It's decoupage time!

I know I have been woefully neglecting this blog. I have just been busy..and ummm...yeah, busy. Really I just wasn't feeling too creative I guess. Efforts to drop a few pounds have kept me from creating desserts in the kitchen and so on and so forth.

But I did have a project in mind...and I finally completed it! I had the idea to decoupage some Hipstamatic prints onto tiles for display around my home.

I am a bona fide Hipstamatic freak...I really do have an addiction to that phone app and it's about time I actually displayed some of the images from Hipstamatic instead of them living in infamy on my phone.

with the foam brush I carefully brushed the Mod Podge onto the back of the picture

Placing the picture onto the tile and carefully working out any bubbles and making sure the picture is glued well

drying onto the tile

carefully brush a coat of Mod Podge onto the top of the picture to seal it to the tile-I did two coats giving about 30 minutes in between coats

finished tiles!

Items needed:

Mod Podge...I think I bought the gloss one
foam brushes
tiles of your choosing-I bought some white tiles at Home Depot, I think they were around $.30 a tile.
photos-I did just printer printouts of the images
newspaper to protect work surface

I can't wait to get some stands to display these tiles around my home. They turned out much better than I was expecting. :-)
