DIY Monday

So it was a crazy weekend. Halloween on Friday and my dads and brothers birthday party yesterday with both sides of family over. Needless to say, the house was crazy. However, I did manage to add a new item to my etsy shop and complete this DIY project to have ready for today. So here it is- easy do it yourself coasters.

What you'll need:
Tiles- $0.39 from Rona
Clear Spray Paint
Paint Brush
Pictures
Modge Podge

To start find pictures that you want to use- they can be real or ones you find on the internet. Mine were from the internet. To size them to your coaster, paste them to word, and double click the picture. This opens the edit picture tab. In the top right corner click crop, aspect ration and one to one. Also change the size of the picture to 3.77 in in both boxes and print.

Once you have your picture cut out, paint a thin layer of Modge Podge on a tile and place your picture on trying to avoid air bubbles. I used my cricut scraper to get out any air bubbles. Once your picture is on where you want it, paint another layer of Modge Podge on top of the picture. Make sure to get the sides really well. Let dry until no longer sticky.

When your coaster is completely dry, spray the clear spray on top. Let dry completely and repeat. I usually do 3 layers just to be sure but 2 is totally fine. 

And there you have it. Your personalized, one-of-a-kind coasters. I made these as a house warming gift for my boyfriends best friend and he LOVED them!

They do make the perfect gift for anyone, especially if you use real pictures!
