In an attempt to come up with a really cool (and cheap) craft for camp, I started blog searching. I came up with several ideas but this one caught my attention. Tony and I did not get to go to camp (insert very sad face here), so I decided to create some coasters for myself (and practice for next summer's adventures). I really think the kids will like this craft next summer and it is so versatile.
Supplies:
Tiles
Scrapbook paper (4x4)
Initials (3.50 tall)
Corkboard
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
Clear Acrylic Matte Sealer
Vinyl
Transfer tape
Coasters
I got the ceramic tiles at Lowes. The white tiles are 4.25 x4.25 and very cheap $.16 each. The brown tiles were on the discontinued table and were $.48 each. I bought 10 of them and I wish I would have bought more. When I went back to get more, they were all gone…bummer.
Here is the scoop…
For the white tiles, I cut 4x4 pieces of scrapbook paper (I used the scraps from my previous project) and used Mod Podge to adhere them to the tile. I cut out the four different P’s with matching cardstock using my cricut and used Mod Podge to finish. After the tiles were dry, I gave them a couple of coats of clear matte finishing spray. Finally, I attached corkboard to the back with hot glue I love how they look!
For the brown tiles, I used brown vinyl and cut out the designs on my cricut using some cut files from Lettering Delights. I used transfer tape to get the proper placement. I put felt on the back of these tiles but the corkboard would work also.
I got this idea from Pinterest. If you have not tried pinterest, you really should. It is addicting. Click here for the website that I used as my guide for white tiles. Click here for the website I use for the brown tiles.
