Photos on Tiles

     One day while my family and I were out for a walk, I noticed a box of unused tiles sitting in a box by someone's trash. Well, I am not one to pass by something I could use- no matter where I find it. The box was so heavy, my hubby had to pick it up and since we were closer to my mom's house, we dropped the box off there. Eventually, the box made it to my house. And now the tile projects will begin!:) Here's the first one:

This is your basic 4.25"x4.25" bathroom tile. Can you see the potential here?

First, I cut a photo to size and put Mod Podge on the back of it and stuck it right in the center of the tile. Then I let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to let it dry. If you try to paint Mod Podge on top w/o giving the stuff underneath time to dry, you could end up with air bubbles.
Then I put a layer of Mod Podge on the top- painting it vertically. After some more drying time, I put another layer on top going horizontally. While the Mod Podge is drying, it looks hazy. Don't worry- it clears up when it's dry.

Painting on the Mod Podge 2 different directions gives it a canvas-like look when it dries.
I chose a photo of my parents, one of my dad with my younger son, and one of my mom with my older son as an Easter present for them. I placed the three tiles on little easels. Turned out pretty cute and was so simple! 

     Thanks for stopping by and God bless!
