I have a fun little DIY to share today! This project requires just a few supplies and is relatively quick to assemble, once you have everything laid out.
I originally found this craft on Pinterest last year (this original link is broken; you can find similar instructions here), and had wanted to make them for Christmas gifts. But time got away from me. I dug it out last week over the Labor Day holiday weekend, when my friend Katie and I decided to have a Girl’s Night In and craft (maybe I’m just getting older, but this is really an ideal way to spend a Friday night, haha!)
Supplies:
– 4×4-inch ceramic tiles (mine were leftovers from the kitchen backsplash in our previous home)
– Mod Podge
– Foam brushes
– Clear acrylic spray sealer
– Scrapbooking paper (could also use wrapping paper, wall paper scraps, greeting cards… whatever floats your boat!)
– Sticky-back felt or felt furniture pads
Directions:
Cut paper(s) into 4×4-inch squares; or trace your tile onto the paper for a more accurate measurement. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the tile, then lay a paper square on top and smooth it over. At this point, I flipped the tile over and trimmed off any excess paper. Once trimmed, apply another layer of Mod Podge over the paper. Let dry. Once dry, spray tiles with the clear acrylic sealer according to sealer instructions. Add felt pads to the bottom, and voila! You have a new set of coasters to keep or gift!
Bonus idea: Gift them with a mason jar of home-made hot cocoa or chai tea mix. Yum!
I got too caught up in wine and girl talk to remember to take pictures of the “During” process (sorry!). But here are some “glamour shots” of the “After”:
