Tile Coasters

At my church we have a once a month craft day. I was asked to help out. There are 3 of us, and we each take a day once every few months. This last month I decided to do these tile coasters and they turned out so super cute!

I saw this idea on a blog called "Just a girl."

Go check out her blog!

I got these tiles at Lowe's. FYI: Home depot didn't have them.

They are 4x4, "Agora Almond" color.

They were only .41 cents each!

You'll need "StazOn" stamping ink, as well as "StazOn All Purpose Cleaner".

You can get both of these at Joann's of Michael's.

*The cleaner is a must. You can dab a little on your tile if you don't like the way your stamping turned out, and start over. Just have a package of baby wipes on hand to wipe your tile clean after applying the cleaner.

Place your stamp on the ink.

Center it on the tile and push down.

You'll need some felt for the bottom of the tile so it won't scratch the surfaces you use them on.
I used these felt blankets and cut them up into little squares.
You can purchase the pre-cut felt circles of squares as well.


Stick them to the back.


Tie a bow around your tiles along with a little tag so you can write who it's to and from.

I made my tag by cutting a small rectangle out of card stock. I stamped a flower on the tag and lightly brushed the corners of the card stock on my stamp pad.
Punch a hole in the tag with a hole punch and tie it onto the ribbon.


These are so easy and make great gifts!
Make a bunch now and store them away for Christmas Gifts. When you recieve an unexpected gift, you can pull out these babies, and quickly write their name on the tag :o)
Or make them for your children's teachers as an end of the year gift.

Easy Spring Hair Clips Part 2

This giveaway is closed!

We have a winner!

comment #16-Skye

Skye email me and I'll get those sent out to you!

As promised!
I showed you how to make easy flower hair clips made with scrap booking brads about a week ago. I promised I would show you how to make this little sweetheart below.

So here we go! I'm so excited!
(Oh, and you will have a chance to win all of these clips!)

I got these babies at Joann's, in the scrap booking embellishments section.

This set has the sweetest little cupcakes, strawberries, and orange slices you have ever seen!

Here is the glue I like to use for gluing the ribbon onto the clip. It's called Farbi-Tac, you can find it at Joann's as well.

For the bigger embellishments like the cupcakes, I like to use the alligator hair clips. You can get these at places like Sally's Beauty.

Measure and cut the needed amount of ribbon for the size of your hair clip. Put a nice line of glue all the way down the middle of the ribbon.

Starting with your clip open glue your ribbon face down, and bring it around the bottom of your clip...

keep following the hair clip around with your ribbon. Open the clip and bring your ribbon under.

It will look like this!

*tip-if your little one has fine hair these clips don't stay as well. cut a rectangular piece of felt and glue it to the inside of your clip so it won't slip in your little darlin's hair.

Take your embellishment...

tie a ribbon through the two holes.

Then just hot glue it to your ribbon covered hair clip!

Here are some sweet strawberry clips I made. They are smaller so I used the snap clips like I did in my first hairclip tutorial.

I hot glued the berries to a flower, and then onto the hair clip.

After your done making your clips take some card stock, cut two vertical slits for each clip, and you have yourself a nice little way to display these as gifts, or even to sell!

You could also make a hair clip holder with this easy tutorial.

I am giving these little beauties away! Leave a comment to let me know you are in! Trey and Lucy will pick a winner this Saturday. Good luck!

Lastly, I couldn't help but show you this little Easter clips I made for my Lucy.
They match her Sunday Easter dress perfectly.
