I have to give credit to an amazingly crafty 4th grade teacher at my school, I stole this idea from her. This ends up to be a VERY inexpensive gift (once you have the finishing spray and cork--which will go a loooong way) :) Leave it to teachers to always figure out the cheapest crafts!!
Materials needed:
Small porceline tiles (.14cents)
Cork contact paper ($10 a roll)
Glossy finishing spray ($8)
Paint brush
Scissors

1. Open up the napkin, cut apart into fours. (hopefully it is a napkin that has 4 images, rather than 2)
2. Mod Podge the napkin onto the tile, folding the edges and mod podging onto the back. I fold the corners like I'm wrapping a present. Putting a thick coat of Mod Podge over the top helps to give it a nice glossy finish.
3. Let dry (I lay on tinfoil)
4. Spray with finishing spray, let dry again. (FYI, the spray in the photo below didn't give a very glossy finish so I used Kryon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating 1303 Spray instead)
5. Cut squares of cork the size of your tiles. Peel off backing paper and stick to the underside of the tile coaster.
