Stone tiles found at the home center
Scrapbooking paper
Foam brush
Mod Podge
Clear spraypaint
Felt or cork
Glue
Step 1: Cut your scrapbooking paper to fit your tile square. I cut my paper a little bit shy of my tile so the edge of my paper would not hang over.
Step 2: Spread some Mod Podge onto the tile
Step 3: Place your paper on top of your tile and press firmly down making sure the paper is straight and has no air bubbles.
Step 4: Apply another coat of Mod Podge onto the top of the paper to seal it and make it waterproof
Step 5: Take your coasters outside and spray them with several thin coats of clear spray paint. This will help further seal them and give them a nice shine.
Step 6: Cut squares of felt or cork and attach with glue to the corners of the underside of your coasters to help protect your furniture.
Step 7: Stack and tie them up with a cute ribbon and gift!

I have tried this and had an issue with the cork sticking to the other tiles when stacked. What am I doing wrong? HELP!!
You need to make sure they dry between each step.
So easy, great idea! Will have to try this!
I made these two Christmases ago, when I first saw of them, gave to several people for gifts thruout the year… people went absolutely NUTS over them!! Just couldn’t get over it, and couldn’t believe that I made them, and not bought! Love that you can personalize them to the person and their likes, etc. Have actually been trying to think of anyone else I could make some more for this year… great, frugal idea, and actually kind of fun! 🙂
