Can you believe that up until just a few days ago I had never Mod Podged anything? Neither can I.
So I decided to get my feet wet with the easiest Mod Podge project ever: coasters!
We currently have three different “kinds” of coasters in our home. Notice how I didn’t say “sets”? Coasters in my house tend to wander off, never to be seen again. I believe they’ve started a commune somewhere with all of the socks that never emerge from the dryer. We definitely needed some coasters.
I found some cute scrapbook paper and bought some cheap ($0.16 each) white ceramic tiles at Home Depot. I adhered pieces of my scrapbook paper to the tile with Mod Podge. Then I brushed another coat on top. When they were dry, I sprayed them with a couple coats of clear acrylic sealer.
I cut out pieces of adhesive backed cork for the backside. Easy peasy.
Now, I just need to make a set to coordinate with each room.
What’s your favorite Mod Podge project? I’m itching to Mod Podge some more!
Linking this post up to some of these creative blogs.
These have turned out so cute! Ha! And what a coincidence - I also just posted my very first ever mod podge project on my blog... Funny...
ReplyDeleteSo very cute coasters! Mod Podge is sorta irresistible- you want to use it more and more!
ReplyDeleteCould you use mod podge to do plates like this? I want to hang plates in my kitchen, but can't find any I like....is it possible to use it with fabric as well as paper??
ReplyDeleteVert cute - and so easy!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! Never used mod podge before but it looks like a load of fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I might have to try this - my coasters are cheapie ones from the $1 bin (plus 50% off) at Michael's and they stick to any wet glass! haha I think they drive my guests crazy!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great. Welcome to the mad, mad world of Mod podge!!

ReplyDeleteSandra
I love ModPodge -I do tons with it!!
ReplyDeleteI like your coasters.
I've never used Mod Podge myself. Each time I decide to give it a go, I feel guilty about the project that I have pending. Seems it's paint or mosaic before I can Mod Podge!
ReplyDeleteYour coasters came out great!
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm pretty sure you can have your blogging license revoked if you don't use Mod Podge. :) Seriously, these are cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cute...I can't believe it was your first time with Mod Podge. I think the first time I used it I had to throw my craft away. It was a mess!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great!

I attempted to use Mod Podge and contact paper for an altered plastic clipboard yesterday and had nothing but bad luck. The Mod Podge resulted in "bubbled" paper and the "duck tape brand" contact paper (clear) would not stick when I tried to put that over paper instead of using paper with Mod Podge. I figure I just need a foam brush instead of a paint brush. Any ideas for me? :P
ReplyDeleteI'm a Mod Podge newbie too! I've been painting lots and lots of furniture lately and lining drawers with scrapbook paper, maps, whatever seems to go with the piece - just adds an extra touch and super easy!
