MARBLED TILE COASTERS


By Linda Reid

   These gorgeous tiles make great coasters and lovely gifts. You can even hang one on a wall or incorporate them into a backsplash.

Linda's directions:
1. Wipe off dust from tile surface.
2. Apply backgrond colors of your choice using Fresco/Colorbox Fluid chalks. You can apply the color with your fingers, sponges or stipple brushes or simply wipe the pad on the tile.
3. Heat set with a heat tool.
4. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge or decoupage medium with a brush, coating the tile. Allow to dry.
5. Using a light shade of the chalk pads, stamp a background image like a crackle design. Here we used stamps from the Beguiling Texts stamp plate.
6. Stamp main image with StazOn or Document black ink. Heat set.
7. Seal with a final coat of Mod Podge, acrylic spray or Diamond Glaze.
If using as a coaster, you can put some cork dots on the bottom to protect the table.
