Another Fun Tile Creation!

Hello, all!

I wanted to share with you a quick little something I made that I absolutely love.

It’s another cute little tile!

I showed you how to make coasters from tiles a while back ago.

You can read about those HERE.

Well, I saw on another blog how to make coasters with tiles using rubber stamps instead of decoupage.

It looked so simple that I went to Lowe’s and bought some more tiles. And since I didn’t need any more coasters, I decided to make something else.

I used a black StazOn ink pad that I got half off at Hobby Lobby and a stamp that I have had for years in a closet. The StazOn ink is permanent and will not smear or come off . (Great for coasters.)

I stamped it in the middle of the tile and hot glued a little gingham bow to the top.

This little tile would be cute anywhere! You could hang it on a wall or sit in on a desk or dresser.

I decided to add something to the back so it could be hung on the wall.

I got my favorite material, burlap, and cut a square piece a little smaller than the tile.

I hot glued the burlap square to the back of the tile.

Then I used some jute string to make a “hanger” on the back. I hot glued the string in place.

To give it more of a “finished” look, I used some little decorative buttons I had left over from another project.

I hot glued the buttons over the ends of the jute string.

And now it is ready to hang!

But for now, I have enjoyed displaying it on my buffet table with my Christmas decorations.

I love black and white gingham. And this little tile matches my GW topiaries with gingham bows (that I added) in my hutch.

This project was so easy to do, and I am brainstorming some more little projects with tiles. I would like to use some bigger tiles next time. Wouldn’t they be cute monogrammed? Hmmm….

I am linking this post to all of my favorite parties throughout the week. If you need some inspiration, just check these out….
