Tile Coasters

I just wanted to share a quick craft that would be perfect for Christmas gifts. I made a million of them this year for my husbands co-workers. You can personalize them however you want. They look great stacked on top of each other and tied with a bow.

Anyway...these were so easy to make!!! Here is what you need:

1. Tumbled tiles, 4x4's (they come 9 to a box at Home Depot and cost $5)
2. Stamps
3. Stazon ink
4. Distressed ink (optional)
5. Sponge
6. Spray adhesive so the water from the cup won't ruin them
7. Cork for the bottom...the kind that is like a sticker on the bottom.

First wipe down each tile (there is a powder on all of them). Then stamp away with the stazon ink. I then used the distressed ink and sponge and inked the edges and the whole tile to make it looke a little distressed. Let the ink dry. Then preheat the oven to 335 degrees and bake them for about 4 minutes. After that, spray with the adhesive. When it is all dry, put some cork board on the bottom (it is sticky on one side, so just cut it to the right size and stick it on). Thats it! Very easy!
