I am trying to turn over a new leaf and post something every week. Sorry, I have been way too busy... This weeks project does not involve any stamping, but it shows a fun project to make coasters using 4 x 4 ceramic tiles and photographs.
Supplies Needed:
4 x 4 Travertine Ceramic Tile- available in boxes of 8-10 tiles for approx $7 at Home Depot- try and get the least pitted you can.
Modge Podge- Gloss finish glue
Foam brush
Tissue paper
8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock
Paper Trimmer
Removable adhesive
Newspaper
Karen Foster- 12 x 12 Adhesive Cork Sheets
E-6000 Glue
The most difficult part of this project is printing your photos onto the tissue paper. I have found that cutting the tissue paper down to 8 1/2 x 11 and adhereing it to a sheet of cardstock at the top and bottom, helps in guiding it through your printer, and for trimming. I hold the tissue and the cardstock together as I trim down the photos after they are printed. I then discard the cardstock.
As I say in the video, drying is key. I hope you enjoy!
Have a creative week!
Great coasters Laurel. I have not tried printing on to tissue.
