Making Photo Tile Coasters

I bought some small square tiles a few months ago from my local Habitat for Humanity Re-store. I had the intentions of making these coasters but never got around to it. Luckily at this store they are only like 10 cents per tile. :)

NEEDED ITEMS:
Tile squares
Mod Podge
Photos
Scissors

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. I went online to the walgreens photo center and ordered 6 4x4 prints and picked them up.
2. Next depending on what size tiles you chose, you need to trim the photos so that the edges of the tiles show under the photos.

3. Cover the front of the tile with mod podge to adhere the photo. Once you have the mod podge place the photo to your liking and let dry.

4. Once they are dry, cover the photos with mod modge as well.

5. Let dry. After drying, I like to put a second coat just to make sure it is sealed well. Then you are done!!

If you would like, you can go to your local craft store and get small stick on felt circles to protect furniture from being scraped by the rough bottom surface of the tile. Another neat thing you can do is buy some little metal hanging hooks and hot glue them on so you can hang them! They look awesome that way too!
Enjoy!
