This is my new favorite thing. My soon to be amazing SIL, Melanie, told me about decoupaging awhile ago and I had never heard or seen of it. Well, it's pretty cool. Basically, you cut out pictures; you glue the pictures onto an object; and then cover the object and pictures with a few coats of glue/decoupage medium to protect it. Check out this website if you want to see how many projects you can really do and all you need is the glue, Mod Podge.
We had a bunch of coasters laying around from when O's dad was redoing the tile in their house so I decided to test it out. I just cut out my favorite pieces of scrapbook paper to fit the tile and started glueing away...
Melanie & Craig just moved into their new place so I made them a little housewarming present
Plain tile
Different scrapbook pages with a few layers of mod podge
Finished product! I also added a protective water sealant on top of the coasters so cold drinks don't bleed through the paper.
What an awesome gift!!! You and Melanie are both so crafty!! I need to just come over one day to watch and learn!
