Instructions

1. Use the foam brush to apply a layer of Modge Podge on each tile.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Leave the coasters to dry for about an hour.
5. 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.
6. Leave the coasters to dry then use them afterwards.

You may love Instagram and constantly print pictures from the site. But what do you do with the pictures once you print them? 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.
