Mod Podge Tile Coaster

We have been in South Texas for about three and a half weeks now and I am finally settling in.  A week or so ago my neighbor (a fellow Navy wife) came over and saved me from boredom.  We took a trip, actually several, to Hobby Lobby and got supplies to make these cute Mod Podge tile coasters.  They were quick, simple, easy, cheap and cute! After I made them I texted Emily right away to tell her about this simple and cute craft! I miss crafting with her!



Supplies:

Bone color tile from Lowes (19 cents a piece)
Mod Podge
Cocktail sized drink napkins
Glossy spray sealant (located in the same case as spray paint at Hobby Lobby)
Glue gun
cork backing
sponge brush

Directions:

1) Peel apart the layers of the napkin so you just have the top layer.
2) Cut a square out of the napkin that is big enough to cover the top and sides of the tile
3) Spread a layer of Mod Podge on the tile using a sponge brush
4) Carefully lay your napkin piece on the tile with little to no wrinkles
5) Let it set 5-10 minutes then dab another layer of Mod Podge on the top of the napkin and on the sides. (You may need to use your finger for the sides)
6) Let the tile sit over night and then spray with the sealant
7) Hot glue cork to the back of your tile

TIP: Cover your crafting table with newspaper and sit the tiles on plastic cups while Mod Podging and drying. ALSO, napkins with more color show fewer wrinkles!
