Learn how to create DIY photo tile coasters easily and affordably! Stay with me as I walk you through this step-by-step tutorial, complete with supply links for your convenience. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my favorite DIY gifts for Christmas, Mother’s Day, Birthdays and more! It is also extremely affordable, easy and thoughtful. Instead of paying to order a custom photo gift, let me help you create your own for a fraction of the price. Stay with me to learn how to create this perfect personalized photo gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is now the third set of coasters I have made to gift, so I have the process perfected. They are beloved by grandparents (and parents too!). You could even make pet coasters a friend, collegiate school mascot themed coasters for a sibling, or use scrapbook paper for more generic & decorative coasters. The sky is the limit. For this set, I featured my baby girl on a set to gift to her great grandmother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the supplies to make these simple DIY photo tile coasters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Gather Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First up, you want to gather all your supplies. I ordered the photos through the Walgreens app for quick pick up. 4×6 prints were 39 cents\/piece, so the total for 4 was $1.56. You can also choose to re-size your photos to print as 4×4, but it was a bit more expensive so I decided to cut mine down myself. <\/p>\n\n\n

Next, I headed to Home Depot for the ceramic tiles. In the flooring aisle, I located the most inexpensive white square tiles<\/a> I could find. At 13 cents\/piece, the total for 4 was 52 cents. I told you this process was inexpensive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I found a set of multi colored felt sheets from Dollar Tree for $1.25. The felt will be used on the back of the tile coasters to prevent breaking, scratching, etc. I linked additional options from Amazon for both the felt and tiles here,<\/a> although more expensive than what I was able to find at Home Depot & Dollar Tree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had the rest of the supplies on hand from past craft projects, so my all in expenditure for a set of 4 of these coasters was about $3.50. Can’t beat that! These DIY photo tile coasters are truly the perfect affordable yet thoughtful gift. <\/p>\n\n\n
