I've been making coasters

So I've been making coasters, I really want our flat to be homely but individual without spending out loads of money hence I have been dabbling a bit with make your own. Very simple things, such as making coasters, because I am not very creative but these have turned out okay. 

Things you will need: 
Bathroom Tiles 
Scrap book Paper 
PVA Glue 
Paintbrush 
Felt Pads 
Scissors 

Firstly you need to decide on your scrapbook paper choice and cut them to size according to the size of your tile, I gave mine a small white border from the tile itself. 

I then smothered the tile in glue and stuck the scrapbook paper on and painted more glue over the top (really layered it on!) 

I left the tiles to dry for 24 hours and knew it was ok to carry on because the top of the tile was rock hard, I then stick on some felt pads to the bottom of the tile giving it a bit of a lift. 


Below is my finished product and don't think they look to bad! I also recently painted a stencil on our table but I'm not so please with the outcome so I'm planning on doing something similar to this on that! Will let you know how it goes!
