That looks like a neat idea. I haven't tried the tiles yet but looks like fun to put a picture on them.

I had forgotton about this technique. I remember doing same on decorative pieces of wood. Thanks for posting it.

Hi there!
I am really, really new to this site, so I am hoping that I am replying to this thread correctly.
I've made tile coasters before with my son when he was little. But, all I did was go to Home Depot and get tiles from the bathroom section of the store. They came out ok, but they definately had that unfinshed tile look. So, I'm wondering if "Tumbled Tiles" are something different? They look so nice in the photo- can someone please tell me where to get them and what I'm looking for?

Thanks so much!
Jessica

You can get tumbled tiles at Lowe's or Home Depot. I can't remember the spelling of the ones I buy, but it is something like Botticia? I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[zonian3]

Yes you buy them at Lowes they are called Botticino. I also wanted to make trivits to go along with my coasters. They didn't have the tumbled tiles in that size but I was allowed to special order 4 for $8.50. I won't be making these with a picture but I thought it was a good deal especially when they allowed me to order so few. Good luck!!

I really like this idea but I don't know what a tumbled tile is or where to find one.

I printed pictures on velum. I used modge podge type material and sucessfully adhered the photo to the tile, but then the ink smeared when I tried to coat the top of the picture with modge podge. Any hints?

I wonder if you printed your picture on the vellum then quickly added clear embossing powder and heat set and seal the ink and to keep it from smearing when the modge podge was applied? Do you think that might work? I haven't made these yet but have been thinking about it

I have been dying to do this forever. Thank you for the link. This will definitely be a grandparents gift!

Thank for sharing this; it looks so cool!

I have had things smear with Vellum before also especially any kind of stamping on it. Its very slick, even the texured velum. Maybe the tissue is the trick because its not slick. I would give that a try. Hope it works.
