How to make tile coasters

Okay, to start your project you are going to want to cut your photo or paper to the size of the coaster.  Once you have done this, apply a thin layer of Modge Podge to the tile and then carefully place your photo or paper on it.  The Modge Podge doesn't dry super fast, so you have a time to straighten it out and adjust the placement if necessary.

Once you have it where you like it, apply another layer of Modge Podge on top of the picture or paper.  After it dries (10-15 min.) apply another layer of Modge Podge on top.  I usually do  2 or 3 layers of Modge Podge. After you have done applied all your layers of Modge Podge, use your clear acrylic sealer and spray a thin coat over the whole coaster, making sure to get the edges.  I put on 2-3 coats making sure to let it dry in between applications.

Once your coaster is completely dry, flip it over and hot glue your felt circles to the corners.  Flip it back over and enjoy a nice cold drink!
