I have been dying to get this little project underway for a long time, and if you've seen my blog post on Servietten Technique & the workshop I attended then you'll know I am a big fan!
I had been waiting to get myself into gear mainly, for some of my other projects to subside and most importantly, I needed to get myself some tiles. The last point was the easiest part, yet I left that until last. However, I finally got myself in gear, and here is how my day turned out.
I had been thinking about making a vintage set of coasters for a while, something chic and timeless, and I came across this gorgeous print that I was just dying to use.
I chose four tiles, and covered them carefully, and waited for the undercoat of glue to dry (which I must say is this hardest part of this craft, because you just find yourself wanting to keep going through all the stages).
Then it was onto the top coat, covering the coasters with the glue to set the image onto the tile, then more drying.
Now I just need to do the final stages before they will be ready.
I think you'll agree with me when I say, they are looking pretty cool.

If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the look out for a new and interesting craft to take your fancy! It was while at the Knitting & Stitching show in October that I found Decopatch!
Having always been a great craft lover, when I saw the gorgeous signs & the gorgeous papers I was hooked, and I haven’t looked back since!
Doing Decopatch really is easy, just get your wooden sign, get your decopatch glue, cut your paper up into postage stamp sized pieces and glue! Glue the wood first, place the paper down, haphazardly (think collage!) and then glue over the top to seal it. It really is very easy, very addictive and looks very effective! (check out the picture above to see the effect)
You can decorate anything with the decopatch papers, from wooden signs to wooden tables, from wooden chairs to cardboard boxes. This is a new craft for me and I am still discovering all the many ways I can create a masterpiece out of paper.
Items can specifically be bought from places like Hobbycraft to start you off, but if you're anything like me, you'll soon be investigating on your own all the many things you can decopatch on.
