Who am I?

Hi, I'm Cameron (aka Iffy), a stay at home mother to 4 beautiful children. My family is my life! I am not crafty by nature....but I am learning =D I will share my experiences with you(good & bad) with crafts, DIY, cooking, and life. I say what's on my mind, and remain honest, it's just who I am. Love it or leave it =D So follow me and see my progress as I document my journey, and If All Else Fails....at least you have gained a friend and gotten some great tips or maybe learned something new along the way!

DIY Tile Coasters & My Favorite Things Link Party~ #3

Pin It
So Father's Day is Sunday, have you made something for the "fathers" in your life yet?
If not, here is a simple yet useful craft gift that you still have time to make.
DIY Tile Coasters-great idea right?
Perfect for even the hardest man to give to.
I came across this idea over at living with lindsay
she has a really great blog you should check out if you haven't already.

I didn't take pictures through the process because,
 well I made them before I started blogging so
check out lindsay's tutorial here for more details & great tips!

Basically,
Paint your tiles with a layer of ModPodge
then lay your craft paper(which is cut slightly smaller than your tiles) ontop,
smooth down & let dry.
Then apply your ModPodge top coats(personal preference as to how many).
Stick felt pads to corners of underside &
you're done!
A fabulous gift your dad, husband, or any other father you know will sure to love.

    Hi Iffy,
    Finally had a moment to link up! I tried adding your button code to my link party page but it isn't working...the code is wrong. I'm sending you an email with the code to fix it...(it wouldn't let me enter it here.)

    Adorable coasters too!

    @freckled laundryJami, thank you I thought I had fixed the issue but apparently not. Thank you for your help, let me know if you have any problems with it. Thanks for linking up-I LOVE the lavender! I am trying to pick a pretty grey-lav for my master bath. Very pretty!
