Photo Coasters

No one should ever have a glass on a table without a coaster. 

So make some pretty ones with unforgettable pictures.
Cast of characters:
















  • Bathroom tiles (Home Depot, like 10 cents a piece)
  • Little felt circles
  • Pictures
  • Scissors
  • Pictures
  • Glue
  • Super Glaze or whatever brand thick epoxy you'd like

Cut your pictures to fit inside the tiles. Put some glue on the tile.
















Put the pictures on the tiles.
















Next, mix the epoxy per the directions on the box and pour ontop of the picture and tile. 
Make sure to cover your surface well. Epoxy is a thick thick glaze.




















Smooth out and make sure it's evenly applied. 
Get rid of bubbles by blowing air in a straw at the epoxy.




















Allow to dry. They'll be dry to touch in 8 hours and solid by 72 hours.
















Make sure to move from the wet box below first. 
Or else, they'll literally stick to the box, like below. (Personal experience...)




















Finally, place a little felt sticker on the bottom in all corners, and done.
As soon as I find a way to peel the cardboard off the back, I"ll post a picture of the completed coasters.
