Create a set of coasters or trivets for gift giving.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Begin by inking up your large background stamp with black Stazon™ ink and stamp your tile. Use a generous amount of pressure.
   
   Don’t worry if your result is somewhat blotchy. This will give your tile an antique worn look!

   

2. Step 2

   Stamp your main image using black Stazon™ Ink. Again, make sure you use a considerable amount of pressure.
   
   Allow the image to dry for about 10 minutes.
   

   

3. Step 3

   Using colored Stazon™ ink and a sponge dauber, begin to dab color onto your image. Do not rub, just dab.
   

   

4. Step 4

   Use a second color to add depth. Allow the coaster to dry for about 10 minutes.

   Add four small or medium felt pads to the corners of the underside of each coaster to protect furniture during use. These felt pads are available at your home improvement store as well.
   

   

7. Step 6

   Make these in sets of four and group them together to give as gifts.
