Ceramic Tile Coasters Mod Podge

Allow tile to dry fully before you handle.

Ceramic tile coasters mod podge.

To make these coasters you get some 4 1 4 square ceramic tiles from a home improvement store like home depot and decoupage scrapbook paper to them using a product called mod podge. Apply a light coat of mod podge to each tile with a sponge brush then center your paper on top. Place your tile over the scrapbook paper to draw a square that s the size of your tile. Repeat for all of your tiles.

Apply a layer of mod podge to the tile and then place the felt in the center. Spray the tops of the tiles with engine enamel or seal with minwax polycrylic. Once the coasters are sprayed with the sealer they will no longer be tacky. Use mod podge to adhere the scrapbook paper or fabric to the top of your tile.

After they dry here is what they look like. Lay the photo onto the tile centering it and smoothing out all of the air bubbles. Paint a thin coat of mod podge onto a tile. Let dry at least 15 20 minutes.

The ceramic tiles are super duper affordable usually sold for about 10 cents apiece and if you have lots of odds and ends of scrapbook paper you might have to fight the urge to make like 50 coasters. This is the back of the coaster and will allow you to move the tiles around without having to worry about scratching any tabletops. Wipe away any mod podge that comes out the edges. Work on one tile at a time use your fingers to press the paper nice and flat.

Let dry then put another layer or two of mod podge on top. Cut felt and glue on bottom of tile. That s where the clear acrylic sealer comes in. Mod podge can get a little sticky and make cups stick to the coasters.
