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!
