Step 2
Trace and cut four felt circles for each ceramic tile about ½-inch in diameter. You need four felt circles for each ceramic tile giving you a total of 16 felt circles.
This is what will help protect tables and other surfaces from getting scratched by the tiles.
Step 3
Glue felt circles to each corner of every tile.
Step 4
With the eraser side of the pencil, dip into the acrylic paint and paint a design onto the ceramic tile. Let acrylic paint completely.
Tip
You can use a stencil or freehand depending on your ability. A second coat of acrylic paint might be necessary depending on the design. Apply second coat after first coat has dried completely.
Step 5
In a well ventilated area, lightly spray your coasters with the clear finish. Two or three light coats will be plenty. Allow your coasters to dry for at least 24 hours.
