Homemade Gift Ideas #1

I think that homemade gifts mean more than gifts from the store. Especially when you have kids (grandparents always love picture of grand kids).

I did photo coasters for Christmas and they loved it. It's super easy to do. All you need is:

4x4 tiles
Mod podge
Clear acrylic high gloss coating spray
Photos
Sponge brush
Felt dots

Step 1: coat the back of the photo and press down on tile. Let it dry (very important)
Step 2: coat the front of the photo. Use even left to right stokes to avoid lines. Let it dry.
Step 3: repeat step 2 2-3 times and let it dry
Step 4: lay coasters on wax paper or cardboard box to spray acrylic spray. I would recommend 5 coats of spray (of course let it dry between each coat).
Step 5: place felt dots on the back of tiles and you're done!

Here's the tiles of all the grand kids. My mom and grandmother were very happy.
