Coasters!

I've been seeing tutorials for these all over the place and so I had to try them. Cheap + Easy = My Kind of Craft.

You'll need 4x4 tiles. I got these from Home Depot in the bathroom tile aisle for 16 cents each. I bought 6, and the lady at the register had to ring each one up by punching in the serial number or whatever. Had I bought 10 she would have had to enter it only once. Next time I'm getting at least 20.

You'll also need Mod Podge, Craft paper (or whatever you want to use), foam, silicone glue (I used the kind I use for my marble magnets) and a brush of some sort. I used a foam brush.

Start by cutting out squares of paper that are 4x4. You'll want them to be just slightly smaller than the tiles but luckily 4x4 tiles are actually slightly larger than 4x4. If anyone knows why, I'd love to hear it.

Next you want to lay your tile down on a flat surface and Mod Podge it. See that mad blur? That's my hand as it layeth the Mod Podge down. You want to work kind of fast and get the paper down on the Mod Podge as quickly as possible and smooth it out so there are no air bubbles. Air bubbles don't go away once the paper is attached and the Mod Podge dries quickly.

Do I really have that many rings on? Wow. Anyway, once you get the paper attached, let it dry a few minutes and then add a layer of Mod Podge on top to seal it. You want to do 3 coats total, and let it dry about 10-20 minutes between coats. Go feed your children or something.

These came out so pretty. Once they are dry, glue a 4x4 piece of foam (or cork or felt) to the back with silicone sealer. If you want to give them as gifts tie them up in a stack with a pretty ribbon.
