Mod Podge Coasters


You can buy tile pieces in thrift stores or maybe you have some left over in your home?  Cut out whatever pics you like from magazines, books, newspapers..... Have your idea in place before starting.  Dry fit your pieces so you have an idea where you want to glue them.


Mod podge the back of each piece and place them on your tile as you invisioned.  Make sure you roll out all the air bubbles (this is very important).  Let dry.
Place your self sticking stand pieces on the back, or glue them on.  You can also use pop bottle caps, buttons or whatever you have around the house so the tile doesn't sit directly on the table.  Or maybe you want them to sit on the table and don't want to glue anything on the back.  It's your creation, go wild!

Once dry and all the bubbles are out, mod podge over the entire tile.  Go in one direction, usually across, and don't be too stinby with it.  Try to make sure you get as many brush strokes out of it as you can but absolutely necessary.  Getting the right brush helps.


Let dry
 


Spray a couple coats of acrylic sealer on it and let dry.  Wala, coasters.  You can mod podge your kids pics on them for a gift, baby gift ideas, holiday ideas.....it's absolutely endless.  Total cost on this one, including buying the tile at a thrift store, .25 cents since I already had the podge and magazine. Fun gifts and fun fun for the kids too!
