Turn photos into beautiful coasters.

Show off some of your favorite photos by making them into coasters. Photo coasters make great gifts and fabulous conversation starters. You can use pictures of your kids, vacation photos of beautiful places or copy old photos and create coasters with those. If you don't want to use the actual photos, print out color copies of your photos on your computer so your originals will stay intact.

Things You'll Need

  • Old CDs, cork coasters or ceramic tiles
  • Copies of photos
  • Xyron adhesive
  • Modpodge decoupage medium
  • Sponge brush
