few things I made

Recommended Posts

the tiles/coasters are 4x4 and can be found at both Lowes and Home Depot.  Sorry about the pics...its tough to get a good shot of the mirror.  The tiles are sandblasted from the back and the mirror has the "B" blasted in the back with silver vinyl applied to the front.

the B design is a bit busy for me and kind of hard to read... but that might just be the photos

Sorry about the delay....yes they are glass tiles.  The stores in my area only have three colors to chose from.  If I recall they cost about $2 each.

I have thought about doing coasters from tile but was wondering if they would need to be sealed or anything.  If you sit a glass on the vinyl it looks like after time of getting wet the vinyl would start lifting.  What is you opinion on this?  Would you just use wal-mart clear coat on top?

Thanks

It probably wouldn't hurt to seal if the vinyl is applied to the top of the tile.  Although I know it has been a topic on this forum and some members had trouble with the sealant coming off.  You can do a search to learn more.

The glass tiles I made were sandblasted from the back to remove the thin layer that gives the tile its color.  It also etches into the glass and gives it a slight 3-D effect when viewed from the front.
