Tile coasters are easy and fun to put together and make wonderful gifts! Best of all, they are inexpensive and functional!
Here's what you'll need:
Modge Podge (available at craft stores)
12x12 scrapbooking paper (scrap paper is fine too, you'll need 4x4 squares)
4x4 tiles (13 cents and up at home improvement stores)
foam brush
felt pads (any size, four per tile, found at Home Depot, Lowes etc.)
clear acrylic spray
Cut as many 4x4 pieces of scrapbooking paper as tiles. Using the foam brush, cover each tile with a thin layer of Modge Podge. Quickly press the paper unto the tile. Let the Modge Podge/paper dry for 15 minutes. Next, apply a thin layer of Modge Podge over the entire surface of the tile and paper. Let dry, then repeat. Finally, spray each tile with a thin layer of clear acrylic to seal. Add the felt pad to four corners of each tile and...Voila -water-resistant coasters that can be customized to match any season or decor!
I LIKE that! What a fun project.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could print photos on paper and use that?

oh that looks like fun! I need to do it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Janet! I bet you can! Copying the photos on regular paper and then decoupaging them would work! I even thought about using the weekly newspaper comics. Thanks for your comment!! :-)
