This was super easy to do. I needed a sponge brush, Mod Podge, coasters, and the pictures.
First, I cut the pictures to the size I wanted.
Next, I put a layer of Mod Podge down on the coaster followed by the picture I wanted on that coaster making sure to get all the bubbles out. Then, I waited until that was dry before I put a layer of Mod Podge on top of the picture. After that layer was dry, I sanded the edges so they wouldn't be bigger than the coaster and peel off, then I put one more layer of Mod Podge down just to make sure the picture wouldn't come up or get ruined. Here is the finished product - obviously the last layer of Mod Podge is still drying! I love our memories of New York City!
I love the way they came out! I already have plans for Christmas gifts with some different pictures although one small change I will make will be to cut the picture a little smaller than the coaster so it doesn't have rough edges. I will post those when they are done too!
Happy crafting!

These turned out great! I think they would make great Christmas gifts.

Have a great day!
I love the edges! The distressed edge looks really cool, I wouldn't change that. Although, running an ink pad along the edges might be cool, too. I want to use this for Christmas gifts, too! Great idea!
