Supplies needed:
- Mod Podge
- Tile
- Foam brush
- Decorative napkin
- Cork or other material for the bottom of the tile to protect your surface. (not pictured.)
Step 2: Remove the back ply of the napkin.
Step 3: Check to make sure there isn't another ply - having the thinnest possible top for your coaster makes a lot of different.
Step 4: Cut the napkin in the sections you want for each coaster.
Step 5: Making sure you're staring with a clean, dry tile, apply mod podge to the surface with a foam brush.
Step 6: After spreading the mod podge across the tile, apply the napkin to the surface and brush with another coat of mod podge.
Step 7: Once the first coat is completely dry, flip the tiles over and trim the edge of the napkin to within an 1/8th of an inch.
Step 8: Wrap the edge of the napkin around the side of the tile and apply another coat of mod podge to the entire tile. Repeat a few times.
Step 9: Apply the protective felt/cork to the tile and you've got a set of coasters.
Of course I love the "A" monogram! ;p

So cute!! Of course, I'm partial to the monogram. ;) These would make great Christmas gifts for sure. Visiting from The CSI Project. Hope you'll come by and say hi. :)
ReplyDeleteCute and so simple!
ReplyDeleteWow! I, too am partial to the monogram, haha! I would have NEVER guessed that those were napkins. Where did you find them? They would be a great gift.

This is great. I have been looking for tiles in a certain design for a table I have. Now I can expand my search to napkins and paper till I find the print I want. i suppose even fabric would work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great idea!
Okay, I realize that this tutorial was written over 3 years ago lol but I think this is a great idea and I'm in the process of trying it now but I am having THE worst problem with air bubbles! I'm so frustrated! Do you have any suggestions for this?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Is it necessary to put a waterproof coating over these?
