Supplies Needed

Directions

1

Use a pen and trace the coaster on the cardboard so it’s the same size as the tile – then cut the square out of the cardboard.

2

Brush a coat of Mod Podge onto the back of the cardboard and place it on top of the tile smoothing out any bubbles.

3

Turn it over so the weight of the tile is on top and let it dry. If the edges pop up, be sure to press them down.

4

Let dry for about 15 minutes and apply 2-4 more layers of Mod Podge on top of the tiles, letting each layer dry in between coats.

5

After everything is onlinepletely dry, go back and sand down any rough edges.

6

Place the self-adhesive felt pads on the bottom of the tiles.

7

Finish by painting a coat of polycrylic protective finish clear over the top. This will protect your coaster and keep it lasting longer.

    I made some of these several years ago, after seeing your post of course! 😊 Some cardboard is thinner & easier to use, but honestly they have all held up for years with constant use! (I did the optional sealant which I’m sure helps!) Inspired me to make some with scrapbook paper (so many designs available, usually several sheets for a dollar) and pages from old books that were going to be donated anyway.

      Oh yay! So fun!

    Amazon also sells tile squares with a cork board backing to attach. I was even able to find a set that came with coaster holders.
