What about glossy tiles?

[spedabstbit]

I've collected lots of info on tumbled tiles, but what I have on hand are some 2 x 2 glossy tiles that I'd like to decorate to make into magnets. I haven't seen much discussion on those. Any tips on stamping and coloring?

TIA,
Cindy

I did not use the 2x2 tiles (but I plan on doing those too) but I used a bigger rectangular one to use as a dry erase board. I used stazon and colored with fabrico markers. This was before I had every Sharpie know to man :lol: It can be propped up with a small picture easel or glue magnets on the back and put on the fridge. Use a velcro button and your dry erase pen is right there. I know you will get many more ideas on this great site, but thought I would put in my $$.

I love the 2 x 2 tiles.

I use staz-on to stamp the image and color it in with either my fabrico or sharpie markers. You could sponge on color with other staz on colors too. The sharpies might pull off some of the staz on ink. It seems to be the biggest problem with my yellow, and it makes the image muddy, so just be careful when you color it in.

To make magnets, be sur eto use the heavy duty magnets found in Home Depot. The others are not strong enough!
