Well, while things are baking and soaking, I figured I would share this mod podge project that I recently completed with you. I did a variation of this for my local paper using pictures, but today I am sharing the wallpaper version that I did for myself. I had this <a href="http://designaddictmom.blogspot.com/2010/05/moose-and-zee-themed-1st-birthday-party.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #dd8484;"><b>ferm living wallpaper</b></span></a> left over from when we papered a wall in our prior home and I was excited to finally use it!<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;">Getting Creative with Mod Podge: DIY Wallpaper Tile Coasters</span><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;"></span> <br /><br />I enjoyed doing this diy and I was thoroughly pleased with the results. Here are the details:<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;">Materials Needed:</span><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: medium;"></span> <br /><br />Tiles: I used  white subway tiles that I had left over from a building project. However, you can purchase inexpensive white tiles from your local hardware store.<br />Wallpaper: I used leftover wallpaper that I already had. If you do not have wallpaper, you can substitute wrapping paper or printed paper. You can also use pictures if you prefer. Remember, this diy can be tailored to suit any style or colour palette.<br /><br />An Exacto Knife or a pair of scissors if you are precise at making a straight line.<br /><br />Mod Podge Gloss Sealer:They are available at craft stores like Michaels, JoAnn Fabrics, or AC Moore.<br /><br />Craft Felt: It's a great idea to adhere felts to the back of the tiles so they will not scrape or damage any furniture. Craft felts can be purchased at Walmart or any of your local craft stores.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;">The Process:</span><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;"></span> <br /><br />Trace your tiles onto your photo or paper.<br /><br />Cut out the shape of your tile with an exacto knife or a pair of scissors. I left about 1/4 inch on each side because I wanted to see some of the tile as a border on each side.<br /><br />Apply a small amount of any type of liquid adhesive(available at craft stores or walmart) to each tile. Use your fingers to gently press your photo or paper into place. Allow each tile to dry for approximately 20 minutes.<br /><br />While they are drying using an extra tile, cut out felt shapes to place on the back of each tile.<br /><br />Apply mod podge gloss sealant to each tile after it is dry. Repeat the process about 5 times allowing 20 minutes of drying time between each application.<br /><br />When your tiles are thoroughly dry, apply precut felt to the back with an adhesive of your choice. Wait a day before using the coasters or before wrapping them as gifts.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;">The Results/Setting the Table with Mod Podge  Tiles:</span><br /><span style="background-color: #ffc000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilwfN55CY_Y137aZSq4s14BrHH_f41SS6qLgMSS-cY2aOPYb2x37PqL3Vas3D-qTm279CYQhYKgGSOsuPOfRgolBFGVhVSkoTeKvO7phFlzmW4bdWuPjpMQ386IAhPfpcy_8v42IE2C9jR/s1600-h/Photo%252520Nov%25252028%25252C%25252011%25252047%25252007%252520AM%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img alt="mod podge diy coasters with ferm living wallpaper" border="0" height="531" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXp2P6A3-GmZMKS25XPWwGd_OfnIaUjfTk9wKCcSz5aaNJ1AApTjfilGX3LAvgTNPYOE5_TQMCUlAaGc06W_GITvokviwrhz9wE0xSar0dkwItl2aHVAgmtt8CHZpjqJC_hUw4i8dx5sIz/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="mod podge diy coasters with ferm living wallpaper" width="693" /></a><br />A peek at our Thanksgiving table. I kept the utensils off because the boys tend to think all sharp things are toys.  The tiles look fab and pick up on the green from the plates which I already had and they were purchased from CB2 a couple years ago.  Don’t you just love that table covering? It’s a vintage laminated fabric that I scored at Hancock Fabrics some months ago! Oh, the table runner was a purchase from Pier 1 years ago and the chargers are from Target. The napkins are Kate Spade and guess what, I spent nada for this table setting. I used what I had and hoped it would all work together<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yRgglF9DJ5k/UpeAx7hndkI/AAAAAAAAIeQ/hBJIngjGTrQ/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />.  Have you used mod podge before?

Mine, but I love it! I was trying to locate a before picture(prior to the wallpaper going up), but was unable to find one. Nonetheless, it was a boring beige space and was screaming out for something delightful… I purchased this Seabrook wallpaper from a local design store. Though I am not a floral person, the colours and the mod vibe that this wallpaper exude really appeal to me.  I pulled out my paint brushes and rollers over this Labor Day weekend and painted the ceiling and that little hallway that leads to the powder room. I matched the green in the wallpaper and I think it brightens up the hallway beautifully.  There is no natural light in that area of the house so a pop was needed. The paint colour is Benjamin Moore Jive Clive #7766. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcSGKG84l8IWY6DjhYD3Ygt46DjPMApM8_jrDVRLdzren7dKHdHRArzcsyChoHSEfbMVPWrKChuzUStst4hHX_5sTXKa2jBMA6BsfBSiQpwobVd5CN31YlcttxMsQxhvbhnU90rPVryMIN/s1600-h/IMG_1682%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1682" border="0" height="777" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Tj1deqLczdn87JK5wZShwvd_qiRdy2UeA7KngplQgZWYazcXdPBmqLRGxaCv3VaeBhC7eyEe6nczvPJ7U-IKOpLzGEfEZwjTbWhyxo3fotIXD0B9016-K2rM0kBv3NIUMHfUrCmuMzGY/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_1682" width="584" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">a <strong><u><span style="color: #9bbb59;">before</span></u></strong> pic of the hallway</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhXaJlcMiItHPpTFtJwmZiM8G_VCUlOtduzb6a0_9k0smxNJuk8FC8_GPAvBykocb7v7kFGk5g_27Jxe6bio9JTLCi5OGtT4o68soPIvH3R0SqrOvSQ33I0xIB6L9cQRp7w_OVsM20TvB/s1600-h/IMG_1683%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1683" border="0" height="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFf76CHHRoybwI6QHvRZ1TggweLG4GoCXExB3KWQWIAa7RnxTi8StwxikyhG3FEj650mh9Vo-uqEalQzzXrZxgvMkC0QyWs7m4WfOIfkxpD89oxSrb0CLVqYuIJSjYobwju8YaucGbUW6k/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_1683" width="600" /></a></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfOZcqo4cfUaF1Rl74ELuy2PCO-JWo7B8BobxCYzL749hhzWFO4yIPup1bPm_fa2vdS_w0GbgPU7M7G9rHu-Kb5sI0-fFCQojOcm9XYU88YokaShoxUm0u46mPFC9FshhTNJfatIG0g5S/s1600-h/IMG_1702%25255B19%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1702" border="0" height="849" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgraCGdtuzQewezrmUM8p3FqaWnnJHyfwcgax1v-SSofJh-BboReV2q_yN8Mye59ZdwAzaA7fe82_JV6vdPgb0rVpF2am7_QB5Sn1ER1szs8LK3-iZg8anDfLZThd_Yk5nAzTnT6fixKcLW/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_1702" width="572" /></a></div><div align="center">The makeover is still in progress as I would love to accessorize the space starting by replacing this builder’s basic mirror. However, the space is so small that it has proven quite difficult to find a mirror small enough to fit this space. I wanted something with a little bit of a wow factor, but I am still uncertain about what finish the frame should be? All the pieces in the powder room have a nickel  finish, but the light fixture above does have some brown in it. So, would a mirror with a gold frame be too contrasting OR should I stay in the nickel family? What about a mirror with a white frame? </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc6KqOyTUeYQuFOgHF9NpOyNx-7d2hc1xkdAh56stYsVi-2uTKFURKufygJC6Xmt_BxommB13ZAMnIJvo37lA5XCSjxBeDbXWYMd5ZA6nnsMXTB3RQok3NmRp91J3Gx-4gMqR50KUW6VZ/s1600-h/IMG_1706%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1706" border="0" height="499" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8uYDbPUgasX8sYkYW_uf_ICKRK9WU1Yj_9LBb4QC_3T6g2zJjWLS8hQcpG20aGYXelhtum55Jy2EN_NXzfv6WksFznhrFtWmj72PxgSdzCVCmcvSR9Q4uiDkpZGrDTXEmkchMm3ZZECav/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_1706" width="664" /></a></div><div align="center">a close up of the light though the pic is leaning…</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhM5bQGWeEiuPCyvBPGbkvAiJHpM1xhmHwMd37VJxEaL5RvnMqsHDchs3sCoSE4nFmLZ4-f_avNglNo7Eb_XpfxN2LePua3vOS1iwKToCI3d4c1ndISIX7aS1Se43TVDG5vAawfRjSAoUA/s1600-h/IMG_1712%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1712" border="0" height="837" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSDh2yu80NnU8JdYyeGvFDLwMGrYQcBEJRamaCf3tIP83Gho5iL1k9xp686hSWbwDzpVTGBBBjWgj76z52rdwNbV7BHy4fNqoyFSZEtsM0WC4SdngJYg1pMk303R9ofnR7oB2yeM24RCkZ/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_1712" width="579" /></a></div><div align="center">I never paid much attention to pocket doors until we built this house.
