Alcohol Coasters

I made these coasters for Christmas presents this year. Supplies needed are:

•  glossy ceramic tiles (found at Home Depot)
• Alcohol Ink by Adirondack (found at JoAnn's)
• a bottle of alcohol
• paint brushes
• paint for use on ceramics
• rubber feet (found at home depot)
• gloss coat

And here is how I did it:

1. Spread alcohol across the top of the tile with a paint brush. (This can be done sans the alcohol, the ink just doesn't spread as much, but still creates a cool look.)
2. Drop single droplets on top of the tile and watch it spread. Layer drops as they spread, or use single drops side by side and watch them collide. 
3. Once you have created the look you are going for, let it dry.
4. I used a semi-gloss clear coat and sprayed the top of the tiles to ensure it is set.
5. I used ceramic paint and painted the edges and the bottom of the tile. 
6. Once that was dry I applied the clear coat along the edges and the bottom of the tiles to ensure the paint is sealed in as well. 
7. Lastly I applied the rubber feet to the botom of the tiles to complete the look.

These coasters went over very well! I can't take all the credit, I found this great blog that had posted about it previously.
