I’m bringing back this post! I know it’s been quite a while since I tackled a good DIY project, but this one was a holiday favorite of mine! I originally shared this three years ago through a collaboration with Charlotte Russe on their blog. Since that blog no longer exists, I’ve received requests to share the instructions again, so here we are!
Who wouldn’t love Instagram coasters? They make fantastic gifts for:
– Your mom, with pictures of her kids or grandkids (though I’d probably just use my photos to remind her I’m the favorite).
– Your best friend, featuring pictures of your adventures together over the years.
– Your pet-loving sibling, like me, with photos of their furry babies.
– Your boyfriend, with pictures of you to remind him daily of his real treasure.
– And, of course, for that blogger in your life who needs a coaster set for their best #OOTD photos.
These coasters are perfect for anyone and are super easy to make! I actually need to make a new set myself and maybe one for Zack with my photos, so it’ll be like reminding him every morning to use a coaster with his coffee.
### DIY Instagram Photo Coasters
**Supplies:** White ceramic tiles, glossy Mod Podge, foam brushes, printed Instagram photos
1. Start by printing your photos. I used a service that prints them as squares, ready to go. If you’re using the tiles I did, make sure your prints are 4×4 inches.
2. When your photos arrive, clean your tiles thoroughly. It’s really frustrating to have something under your photo when you lay it down!
3. Use a sponge brush to cover your tile with two layers of Mod Podge, then place your photo on top. Let it dry.
4. Once it’s dry, apply another layer of Mod Podge over the image to seal and protect it from coffee rings. Be sure to make this layer very smooth for a nice finish, and let it dry for 24-48 hours before using.
