Monogramed Decorative Coasters

So sorry I been busy all week taking care of the grandchildren and trying to kick a recurring sinus infection.

I am still designing decorative tile coasters and thought a monogram would be nice. I used the same supplies:
Ceramic tile, printed and solid scrapbook paper, Mod Podge and Krylon Clear Finish.

Apply Mod Podge to both the tile and the back of a 3 3/4 printed paper.
Place the paper on the tile and smooth it out to avoid bubbles.
Apply Mod Podge on the back of a 2 1/2" solid color letter (I used Cricut Classic Font) and place it on the printed paper. 
Apply Mod Podge to all about 4 times, letting it dry between applications. 
Spray the clear finish over the tile again about 4 times letting it dry between sprays.
When the tiles are completely dry, place felt adhesive pads on all 4 corners on the back of the decorative coaster.

These make great open house gifts and well as small wedding presents! Such fun to work on too!
