Every year I try to give a neighbor gift to some of my neighbors and also I give a little homemade gift to my close friends.
This year my friend gift was Christmas coasters. I got the idea from a few different blogs (our computer blew up so I lost all my links).
First I bought 4 coasters for each of my friends.
I got the tiles from Lowes
Cost: $0.28 each tile
Next I bought a sheet of cork for the backs. Don't want the coasters scratching anyone's tables. I cut the cork so it fits on the back of tile.
Cost for the sheet of cork was under $1.00
Next I bought some Christmas napkins from Target. I think the cost for the napkins (pack of 25) was just under $2.00.
Cut the napkin so it fits on the tile. I just mine just a little bit smaller so a little bit of the tile was showing.
I then mod podged the napkin to the tile. It does bubble a little bit so you have to use the mod podge sparingly.
To finish off the tile I sprayed each one with a waterproof spray.
Word to the wise, if your going to spray the waterproofer outside make sure to have something underneath the tiles. Or else your cement will look like mine....
I didn't get a picture of all the tiles together but I tied four tiles together with a ribbon. You can kind of get the idea, I made the ribbon look like a present.
