Full Circle Creations: Hand painted Field Tile Coasters...

Saturday, March 17, 2012

Hi Everyone! I hope your weekend is going well. I was going through my stash of items and came across some leftover field tile from a project I did about six years ago. So I decided to make some hand painted coasters. They are the easiest project!

There are nine 4x4 tumbled field tiles in this package.

I cleaned them off and hand painted numbers on four of them.....

...and love bird silhouettes on four others. I didn't do anything with the 9th tile.

Once the paint dried I sprayed them with three light coats of spar urethane.

I have a roll of cork leftover from some projects I did about 3 years ago, so I cut smaller squares out of it to go on the back side of the field tile. I used Gorilla Glue to attach the cork to the tile.

This type of Gorilla Glue requires you to dampen one side. So I wet down a paper towel and rubbed the back of the tile with it. Then applied the glue to the cork. Once I had the cork placed where I wanted it, I set it on a board and weighted it down leaving it to dry for about an hour.

And that's all it takes. Easy as can be!

Here's how they all look together.

Here they are showing two with the cork attached.

Ok both sets are bold and graphic BUT I think I like the birds the best. Or maybe I would want to display the 2 with the one of the birdie coaster. Great job!

Loving all of them but so love the birds. Great idea, and so very cute. Great sense of style. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best.

Such a cute idea. I discovered 100 sqaure feet of leftover deck tile, if only I could make coasters out of 3x6 tiles!

Love them! Very cute. The birds are definitely my favorite! This is a great project. Seems really easy - except I couldn't HAND-paint them.

Thanks for linking up to Romance on a Dime's TIOT!!

Okay...1) The birds are my favorite, 2) if I tried to freehand a bird it would look like a turtle. 3) I can't even find batteries at my house. Or my scissors. HOW do you keep stuff organized from 3 YEARS ago?!? I am in awe, ma'am. In awe.

Newest follower...hope some of your organization and creativity will rub off on me. Come visit me anytime!

~joy!

I love this project, Holly! I like both sets, but I think I'm partial to the numbers. I've been wanting some new coasters. I just may have to give this a try. Thanks for inspiring us at Show & Tell.
