I've used napkins, wrapping paper. Never used resin. Just sprayed with clear sealer. Always used felt on the bottom so it wouldn't mark up table top or countertops.
This tile to coaster idea is a REALLY cute one...I especially loved the use of fabric for the design, and the added step of the resin seal, which most people probably wouldn't have bothered with, unless they were already familiar with mod podge... Honestly, the only tip that I could offer would be for the backings, and I realize that this is completely unsolicited advice, but it comes from a TON of first hand experience in trial and error, so hopefully it saves someone out there the extra time and frustration that I had to endure while learning the hard way... Sure, hot glue dots will work fairly well as "legs" for a little while, but they'll eventually come loose after a few mugs of hot coffee (if that), and the fabric will also be at risk of peeling up around the back edges, potentially causing the entire front to come loose... Basically, my point is this...If you really want these to last and/or you're planning to sell something similar, it would definitely be beneficial to use a coat of resin on the back as well, with rubber dots as "legs" instead...They're inexpensive, and can be found at any craft store, in a range of colors including clear...They can easily be added into the resin itself during the setting process (after removing all bubbles), and once it's finished hardening they'll be FAR less likely to come loose, or melt entirely, unlike the hot glue version... Personally, if I were planning to mass produce and sell something similar, give them as gifts, or even just to use them in my own home, I'd probably add color to the resin on the back side, that either matched or complimented the color in the fabric's design...This step would insure that the edges of the fabric were sealed tightly on all sides (with the added benefit of making the entire coaster water tight for easy cleanup and maintenance) while also concealing the area where the fabric was added on, as well as the rough, unfinished texture on the back of the tile...You can do this using anything from resin dyes or pigments, and mica powders, to even a small amount of acrylic paint...It all just depends on the overall look that you're going for...Hopefully these tips are helpful to someone out there...😊
I've never worked with resin but always wanted to. That is a gorgeous one of a kind set of coasters that given as a gift to the right person could have extreme sentimental value.
So true. Just imagine creating coasters/placemats/heat pads for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions. So fun. The possibilities are endless! Thanks to all you gals (and gents) for these great ideas!
I love this craft! Thank you for taking the time for showing us how to take inexpensive tile and extra fabric to create coasters. ❤ 🎨 ❤ For those who have shirts that np longer fit, or that have a rip, this could be a cool way to up-cycle a shirt. Again, thank you!! 😊
Brilliant idea. 😆 I work in a tile shop and we are selling larger hexagon tiles aswell as small ones. I will get some tomorrow. But will use clear lacquer on top instead of resin. Thanks anyway.
I like that, I have some scrap liberty fabric that would go in my newly decorated kitchen 😂 I am laughing cos I have started the big home makeover with a LOT of inspiration from Hometalk, Thank you all so much 💖🌸
I just love all the ideas your Home Talk channel comes up with, love these coasters. I would use felt or cork to make the feet, I like the idea of the cork adhesive backing instead of the glue.
I have a better idea. Cloth, hot glue, Scotchgard spray... done. Ta-dah! EZ-PZ! Less time, effort and money. Scotchgard is much better than decoupage-glue-soaked fabric. If you want a really good tough coat, get the Outdoor Scotchgard, the one for tents, umbrellas, and patio furniture.
Please don't reccomend Scotchgard to people. Watch the movie "Dark Waters" starring Mark Ruffalo. If you knew what exposure to the chemicals to these "wonder products" do to people, you'd chuck it into the garbage.
I never thought that you could use hodgepodge on fabric. Great idea! I have curtains like yours but mine are black and cream. I have a sheet in the same fabric that I can use. Thanks for the 💡!
I made refrigerator magnets with tile and all you need is magnets hot glue any beautiful letters , Hobby lobby has really pretty small letters and also have really pretty small flowers in bags by letters that make beautiful refrigerator magnets.
A thrift store by me, one that sells donated items, always has packs of ceramic or stone coasters for .25 to .75 and this would be a great way to switch them up! Thanks. 🙂
FYI taping the back with painter's tape before using the resin will eliminate the resin drips. cut the excess off of course before hand. Peel the tape off after dry and the drips come off with the tape making a smoother back for cork or legs.
It's an interesting idea, but the title is misleading. Yeah, the tile might be $7, but the fabric, Mod Podge, and epoxy resin will cost much more. It's almost like clickbait.
Hi Lisa! What a great idea!.I have some square pieces that are too small for coasters but I have some larger squares and I was thinking your idea might work for trivits but I'm not sure if that's a good idea either. I'm sure I'll figure something out lol! Thanks for sharing such a neat idea!
She’s making coasters immediately popped into my brain as soon as the video started. While they turned out beautifully, only continued watching in hopes that was wrong.
Thought it was interesting, then realized all of that shopping, materials, work, saved me from buying a really cute set of what, $20 coasters? Not dissing you girl, but also don't have the time for this.
Do you have nothing better to do with your time? Just go to dollar gen., Family dollar, Dollar tree, and buy this items. And you can save time, money, enjoy your LIFE.
At Dollar Tree they have cork sheets with adhesive backing. That would be good for the back instead of the glue.
Great idea! (If you live near a Dollar Tree. Regardless, the idea of cork on the back is great! ) 👋🏼🙋🏽♀️✌🏽
Rasheed a Williams what a great idea! Thank you! We have a dollar store near here! 🌹👏💖🌹
@@SerenitynPeace you're welcome 😊
Great!
Or some felt.
That half box of white 4x4 tiles in my garage just became useful again. Great diy, can't wait to try it!
Same here, have a box if white tiles never used 😅
Yes and the time and money you have to spend to make four coasters.
I've used napkins, wrapping paper. Never used resin. Just sprayed with clear sealer. Always used felt on the bottom so it wouldn't mark up table top or countertops.
Sprayed with something like polyurethane?
What a neat idea! This way you can make coasters to match your curtains!
Thank you so much for going nice and slow for us seniors 💙 💕 💖

Thanks for adding your experience. I'm sure it will be helpful to many, IF they decide to do something like this🤓
Thanks for the very helpful suggestions for making the backs as beautiful and watertight as the front!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 UP! I thought about the same thing for the legs and backsides 🤗
How do you keep it from running on the front side & ruining it?
I was wondering should you do the back first so not to mess up front
Excellent instructions, easy to follow, and thank you for not showing repetitive steps.
Simply beautiful. What a great idea and I love your choice of fabric.
I've never worked with resin but always wanted to. That is a gorgeous one of a kind set of coasters that given as a gift to the right person could have extreme sentimental value.
ALL resin will yellow or amber overtime. It’s best to use darker fabrics or paints with it. Then u won’t notice the yellowing.
@@kelleyhawk6595 Great tip👍 Thank you so much
@@kelleyhawk6595 would shalic work to seal it
Great idea and thanks for not endlessly showing up repetitive steps.
I like the choice of colors! Would be perfect for my coffee table!
So true. Just imagine creating coasters/placemats/heat pads for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions. So fun. The possibilities are endless! Thanks to all you gals (and gents) for these great ideas!
Very pretty! Would never have thought to use cloth. This I have to do!!

What a great idea! I'm always looking for ways to reuse old clothing that isn't nice enough to donate. Thanks for the tip. 👋🏼🙋🏽♀️✌🏽

I thought that would,work too...and much cheaper!
The bigger titles could be used for wall decor
@@barbraharvey9251 ...or placemats.
@@alinedeleandro123 or hot plates for pots and pans to be set on.
So many great ideas for uses!
Beautiful, Thank you for sharing have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤
Those are gorgeous!!! Love the idea!!
Very Pretty and Nice!! 💕Tiles can be used for sooo many wonderful ideas!!
If you count materials and TIME, it's a spendy set of coasters. But, if you had fun doing it, more power to you.
Lovely, but a lot of work for a few coasters!
All crafting is imho
Love the hex shape of the tiles and nice choice of fabric...
YOU COULD ALSO USE FELT. CAN ALSO USE THE FLAT CRYSTAL/ MARBLE STONES GLUE TO TILE
They turned out lovely Lisa. I was happily surprised, never having seen anything like that. Thanks.
You could also custom design accent tiles in your bathroom or kitchen.
You are a wonderful teacher and you make the steps to completion of the project easy to understand. 🌺
So pretty. Thank you!
Thank you Lisa, I always love your tricks & tips. 💛🌻
I like that, I have some scrap liberty fabric that would go in my newly decorated kitchen 😂 I am laughing cos I have started the big home makeover with a LOT of inspiration from Hometalk, Thank you all so much 💖🌸
Yeah, I have leftover tiles laying around everywhere...I've been wondering what to do with the pesky things...
Unimaginative. Coasters have been done to death on these DIY videos.
And, the more the merrier. All ideas are welcome.
Ingenious..and beautiful!
Omg great great idea!!!i do have some fabric that I love but too small for a napkin.. I will definitely try it!! Thank you for your video!!
Lovely, great idea and will last for ever
Very well done video! Thank You.
How do I stop the coffee mug from sticking to the tile. I'm having that problem with all my resin coasters. You did a great job.
Very nice ....I have square tiles will definitely give this a try
All that trouble for coasters? I pass
Loved I will definitely try it
I just have to say these fabric coaster's with resin is such a great idea, the shape of the tiles makes them extra special, thank you for sharing
Awesome idea and tutorial! Thanks!
With matching trivet! 😍
Beautiful coasters, and very do-able! 🥛💜🧁
Smart and pretty. 💙💙💙
Gorgeous! Great idea for my IKEA tea towel🥰
Love that idea. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Very pretty, but not practical for iced cold drinks, as the glasses sweat. I would so hang these on my wall in groupings!
What a sweet looking project! I’m impressed with the tactful suggestion to use coasters by making some!
Fantastic idea, they look stunning!
I love the pattern and colors in the tiles....
Beautiful! 😍
Thanks for sharing this with us here on UA-cam! This is a fabulous way to make all sorts of crafts. Thanks again!
I really like this craft idea. Thank you for sharing 🌻
For what you have spent you can by them for a couple of quid
Love this idea, thanks for sharing your creativity!!!
Tpm
I just love all the ideas your Home Talk channel comes up with, love these coasters. I would use felt or cork to make the feet, I like the idea of the cork adhesive backing instead of the glue.
Would also be a nice gift if you added an additional large tile as a heat resistant trivet .
Wow, absolutely beautiful work 😍
I actually thought you were going to use as a backsplash, who knew? Either way it would have been nice. Thanks for sharing.
I love your idea! I have the material I want to use already! Thank you! 😍👏💡😍👏💖💖
I have a better idea. Cloth, hot glue, Scotchgard spray... done. Ta-dah! EZ-PZ! Less time, effort and money. Scotchgard is much better than decoupage-glue-soaked fabric. If you want a really good tough coat, get the Outdoor Scotchgard, the one for tents, umbrellas, and patio furniture.
Plus ALL resins turn yellow in time so it kinda makes any light colors look yucky!
Please don't reccomend Scotchgard to people. Watch the movie "Dark Waters" starring Mark Ruffalo. If you knew what exposure to the chemicals to these "wonder products" do to people, you'd chuck it into the garbage.
So beautiful tx for your tutorial 👍👍😁
Great project!
Those are beautiful! Thank you so much
It's always good to add the modge podge a little on the over lap. It will make it easier to cut when dried.
I never thought that you could use hodgepodge on fabric. Great idea! I have curtains like yours but mine are black and cream. I have a sheet in the same fabric that I can use. Thanks for the 💡!

What a great tutorial. I would like more like this please

Thanks for sharing awesome diy...
Should have glues cork or felt on the backs.
FYI taping the back with painter's tape before using the resin will eliminate the resin drips. cut the excess off of course before hand. Peel the tape off after dry and the drips come off with the tape making a smoother back for cork or legs.
What kind of mod podge? Gloss flat????
Man! I made these with my son back in the 80’s! Was I an InfluenceR?
It's an interesting idea, but the title is misleading. Yeah, the tile might be $7, but the fabric, Mod Podge, and epoxy resin will cost much more.
It's almost like clickbait.
I absolutely love your beautiful home decor and I will do this for my home in a few days when I get some of the resin. :)
I like this. I'll put this on my list.
Perhaps Low Odor Polycrylic, cheaper too. At Walmart😁Great job on tiles! Backsplash or counter... here i come!
Hi Lisa! What a great idea!.I have some square pieces that are too small for coasters but I have some larger squares and I was thinking your idea might work for trivits but I'm not sure if that's a good idea either. I'm sure I'll figure something out lol! Thanks for sharing such a neat idea!
Would have to be safe for hot pans. Some things could cause fumes.
Awesome
Eehhhh.. the coasters are kinda crappy with the backs left unfinished! You could glue drawer liner to the bk or material OR ANYTHING! 🤨 I MEAN REALLY!
Thar is genius. Tanks for this great idea.😘
Lovely idea ❤
You likely got it @ Goodwill, but I liked the table runner better
Very pretty❤️
Beautiful
That's A great idea 💡 👍

You can’t use those as coasters. The minute your drink starts to sweat it will slide right off the coaster. What’s the solution?
Great idea
Do you have nothing better to do with your time? Just go to dollar gen., Family dollar, Dollar tree, and buy this items. And you can save time, money, enjoy your LIFE.
Good job!
Very nice!
Love ❤ thinking of SENTIMENTAL FAMILY FABRICS OR?
Probably be cheaper to simply BUY coasters.
I wish I didn’t have to wait 7 whole minutes just to find out these were coasters. This is why I tiktok.
Impressive! 👏🏻😁
