It has been awhile since our last post. We have been busy working on opening up our Etsy shop and have gotten our first couple of sales, which has been fun!!
We've added some more items since we opened, check it out here!
Onto the tutorial of the day - DIY Coasters!
This is one of our favorite projects so far. There are endless options of what you can make design wise, so it can coordinate with any decor. Best of all, this project cost under $10 and only takes an hour or two (most of the time is spent waiting for the Mod Podge coats to dry).

| Supplies |
* 6 - 4.25" x 4.25" Porcelain tiles from Home Depot- they are only 13 cents each!
* Matte Mod Podge
* Felt or Cork (You'll need enough to cover each of the bottoms of the tiles)
* 2 sheets of 12" x 12" scrapbook paper of your choice
* Foam brush
* Adhesive/glue of choice (to glue paper on the tile)
* Krylon Clear Acrylic Sealer (sold at Michael's by the spray paint)
Tutorial
1. Cut out scrapbook paper to fit on the top of the tile.

2. Glue paper on each of the tiles. We used this Elmer's Craft Bond spray and it worked great!

3. Add 3 or 4 coats of Mod Podge over the paper to seal it in place. Wait about 20 minutes in between each coat of Mod Podge.
4. Once they have been sealed with Mod Podge spray on an acrylic sealer (got it at Michael's by the spray paint) to keep the coasters waterproof.

5. Cut squares of felt and glue them on the bottom of each tile to keep the coasters from scratching your furniture.
That's it!! How easy was that?! These can be done in any design and make great gifts!
