How To Make Texas Tile Coasters
I’ve been wanting to make some tile coasters for quite a while now, I just haven’t decided, what I want to use. Scrapbook paper, a stamp, or paint something on the tile.
Well the hubby buying a huge coffee table for the living room with a big star in the middle decided for me.

Texas tile coasters would be perfect because it has a star, adds some color, need coasters to set drinks on, and I love painting and decorating with the Texas flag.
How To Make Texas Tile Coasters
First paint the lower right half of your tile red.
Paint the upper right half white.
Now paint the whole left half of your tile blue.
You can either paint a star, or use a stamp like I did to add my white star. (Coming later How to make a star stamp).
Using a drop of antiquing gel and water, paint over the whole top of your tile coasters getting in the grooves of the tile. Dap excess off with a soft cloth.
Once throughly dry add a coat of mod podge over the top of your painted tile coasters for protection, getting in the grooves of the tile.
So not to scratch up your furniture flip over your tile coasters once dry.

Cut little squares out of felt, and glue to the four corners of your tile.
Let dry, then flip back over and your diy Texas tile coasters are ready to be used, and won’t scratch up your table tops.

These turned out great! I love the rustic look that the antiquing gel gave them. I won’t lie though, I’d never even heard of antiquing gel before. I think I need to get me some of that stuff…
