Ave 21 Marketplace Easy Craft of The Day Tile Coasters http://ave21.com

Supplies:
Square Tiles = $0.16 each at Home Depot/Lowe’s
Scrapbook Paper & Stickers
Felt (I got the one with adhesive backing to save a step)
Mod Podge with foam brush
Clear Spray Coating
Step #1:  Apply the felt squares to the bottom of the tiles so that you aren’t scratching your furniture.  I purchased the felt with the adhesive backing to save the step of applying glue/adhesives and waiting to dry.  
Step #2:  Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the tile and then carefully lay your paper on top.  It’s a good idea to immediately smooth it down and work on the edges so that you don’t get a ribboning effect with bubbles.
Step #3:  Once the paper is in place, then apply a thin layer of Mod Podge directly overtop of the paper.  You can see below that there is a slight streaking if you put too much on.  It will generally dry and even out with the additional layers.
Step #4:  Apply at least 2 more coats of Mod Podge over-top and wait for it all to dry.
Step #5:  Spray a thin coating of clear spray over the tiles to give it a beautiful glossy look.   2 coats of the spray then waiting several days for them to air out and clear the pungent smell.
Step #6:  Prepare for delivery!  A great gift for a host/hostess or housewarming gift!
