So take a look at what you need:

I purchased the 4 x 4 agora almond tiles from Lowe's, but you could really do any 4 x 4 tile that is not glossy and isn't to dark for the stamp to show.
All you have to do is stamp any image of your choosing onto the tile with StazOn ink and then let it dry for a few minutes. Then lightly apply a coat of sealer. I chose a glossy finish for mine, but matte would work just as well. Take caution to spray at a far distance and spray lightly otherwise your stamp could run. After the first coat has dried completely I like to add a second coat of sealer.

For the bottom of the tiles you need to use squares of sticky back felt or you could also stick on the circles of felt that are used for the bottom of legs on chairs. This way your coasters won't scratch any surfaces. Tie them up with a ribbon and you have one adorable gift (for you or a friend!)

These are so lovely. I made some similar tiles years ago and they have lasted forever - I use them as decorative tiles and I place little things on them like little Italian dishes, crystals, whatever. You have inspired me to make some more sometime!
ReplyDeletethese are adorable! thank you for sharing, I think i'll make some for christmas presents!!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I will definitely be making some of these!
ReplyDeleteI did these with my kids for Christmas gifts and I let them draw with Sharpies on travertine tiles. I also stamped but did not use StazOn and it worked out wonderfully. Still finished it all with a clear coat spray.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try making these for awhile now, yours look awesome! Hmmm, sometime I will get around to them :)
ReplyDeletewhat an adorable idea for a gift! Love it!

ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea....great for gifts!
ReplyDeletesoooooooooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea and so easy. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe have used the Stazon ink but not a sealant and they still have turned out nice. Also, if you want a nice smooth cork piece for the back--head to the automotive store! They sell rolls of really thin cork that works perfectly! I think it gives them a more polished look that way.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful coasters! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart unique idea! Will have to try this when I have a place of my own. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi - These are totally cute! Think this would work with baby handprints? Or would the Stayzon be dangerous to get on little hands? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this project! I would love to do this sometime with my ladies' group at church. I have been trying to work on a scrapping blog for newbies at http://scrapbook4newbies.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHopefully one day, I will get as good as you!
Love IT!! Now if I can just find the time to make some :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make these coasters and pair them with some bar glasses for Christmas gifts.
