A Housewarming Gift

By Jordan | Projects

Author:  Spring (Autumn)

One of our friends and neighbors is moving to a downtown loft.  I wanted to make a special little house warming gift for her and decided to make coasters.  I had a lot of luck making coasters with our custom-made monogram, here, that I decided to make a set for her.

I saw this idea on Pinterest a couple months ago. First, I bought some inexpensive floor tiles at the home improvement store.  And while I was there, I picked up some paint chips in her colors.

I assembled the products I needed.

I cut the paint chips the same size as the tiles.  Then I attached them with spray adhesive.

Once they were dry, I applied four coats of Mod Podge followed by a coat of glossy sealer.

I tied them up with a piece of twine to make a cute presentation.  I hope she likes them!
