Personalized Coasters from tiles

Here is a really inexpensive, but fun gift to give - so easy - can't wait to make more!

All you need:
tiles (Home Depot or Lowes)
scrapbook paper
photo of choice
mod podge
Brush a layer of mod podge onto the smooth side of the tile - top with scrapbook paper to fit. Let dry. Brush a layer of mod podge on top of the scrapbook paper - place your photo onto the tile and let dry. Brush another layer on top of the photo - let dry - add a couple of coats making sure it is all nice and smooth.

How cute would they be with a set of  4 photo tile coasters tied together with a ribbon - a  nice personal gift anyone would love. Here are 2 that I made. I plan to make some "themed" ones - like a set for summer - with swimming pics of the grands - a set for winter - using Christmas pics -
I am thinking trivets would be a nice idea as well - using the larger size tiles.
