Handmade Holiday: Photo Coasters

Hi Shine Project friends!

I am Lindsay, the girl behind the blog,

Lee La La

I am so excited to be a part of Ashley's Handmade Holiday Series!

I believe handmade gifts are the best of gifts because they come straight from the heart.

With that being said,
I want to share a fun DIY project with you.

One that will make the perfect gift idea for anyone on your list.

DIY Photo coaster project

Supplies:

4″x4″ tile coasters

white tissue paper
printer
scotch tape
scissors
Mod Podge (Matte or Gloss)
paint brush
Krylon acrylic clear coat
black felt with adhesive backing

Let’s get to work!

1. Print out a 4×6 photo onto white tissue paper.

To help the tissue feed thru your printer, Cut out an 8×10 piece of tissue paper and scotch tape it to a piece of 8×10 card stock.

2. Cut your tissue print down to 4″x4″

3. Brush a thin coat of Mod Podge over your tile and paste your photo onto the tile. Let dry COMPLETELY!

4. Once dry, put a thin coat of Mod Podge over your photo. Let dry completely.
Repeat 2 more times, making sure each coat is dry before you do another, or else the tissue will rip.

5. Once dry, seal with Kylon acrylic clear coat. I did 3 coats of this, making sure the previous coat is dry before you add another.

6. To complete the coaster, cut out a 4″x4″ piece of black felt. and attached it to the back.

7. Project Complete!

Wrap up 4 coasters with some ribbon or twine and you have a wonderful GIFT!

*I’ve done this project with gloss mod podge and matte mod podge.
Although completely different looks, both look fantastic.
