I just took a 6x6 tile and put a 4x6 photo on it adhering it with modge podge. This is what Brandy and I are doing for the grandparents (hope they don't peek) for Christmas. Some will stand with easels and others we will have hung with a ribbon.
Then I decided to take it a step farther: (second photo)
My mom has antique furniture from the 1800s and before so she doesn't like full glasses to sit directly on her furniture. She has coasters all over so I thought I would make her a set of coasters with her grandchildren on them. I put four coats of modgepodge and finished it with a gloss to give it more protection. I will also put felt rounds on the corners to protect the furniture from scratches. Great idea and I hope they will like it.
LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteSo Cute!!!!! I am so not creative like you are.
ReplyDeleteLove them!!! When you do the ribbon do you drill holes of adhere them to the back with something? I see these being made in our home soon :)
ReplyDeleteThe ribbon will actually be an illusion affect. You put one of those 3M brand sticky hangy things (aren't I good at using words?) on the back of the tile and use a glue gun to adhere the ribbon to the back and the tile will actually be hanging on a nail by the hook and the ribbon will be put on the wall by another nail. Does that make sense at all???? I hope it does.
ReplyDeleteso cute! they won't even want to put their drinks on them! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I have never used modge podge before. Do you put it over the photo? Or does that make it messed up? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou modge podge over the photo's. modge podge is a clear adhesive. It protects your pictures. You would ususally do several coats all over the tile. Super easy and modge podge is so fun and addicting.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
