Ceramic Tile Coasters Mod Podge
Wipe away any mod podge that comes out the edges.
Ceramic tile coasters mod podge. Mod podge can get a little sticky and make cups stick to the coasters. Use mod podge to adhere the scrapbook paper or fabric to the top of your tile. Once the coasters are sprayed with the sealer they will no longer be tacky. 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.
That s where the clear acrylic sealer comes in. This is the back of the coaster and will allow you to move the tiles around without having to worry about scratching any tabletops. Spray the tops of the tiles with engine enamel or seal with minwax polycrylic. 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.
Cut felt and glue on bottom of tile. Paint a thin coat of mod podge onto a tile. Repeat for all of your tiles. Cut the felt squares to a similar size as the photos you cut for the top of the coasters.
Lay the photo onto the tile centering it and smoothing out all of the air bubbles. Place your tile over the scrapbook paper to draw a square that s the size of your tile. Allow tile to dry fully before you handle. After they dry here is what they look like.
Apply a light coat of mod podge to each tile with a sponge brush then center your paper on top. Don t lift it up once you get it on or it will rip and become a big ol mess. Work on one tile at a time use your fingers to press the paper nice and flat. Repeat with the other tiles and photos.
