Every year I fret over what to give my daughter’s teachers for the holidays. Last year, I started making their gifts and it was such a success that I’m doing it again this year.

A couple of weeks ago, I participated in a local art stroll and sold these coasters. In fact, I sold several of them… which leads me to believe that Juniper’s teachers will like them too.

You will need:

Bathroom tile
Decorative paper (I used scrapbook paper and a map; here’s a link to my favorite paper store), cut into squares
Paper cutter
Mod Podge
Glue brush
Felt, cut into squares
Tacky Glue
Crystal Clear Acrylic Spray (Gloss)

First, wipe all the tiles with a damp cloth to remove any dust/debris. Then cut paper into squares (for my standard sized tiles, I cut into 3 3/4 squares).

Lightly brush Mod Podge over tiles and place paper square on top; work out any air bubbles. Then lightly brush more Mod Podge over the papered tile to ensure edges are secure down.

Let the glue dry. After they’re dry, flip them over and glue the felt squares to the bottoms.

Finally, take the tiles outdoors and spray a coat of clear acrylic over the tiles. This will put a nice glossy finish on them and make them waterproof.

Voilà!
