Instructions::
- Trim the photos so that they are 4x4 like the tiles.
- Using the foam brush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the coaster, making sure to spread all the way to the edges.
- Place your photo face up on top of the tile and smooth so there are no air bubbles.
- Apply another layer of Mod Podge to the top of the picture.
- Rough up the edges of the photo to match the rough edges of the tiles. (Note: I used my finger to give edges a distressed look. I just continuously ran my finger along the edges of the photo until I achieved the look I wanted. Since the paper is wet from the Mod Podge, it destructs fairly easily.)
- Set the tile aside to dry. (I sat my tiles face-up on red solo cups to dry so that the edges did not get stuck to the table.)
- Repeat steps 2-6 for other three tiles/photos and allow to Mod Podge to dry for several hours.
- Apply another coat of Mod Podge to the top all coasters and allow to dry for several hours.
- Repeat step 8 one more time.
- Cut your cork board into pieces that are slightly smaller than 4x4.
- Apply a thin layer of mod podge to the bottom of the coaster and one side of the cork board and push the two together. Allow a few hours to dry.
- Use or gift your coasters!

P.S. I've also used black and white photos to make coasters and they turned out really cool, too!
Those turned out great! I bet they loved them.
