Ceramic Tile Coasters Mod Podge

Use mod podge to adhere the scrapbook paper or fabric to the top of your tile.

Ceramic tile coasters mod podge.

Cut the felt squares to a similar size as the photos you cut for the top of the coasters. Apply a layer of mod podge to the tile and then place the felt in the center. That s where the clear acrylic sealer comes in. 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.

Place your tile over the scrapbook paper to draw a square that s the size of your tile. 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. Let dry then put another layer or two of mod podge on top. Allow tile to dry fully before you handle.

Lay the photo onto the tile centering it and smoothing out all of the air bubbles. Let dry at least 15 20 minutes. This is the back of the coaster and will allow you to move the tiles around without having to worry about scratching any tabletops. Mod podge can get a little sticky and make cups stick to the coasters.

Work on one tile at a time use your fingers to press the paper nice and flat. Cut felt and glue on bottom of tile. Repeat for all of your tiles. Don t lift it up once you get it on or it will rip and become a big ol mess.

Apply a light coat of mod podge to each tile with a sponge brush then center your paper on top. Wipe away any mod podge that comes out the edges. 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.
