Tile Coasters!!!

I love coasters and yet I don't own very many.  Gabrielle and I sat down together and made these last week:



Step 1: Take out some tiles and cut squares out of scrapbook paper.  We made our squares a little smaller than the size of the tiles.   Step 2: Apply Mod Podge to the top of the tiles.   Step 3: Place your scrapbook paper square onto the Mod Podged tile.   Step 4: Apply Mod Podge on top of your scrapbook paper square and let it dry.  (I think we are going to apply spray-on sealer on the next batch just to make double sure they are well sealed.)


Step 5: Cut a square out of non-slip shelf liner.   Step 6: Apply Mod Podge on the back of your tile.
Step 7: Stick your non-slip shelf liner square onto the back of the tile.


Result:



We think they turned out pretty cute and they were SUPER EASY to make!  
What do you think?

Have a FABULOUS day!!


P.S. I'm linking at these Parties.

So cute! I guess the pink one is for me when I visit ;-) I just gave in and bought some that I liked because I absolutely didn't have any more energy for another project, but needed some coasters.

This is such a fun project. I love the idea of the shelf liner on the back. You are so smart to include that.

I am going to make some!

Amanda said...

I love love love the colors and patterns that you picked out... I made coasters like these once, but I used a damask print wrapping paper (they were for a themed bridal shower) and the results were terrible. Wrapping paper is just way too thin for the project! I really need to get around to trying another set, this time with a better paper like cardstock or something.

I would love it if you would link up at Martha Mondays, open now through Wednesday night!

LOVED this. And it was SO simply described, I ran out and made 4 - using ModPodge I bought 10 years ago for a project I never did.

They turned out amazing, even for someone as crafty-challenged as I am, and I plan to buy some (new) Mod Podge to make more for friends.

Thanks!

Sam said...

These are beautiful! Never seen them using the shelf liner before- great idea!

Nicole@Show Off Friday said...

Those look great! I'm just stopping in from this gal cooks.

Christine Wright said...

You know, no other coaster tutorial I've seen has mentioned anything about applying something to the back to make it "non-slippery." I love how your tiles turned out, but I'm always impressed by repurposing an item!

Christy said...

I love these. The vibrant colors of the paper are awesome. I would love it if you would link up to my three co-host party going on right now. Tip toe thru Tuesday. I hope to see you there.

Love the idea of using shelf liner instead of the usual felt squares! These would make great gifts.
