DIY Personalized Coasters

Personalized coasters are perfect for any special holiday. They're cheap, practical and fun to make. You just need to pick up some plain ceramic tiles for a few cents and transform them into stylish coasters with your favorite decorative paper. You may also love that this project is 100% customizable, because you can mix & match with any paper you'd like. Personalized coasters are also perfect gift for someone special.

Here are what you need:
- 4 tiles each 4" (10 cm) square scrapbooking paper
- Scissors
- Mod Podge
- Foam brush
- Felt
- Hot glue gun
- Clear spray sealant

Here are the Instructions:
1. Cut out pieces of scrapbooking paper 3.5" across, to leave a small border around the edge.
2. Make sure the tiles are clean and dry. If they're greasy, then give them a wipe with methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol to clean them.
3. Coat the front of the tile with a thin layer of Mod Podge, then center and press a piece of scrapbooking paper to the tile. Let dry for 20 minutes.
4. Coat the top of the scrapbooking paper with a light coating of Mod Podge, brushing horizontally and then brushing vertically. Let dry for another 20 minutes.
5. Lightly coat again, sealing the top of the coaster and ensuring the photo is completely adhered to the tile.
6. Cut four small one-inch squares from the felt for each tile, and use a hot glue gun to stick one square of felt to each corner of the tile. Give the dry photo coasters a quick coat of clear spray sealant, which will completely moisture-proof the finished project.

This is how you make these personalized coasters. So easy!
