Tile Coaster Tutorial

Come and enjoy this easy tutorials from Blue Print Crafts 

For this tutorial, you’ll need:

a set of tiles,

some scraps of scrapbooking paper or any kind of paper really, 

some mod podge, 

clear acrylic spray, 

felt pads for the bottom.

First, cut and measure you paper to the fit your tile.  The tiles I purchased were 4.25″ x 4.25″ so I cut my paper to 4″ squares.

Next, clean and dry your tiles – they are much easier to work with if you clean them off thoroughly.  After you have dried them off, apply a thin coat of mod podge to your tiles, place your decorative paper on top and smooth out all bubbles.  Allow this to dry for about 15 minutes, then apply 2 – 3 more coats allowing each coat to dry adequately.

After you’ve applied your mod podge top coats, take your tiles out to a well ventilated area and apply two coats of your acrylic spray (I sprayed mine outside in the grass).  The acrylic needs only a few minutes between coats to dry, then stick your felt pads on the bottom – one to each corner.   And if all goes well, you’ll come up with something like this!

Cute right!  And best of all CHEAP!  They are a great housewarming party, or hostess gift.  And they take very little time and effort – my kind of craft!
