Do you have a hard time finding a gift to make for grown-up people? Because I do. (And no, this isn't an infomercial). When my friend celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago (Happy Birthday Gen!) I went scouring through blogs trying to find something I could make, and I came along these.
They were super easy to make and I love how they turned out!
Instead of using napkins, I made some cute designs in photoshop and printed them on to cardstock.
They were simple and inexpensive...the only thing that took time was the drying. Her tutorial is great, so make sure to read hers if you're going to make them. The basic idea is you mod podge paper to the front of the tiles and also over the top of the paper to seal it. Then hot glue corkboard to the bottoms. And to finish, you spray with an acrylic sealer.
And yes, you can buy most of this (except tiles) at Walmart. The finishing spray was with the craft things and the corkboard was in stationary!
Voila! I am so happy to have a grown-up gift idea to add to the list. Linked at Today's Creative blog, Reinvented, Craft Edition, Silly Little Sparrow and soft place to land!
