SUPPLIES FOR YOUR PHOTO COASTER DIY:
SKILL LEVEL: EASY
- ModPodge ( this will last for years….you will use this in so many projects)
- ModPodge Spray Gloss
- Tiles (4.25″)
- Foam Brush
- Scissors
- Printed Color Photos (use plain computer paper)
STEP 1: Print out photos to about 1/4″ smaller than the size of your tiles.
(So, for a 4 1/4″ tile you would print out a photo size of 4″)
(IMPORTANT: Print on regular computer paper.)
STEP 2: CUT OUT EACH PHOTO
…and as an added touch I rounded the corners. This is optional, of course.
STEP 3:
Brush on a layer of ModPodge to the smooth side of the tile.
STEP 4: Position the photo onto the center of tile.
STEP 5: Gently brush the photo with ModPodge all the way to the edge of the tile.
SUPER IMPORTANT: DON’T RUB the foam brush over the photo or it will bleed and that would be a big bummer!
Now, if you are inpatient like me, you want to wrap these cuties up already!
Wait… you need to give your photo coasters a little time to dry.
So… grab a cup of tea and relax before adding another coat of Mod Podge.
Holy cuteness! I know what you’re thinking.
I should make another set for myself!
You go girl!!! I’m with you 100%
My motto is “one for you and one for me.” …Hee hee!!
We are almost done with your DIY!
Let’s seal these adorable DIY Photo Coasters.
All you need is to spray a thin coat of Gloss as an added protection.
This will make them water resistant.
STEP 6: Now hot glue some felt corners to the bottom of your photo coasters.
Don’t forget…
Let all your tiles dry completely before adding the felt corners to the bottom.
QUICK TIP…You can use scrap material you may have around your craft room.
Now, just add a special note to your Mama…..
Wrap your Photo Coasters DIY with a cute ribbon.
And you’ve got yourself an awesome Mother’s Day Gift!
