Tile Coasters

I just made some coasters and wanted to share them with you! Too bad I didn't do this at Christmas time...they would have made really cute gifts! Oh well...maybe next year:)
Anyway...these were so easy to make!!! Here is what you need:

1. Tumbled tiles, 4x4's (they come 9 to a box at Home Depot and cost $5 or $6)
2. Stamps
3. Stazon ink...color Timber Brown
4. Distressed ink (optional)...color brushed corduroy
5. Sponge
6. Spray adhesive so the water from the cup won't ruin them
7. Cork for the bottom

First wipe down each tile (there is a powder on all of them).
Then stamp away with the stazon ink.
I then used the distressed ink and sponge and inked the edges and the whole tile to make it looke a little distressed.
Let the ink dry.
Then preheat the oven to 330 degrees and bake them for about 3 minutes.
After that, spray with the adhesive. (Spray this stuff outside!! On top of newspaper!!)
When it is all dry, put some cork board on the bottom (it is sticky on one side, so just cut it to the right size and stick it on)
That's it! Very easy!! Hope you have fun making them!

What a great idea! I love them. I'll have to try it out sometime soon. I'm looking for ideas of must dos for my sister in law's baby shower. This is her first and she is having a girl. I know you are the idea woman. If you get a chance please respond on my blog!

Hi Summer, I am back! I looked up those recipe boxes for the YW~ ADORABLE!!! I love them. ♥ You are pretty amazing. I think that I might try to duplicate those {though i am sure that they won't reach your level of cuteness...}
You are talented!
