DIY Photo Coasters

These are great for a gift and super easy to make.

What You'll Need:

4 pictures (I printed mine in Sepia)

paper cutter

tiles

mod podge

water-proof sealant

rubber cement

cork

I got this pack of tiles at Home Depot for about $4 and it includes 9 tiles (two sets of coasters). 

Then I cut my pics slightly smaller then the size of the tile.

I then covered the front of the tile in mod podge and even put some on the back of the photo.

I adhered the photo to the tile.

Once I did all four, I then went back and mod podged the tops of all the photos. I did about 3 coats, allowing them to dry each time.

To make sure they were functional, I covered them one last time with a water-proof sealant (this one I found at Michael's, but any would do).

Once completely dry (I let mine dry overnight), I adhered the cork bottoms. I found the cork at Hobby Lobby in a roll.  I layed it out flat and measured squares the same size as the pictures (slightly smaller than the tiles).  Then I used my paper cutter to cut out each piece.

I used rubber cement to stick them on the bottom of the coasters.

Again let dry overnight and your done!

These would be an awesome wedding or birthday gift as well.
