Tile Coasters

Looking for another way to hand make a Christmas gift? Just purchase some plain tiles at a local hardware store, and use Staz-On ink and your favorite stamp sets to dress them. Here are just a few of the ones I have made. In two days I was able to make 80 coasters, that is the amount of tile that comes in one box. 40 of them were made with stamped images, and another 40 were made using Designer Series Paper. I packaged them in groups of four. I will show some of the ones made with Designer Series Paper tomorrow

Tied with ribbon to keep them secure and easy way to package.

 

 

To make the tile coasters, I first cleaned each tile off to make sure there were no oils or dirt on them.  I then took my stamps and using StazOn Ink, I stamped on my images and left them dry overnight.  I then sealed them by using a clear acrylic sealer that I purchased at a local craft store.  I sprayed on two light coats, waiting about an hour in between each one.  After the sealer was dry, I turned them over and put little felt pads in the corners.  I then tied them up in pretty ribbon.  So simple, but yet a really nice gift not just for Christmas, but for any occasion.
