Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile Coasters

December 18, 2014 · 3 Comments

Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersChristmas is exactly one week away, and between lots of cookie orders I’ve been putting together my handmade Christmas gifts. It definitely was a big endeavor of mine, especially with being away on vacation for a week, but I choose simple yet thoughtful gifts that wouldn’t require much time, like the first handmade gift I shared, a painted mug which I packaged with fine tea for a dear friend. 

Coasters are great for a newlywed couple or new homeowners. When you make them yourself, it is a functional gift that becomes even more personal when you take the time to design something that matches their style or favorite hobbies. This handmade gift how to, is so simple you can do it even during this hectic week, and extremely affordable. You just need plain tiles, a printed design or photo from a computer, and a few delicate strokes of decoupage and time to dry.Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersI went for a sports theme, as my boyfriend’s brother is a big Dallas Cowboys football fan. I wanted to make these coasters a bit more classier, pretty enough for his new wife to want to use and display in her living area, rather than just have them in the man cave. Use words and quotes, old family photos, or pretty tissue paper to create coasters unique as your loved one, and like a mug, the possibilities for these gifted coasters are endless.Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile Coasters

You’ll Need

  • Tiles {found at Home Depot}
  • Multi-Surface Decoupage Gloss Finish or Mod Podge {I like Martha Stewart Crafts brand, they are non-toxic and dishwasher safe}
  • Soft Bristle Decoupage Brush
  • Design or Photos printed on regular printer paper
  • Scissors
  • Craft Paper or Newspaper for Workspace
  • Craft Paint {optional – use one for glass or ceramic}
  • Felt or Rubber Non-Slip Circles

Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersClean your tiles of dust, with rubbing alcohol. Print your designs or photos onto regular paper, and cut out to size.Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersApply a thin layer of decoupage onto tiles and back of printed designs. Place design onto tile carefully, as desired, and lightly run finger over to remove any air bubbles.

Allow to dry for 1 to 2 hours, then apply 3 thin coats of decoupage allowing 1 to 2 hours to dry between coats. It’s important to keep you layers of decoupage thin, so your finished coasters look clean. If you make a mistake, or have any drips, clean with soap and water.Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersI choose to paint the edges of my white tiles, since they were unfinished. If you choose to do the same, tape off the top for clean edges. Use 3 coats of paint, allowing about 30 minutes to dry between coats. Once paint on edges completely dries, carefully peel off tape, and brush a thin layer of decoupage around sides. Allow to dry overnight.Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersHandmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersBake tiles at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. This allows them to become permanent and water-resistant to any spills from glasses that will be placed atop. Place your non-slip rubber or felt circles in each corner of the tiles.Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersStack them up, and tie them together with ribbon to gift. Handmade Holiday: Decoupage Tile CoastersThese handmade coasters make the perfect gift for anyone on your list.

Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still ca Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still can’t believe that time has passed by & I’ve been lucky to have done her birthdays since she was 1. So here’s a little walk down memory lane to all her past sweet & fun parties🌸

• 4th Boho Butterfly Garden
• 3rd I Scream for Ice Cream Bash

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
