How to Make Doctor Who Coasters

I’m all for DIY projects, especially when they don’t cost a whole lot. I had seen a picture of some Orphan Black coasters that were made for the cast as gifts and thought, what a great idea! The http://thefrugalgirls.com tutorial is excellent for this, but I wanted to add in my own tips as well for you all.

First off, make sure you choose photos that fit the size of the tile. There were a few that I wanted to use but were too wide so I had to pick other photos. I printed my own photos at home unlike the Frugal Girls. I actually wound up using two types of photo paper. One was from Post-It and had adhesive on the back of the paper already. This actually made the paper curl, like in the photo below. To stop the curling I just put a book on top of the tile once I had put the Mod Podge glue on the back.

I know they say this on the Frugal Girls website, but really, do try to do even strokes when using the Mod Podge glue over the photos. It will show!

Something else I did different was the backing. I used sliding pads that you usually buy to put on the bottom of chair legs and such. I super glued these onto the four corners. Really super duper easy!

Remember, to check the 8 Reasons Why I Want My Nerd HQ post because I’m giving these coasters away to someone who has donated to the Nerd HQ Indiegogo campaign! Enjoy!
