Who doesn’t love Instagram? You can use it to find friends, play with vintage style, and discover the latest happenings. If you are an Instagram lover like me, you’ll enjoy making this DIY craft. Instagram pictures are ideal for all kinds of crafts but this one is my absolute favorite! You can make coasters of food, funny photos, or even family photos. To say the least, your family will love them and your guests will want to know how you made them. The holidays are almost upon us so use these coasters to impress when entertaining.

Instructions
- Use the foam brush to apply a layer of Modge Podge on each tile.
- Place your Instagram photos and make sure they are centered. Modge Podge doesn’t dry quickly so you can realign your photos if they aren’t centered.
- Add another layer of Modge Podge on top of each photo to make sure the coasters are waterproof. Don’t be afraid of the layer the Modge Podge creates, it dries out.
- Leave the coasters to dry for about an hour.
- Spray the clear sealant to make them more water-resistant. Since you’ll be using the coasters for drinking, you have to ensure they are waterproof.
- Leave the coasters to dry then use them afterwards.

If your pictures are stacked on a shelf, get them and try this fun DIY craft. If they are still in your Instagram account, print them. You can make the coasters for your friends and give as gifts. You can also make themed coasters for thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s.
