Somethings I have made lately

Here are a few presents I have made for Christmas.  I have several others I will post about after Christmas is over but these I know the person who is receiving them probably won't see :)


These are coasters I made for Kid # 5's teacher



I already had the all the materials to make these. 

Here are another set I made to use as a game gift that I needed for our Christmas Eve celebration


These are both just tiles I bought at Lowe's.  Mod Podge, scrapbook paper and a stamp.  They were really very easy to make!

Edited to add :  I stamped the paper, did one coat of mod podge, added the paper, then 4 coats of mod podge over the paper, drying in between coats.  I have read you then can spray with a clear sealer.  I have also read that if you let the mod podge cure for a few weeks before using then it is water proof.  I opted to do this since I made mine in plenty of time for Christmas.

    I love these. I've seen these on Pinterest before and I keep saying that I'm going to make some but I haven't done it yet... maybe I need to take a trip to Lowe's and buy the tiles to motivate me!
