time
• Beginner-friendly tools: painting knife, tweezers, scissors, stirring sticks
• Epoxy resin kit and gloves for a professional glossy finish

What materials and tools come in the box?

The kit supplies premium components chosen for both aesthetics and durability, including two walnut coaster blanks and multiple enamel colours to reproduce the Great Waves design. Metal wire in silver and gold tones creates the cloisonné filigree, while adhesives and fixatives secure pieces during assembly. All measuring and application accessories are included so you won’t need extra purchases.

• 2 walnut coaster bases and five enamel colours for layered shading
• Silver and gold wire for filigree outlines and decorative accents
• Fixative, craft glue, epoxy resin kit, measuring cup, and spray bottle
• Full tool set: palette, painting knife, tweezers, scissors, stirring sticks, gloves

How long does a finished coaster take and what’s the finish like?

Active working time for one coaster typically ranges from 1–3 hours depending on detail and dry times; adding curing time for fixative and epoxy extends total completion to a couple of days. The resin topcoat produces a glossy, durable surface that protects enamel and wood, resisting light spills and everyday use while enhancing colour depth and contrast.

• Typical crafting session: 1–3 hours of active work per coaster
• Allow for fixative and resin curing—expect a 24–48 hour full cure
• Final finish: high-gloss resin that guards against moisture and wear
• Coasters are functional decor—suitable for light household use

What creative options can I customize?

Although the kit includes a Great Waves motif, you can adapt colours, wire placement, or accent metals to create a personalised variation. The tools and extra materials support experimentation: add metallic accents, subtle gradients, or mix enamel shades to produce new effects. This flexibility makes the set ideal for learning technique while expressing individual style.

• Mix and blend enamels to alter waves and foam tones
• Use silver or gold wire to change contrast and highlight details
• Add extra resin layers for depth or embed small decorative bits
• Create matching sets or complementary pieces with leftover materials

Who is this for: Blauwhim’s Cloisonne Kit is made for creative adults, teens, hobbyists, and gift-givers who want a hands-on introduction to filigree enamel work without specialist equipment. It suits anyone looking for a mindful, skill-building craft that produces attractive, usable art—perfect as an artistic weekend project, a thoughtful present, or a new hobby to develop fine-motor skills and colour sense.
