Tile Coasters and Mini Album w/ Echo Park

I followed the instructions shown on the tutorial above, with a couple of exceptions. I used Spellbinders squares to cut my squares (I am somehow challenged when trying to cut squares with a paper trimmer!) and instead of felt pads I bought a pack of cork circles to adhere to the bottom ($2.99 from any hardware store)

The steps are basically:

1. Cut squares of paper to right size
2. Mod-podge the squares to the tiles making sure to get right to the edges
3. Apply 3 coats of Mod-Podge over the top of the paper
4. Spray with acrylic sealer

Here are some close-up shots.  These were supposed to be “rustic” looking so I was not concerned with the unfinished edges of the tiles, but you could of course paint them if you wanted a more even look.

I have shown this type of album many times before (album made from one single sheet of paper – see here for my tutorial) but this time I wanted to demonstrate how the “Noteworthy” Paper from the For the Record Collection was perfect for creating a special little notebook
