do you have any leftover tile from a recent
renovation project here's how to make tile coasters here's what you need leftover
tile mine was a marble hexagon tile sealer scissors a foam brush Sharpie or a pencil
felt sheets I use nine by twelve sheets and gray and some glue I used Daps rapid fuse glue
which is super great first up you'll need to remove the backing from the tile we found it
easiest to use a heat gun which activated the glue that held the backing on the tile and
it really made it easy to peel it off next you need to seal your tile you just brush down
with a foam brush wait five to seven minutes and then wipe it off you won't need to do this
if you're using ceramic tile next you're going to trace the tile on cardboard preferably
with a pencil not a Sharpie like I did and then you're measure a quarter inch in on all
sides before creating your cardboard template next step you'll just trace the cardboard
template under the felt and then cut it out these will be attached to the bottom of your
coasters you'll see here that I started with those black scissors those are just regular
old scissors it wasn't working very well so I switched to my tonic scissors made by Tim Holtz
they worked much better now it's time to glue the felt onto the back of the coasters I use Daps
rapid fuse you'll see here that I'm using the brush applicator actually determines later on that
the regular applicator for Daps rapid fuse works a lot better it was a little easier to apply but
the brush did work fine I would recommend waiting for the glue to dry entirely before stacking the
tiles we found that some of the chemicals in the glue kind of left a mark on the tile of next
to it if it was stacked and it wasn't entirely dry these tile coasters make great gifts too
