All you need for this project is:
Square white tiles, available at your local home improvement store for a really affordable price…these bad boys were 16 cents a piece…
Tissue paper in assorted colors: we stuck with fall colors, but our inspiration included blues and pinks and other colors too…totally up to you and your little crafters.
Mod Podge: any formula will do, but we chose to use Sparkle. After all, as LC and I always say, “Glitter makes everything better!”
The process is super-complicated. Are you ready for this? Cut out leaf shapes, attach them to the tiles using Mod Podge, and then give the whole thing a coat of Mod Podge once they’re dry. Simple, but oh-so-adorable, aren’t they?! And oh-so-doable for even the littlest of helpers, which is what I love best about them. Well, that and the fact that the project cost me a total of 64 cents.
I’m already thinking of the holiday possibilities…snowflakes? Trees? Snowmen? A tissue paper nativity? Hmm. Maybe that one’s a bit ambitious. Anyway, thanks to Inner Child Fun for the inspiration!

Those are adorable! I haven’t used mod podge much, except for my pumpkin disaster. So I guess it’s water proof? Do you have to put any kind of sealer over it?

Very cute! We found a box of old white tiles in a closet when we moved into our house, so I could cut 16 cents off the cost right there. Sounds like a perfect project for the kids to make for presents for the relatives this year!

Love the vibrant colors; I’m definitely wanting to make my own coasters and this version seems easy enough to try! So glad I found this at Happy Hour Projects.

This project inspired me but alas, I had a fail. Check it out so you don’t try this! 😉
