Mod Podge Decorative Tiles

I've been making some more decorative tiles and thought I'd share a few more pictures in this tutorial.

Items needed:

• Mod Podge (available from art and craft stores, online, Spotlight, Lincraft, etc)
• Tile (or a surface to stick paper onto)
• Photo or paper to stick
• Sponge brush
• Flat container

First of all, make sure your tiles are clean and dry.  I am using 15x15cm recycled tiles that I picked up at a scrap yard.

You can print your own design or use photos for this project.  I printed in black ink on scrapbooking paper, and also printed in colour on photo paper.

Pour a small amount of Mod Podge into the flat container.  Using the sponge brush, cover the tile in a layer of Mod Podge.  This acts as the glue to stick your paper to the tile.

Carefully place your design onto the tile.  I cut mine so that there was a white border all around.

Allow to dry for about 30 minutes.  Using the sponge brush, paint another layer of Mod Podge over the top of the picture. It will appear cloudy at first, but it dries clear.This is the sealer which will protect your picture. If you would like a 'canvas' appearance, allow this coat to dry and then brush on another coat in the opposite direction.

Allow to dry completely.  Display either with a plate stand or attach a ribbon hanger to the back of the tile.
