I am making different sets of marble coasters to give as gifts for Christmas. They make great hostess gifts too. YOu can purchase the tumbled marble tiles at home stores or floor stores. Do not use glazed tiles though if you wish to make absorbent tiles to use for beverage glasses. The nice smooth marble tiles (less pitty holes) cost a little more, $1 each.
Wipe the dust off with a damp washcloth before you begin.
I used black Stazon inkpad to stamp image. Allow to dry thoroughly. Then I used a applicators to lightly dab Stazon colors for the flower and leaf. If it is too thick, you can dab with a paper towel. I didn't try to make it look perfect...I like the color bleeding over the lines a bit.
I then glued square pieces of thin cork to the back.
