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.

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
