Scrapbook Pages: Coasters

Coasters:

Scrapbook pages aren't just for the traditional scrapbooking. They are so versatile and so cheap.These are great gifts for teachers--think coasters for their cup of coffee. Great gifts for grandma and grandpa. Great neighbor gifts, great coaches gifts and they add that personal touch to your vacation home.

Here is what you need for version one.

• Your personalized 12x12 scrapbook page
• 4x4 tiles from home improvement store (get the cheap ones)
• Modge Podge (sold at crafts stores--I like the Matte finish)
• Sponge paint brush
• A hard edge (ruler, credit card, scraper, etc.)
• Newspapers

Instructions:

1. Design your project, publish, order and watch the mail.
2. Gather your supplies.
3. Cut the scrapbook page and measure each cut on a dry tile to make sure it fits. Sometimes 4x4 tiles are a little shy of 4 inches. Adjust image as needed. 
4. Spread the newspaper out to cover your work surface.
5. Following the direction on the Modge Podge, spread a think layer on the front side of the tile.
6. Carefully place the cut out scrapbook image on the tile as you desire.
7. Follow the direction on the Modge Podge bottle to adhere your image to your tiles by spreading a thin layer of Modge Podge on the tile.
8. Using the credit card (or another hard edged utensil) smooth out any bubbles in your design.
9. Let it dry and then put on a thin second coat making sure to remove any bubbles again.
10. Let dry.
11. Enjoy
