I love these sweet little tile photo holders. I use them for holding recipes, place cards at the table, on buffet tables to identify dishes, to hold notes for my family... Sold them for $2.50 each or 2/$4, and sold a lot of them.

Really very easy! Get a sheet of the 2" mosaic tiles from your home improvement store. Look over the sheet to get one with the most smooth ones you can find. Peel off a tile, and smooth the back edges of the glue residue with a large emery board. Wipe all the dust off the tile. Either leave white, or use a direct-to paper technique with Chalk inks or Brilliance (my fav). Stamp any image in StazOn or other permanent ink. Color in with Sharpies if you want to. I used a glue stick to adhere glitter to the Santa hat. I used the stick-on gems on some as well. You can seal it or not as you want. Glue a 2" craft clothes pin on the back, about 1/4" from the bottom of the tile so it will lean back just a little when resting against the pin. Knock yourselves out! Just let me know when you post so I can enjoy your work!

Loved your idea!!! Can you tell me what kind of clip you used on the back of the tile please? I would love to make some of these for an upcoming craft sale
Thanks so much
