Tile Coasters

It's craft night again! This time we're making tile coasters, inspired by Curbly.com. They used paper napkins, which may or may not have proved easier than using stiff craft paper, as we did. But it is hard to imagine anything being easier than this simple craft.

Just cut squares of your paper to the size of your tile (available at your local hardware store for about 14 cents each), and apply with Mod Podge. Now, this part is important: before putting on your top coat of Mod Podge, put your coasters under something heavy (the phone book works great -- it's basically the only reason I haven't recycled it yet) and let them dry thoroughly.

Once they're dry and free of bubbles, apply top coats of the Podge, letting it dry in between. Then add a felt footy to each corner of the underside of the tile, and you're done! Now I have six coordinating coasters that can also double as trivets in a pinch. Neat!
