I admit: I've been hoarding these pictures for a while now, but the holidays came and went in a whirlwind & I didn't want to post the pictures before the gifts were given. Makes sense, right? It does in my head too!
Easiest little project known to man. Porch & I headed to Home Depot (not so hard to convince him to join me in that adventure) and I picked up 4 ceramic tiles & felt floor protector thingys. Yes, thingys. I also grabbed some clear spray paint (but I had to get this in Wisconsin as you cannot purchase spray paint in the city of Chicago).
Step 1
Pick something to put on the tile -- a picture or scrapbook paper, something -- and glue that bad boy down onto the tile. I recommend the Zig Memory Glue (as seen here). Let it dry.
Step 2
Apply several coats of clear spray paint over time, allowing it to dry.
Step 3
Stick those felt floor protector thingys on all four corners (see Exhibit A).
Step 4
Wrap in a cute box.
Step 5
Enjoy watching friends & family open a quick & easy DIY gift that is sure to make them smile.
Step 6
Look for the coasters every. single. time you visit their house to make sure they're using them. If not, ask about them. People love that. ;)
Easy Peasy! Total cost? Let's call it about $5 per set.
