Christmas Project: Photo Coasters

These are great, easy Christmas presents!  I had 4 x 4 tiles left over from my shower installation, so hooray for repurposing.  The process is almost idential to the Alphabet Blocks, with an added step of finishing the project with a spray polyurethane varnish that makes the coasters waterproof.

Supply list:
Photos cut 1/4 less wide and tall than your tiles
Tiles
Scissors or cutting board
Small foam brush
Mod Podge glue -- matte or glossy
Sandpaper
Mod Podge sealent -- matte or glossy
Spray polyurethane
Felt pads

Instructions:
Cut photos to fit tiles, leaving an 1/8 inch border on each side.  Use a foam brush to apply a thin layer of Modge Podge glue to the tile and adhere the photo.  Let dry.  Sand the edges of the tiles if they are rough.  Lightly spray each block with Mod Podge sealent.  Apply 4 thin coats of sealent, allowing to dry between coats.  Apply 2 thin coats to the top and sides of the coaster, allowing to dry between coats.  Add felt pads on each corner to protect surfaces.
