DIY Photo Coasters

Here I want to share a fun and inexpensive DIY photo coasters project with you.

Supplies:

– 4×4 white ceramic tiles
-  4×4 printed photos
– Mod Podge
– Small, 1-inch foam brush
– Self-adhesive felt pads
– Washi tape

Instructions:

Step 1: Apply 1 coat of Mod Podge to front of tile
Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the front of each tile, making sure to spread it all the way to the edges.

Step 2: Place photo on the wet Mod Podge
Place a photo on top of the wet coat of Mod Podge from step 1, and let it dry for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Apply 3 coats of Mod Podge to back of tile
This part is a little tricky with the washi tape. When you apply your first coat of Mod Podge to the back of the coasters, it may seem like the the tape is starting to unstick from the coaster. Just wait about 5 minutes until the first coat of Mod Podge has started to dry and become tacky, and press the washi tape down with your finger. Wait about 15 minutes in between each coat of Mod Podge.

Step 4: Apply 3 coats of Mod Podge to front of tile
Apply 3 coats of Mod Podge, again waiting about 15 minutes between each coat. Apply each coat as a thin layer, making sure to wrap all the way around to the sides, and smoothing out the front. It’ll look very opaque until it dries, but rest assured that it will dry clear!

Step 5: Stick felt pads to the bottom of each coaster
The felt pads just help to make sure that the coasters don’t scratch your table. Step 6: Let sit for 3 days before using It’s normal for Mod Podge to feel tacky for several days after it dries. If you wait about 3 days, you’ll give the coasters plenty of time to seal completely & make sure no water will seep in.

I love the way these personalized coasters turned out. They are so great!

Make Fruit and vegetable Bags

When I go out to the grocery store or farmers markets to buy the fruits or vegetables, I often use the plastic to hold them. It is wasteful and environmentally-unfriendly. So I think I should solve this issue with making some cool re-usable bags. Finally I decide to make the tote bag from the flour bag. It is recycled, durable and a great alternative to plastic!

DIY Baby Bib from Old Jean

How do you usually deal with the old jeans? Just throw them away? Actually you don't need to do so. There is a great way to recycle some of those old jeans.They can be used to make wonderful baby bibs. Here is how to make the western style baby bibs.

1.Cut up one seam of the jean leg. Open the leg and place the center of the pattern over the center of the uncut leg seam. Pin and cut out the baby bib.

2. Then place the contrasting fabric (right side up) over the baby bib (right side up), matching the corner of the contrasting fabric to the center bottom of the bib. Pin the contrasting fabric in place and cut along the edge of the blue jean fabric, using the baby bib or pattern for the contrasting fabric.

3. Next use a zig-zag stitch and machine stitched approximately ½ inch all around the bib edge.

4. Sew on Velcro for my closure and add a cute star applique from contrasting fabric.

5. Lastly, snip the entire bib edge close to the zig-zag stitching, also snip the bottom edge of the contrasting fabric. Wash and dry the bib which gives the fraying effect.

These personalized baby bibs are just so cute and wash up so nice making them very functional.
