Upcycled Agate Coaster

 

 

While shopping at Goodwill, I found this:

My mom was with me and assumed it was a gag gift!  I saw past the dated look and hoped I could upcycle it.

I've seen agate coasters for sale everywhere and they're pretty expensive, so I knew exactly the look I was going for.

I used a flat head screwdriver to pry up the very-securely glued dolphin.

Then I also used the screwdriver to chip away at the pinkish glue residue.

Then I cleaned it up  and used my gold leaf pen on the edges.
