DIY Coasters

We have started drawing names for Christmas in my family because it just keeps expanding!

I have my Mom this year and she mentioned she would like some coasters for outside on the patio furniture.

I'm sharing this project now because my mom doesn't seem to mind if she knows ahead of time what her present is...I am not this way, but she is, so I'm going with it :)

So, I bought card stock that I think my mom will really like and I happened to have all of the other necessary components.

Supplies:

• tiles (got mine from Lowe's because it's closest, but can be found at other places too!)
• mod podge
• brush for mod podge
• card stock
• exacto knife or scissors to cut card stock
• felt pads
• clear spray paint

Step 1:  Cut card stock to desired size (didn't get a picture of this step)

Step 2:  Apply mod podge to tile

Step 3:  Place card stock on tile after mod podge has been applied - be sure to press paper down all around & get any creases/bubbles out

Step 4:  Let dry for about 10 minutes

Step 5:  Apply a coat of mod podge on top of card stock

Step 6:  After letting the previous coat dry, apply about two more coats (allowing about 15 min. between each coat to make sure it's dry & ready)

Step 7:  When the last coat is dry, grab your clear spray paint and put a layer on

Step 8:  Allow for the spray paint to dry and then put one more coat on

Step 9:  Place a felt pad in each corner and you're done!

Finished Product:

The super cute tag?

Found it here & I LOVE it.

It's a 'Naughty or Nice Tag' - would be adorable for the little ones.

Dusty & I did this project a while ago as well and made coasters for ourselves.

We made our own designs on ours and here's what they look like:

We have gotten A LOT of use out of them and of course, we love how inexpensive they were :)

AND you have to love the fact that you can make them look however you would like!
