Easy DIY Coasters

I love these coasters! They are fun to make, they don't take long, they are inexpensive, and they are useful...I use mine every day! This would be a fun project for older kids too. The original pin I saw them on is no longer a valid link, so I can't give you the source.


Here's what you'll need:

4x4 tiles from home depot ($0.16 each)
Scrapbook paper
Ruler, pencil, and scissors for cutting paper
Mod Podge
Paint brush
Clear spray paint
Adhesive felt circles

They are so easy!

1. Measure and cut your scrapbook paper into squares, slightly smaller than your tiles.
2. Use paint brush to put a little mod podge directly on a tile. Place scrapbook square on top and apply more mod podge. Smooth mod podge with paint brush. 
(Complete this step for all your coasters before going to step #3)
3. Take coasters outside and spray moderately with clear spray paint.
4. Let coasters dry until they don't smell like spray paint.
5. Apply small felt circles to the bottom corners of your coasters.

  3. I like the trivet idea...you could even get a bigger sized tile.
