Here are some additional tips and tricks if you're going to try to make these DIY tile coasters:
You shouldn’t need to use a tile sealer if you’re working with ceramic or porcelain tiles. However, I was use marble – which is a porous stone and needs to be sealed before use. Otherwise there would be water rings on the marble coasters.
Even though I used a Sharpie to trace the tile onto the cardboard to make the template, I’d use a pencil if I were to do it again because the Sharpie left a black line on the edge of the tile.
You’ll see in the video that we were using the brush applicator version of the Rapid Fuse, we figured out later that the regular applicator is a little easier to apply to the felt sheets. If all you have is the brush applicator, that worked fine too! But if you’re buying it for these DIY tile coasters – grab the regular version.
After you glue on the felt backing onto the tile, wait for the glue to dry entirely before stacking the tile coasters. We found that the chemicals in the glue kind of left a mark on the tile next to it when it was stacked up if it wasn’t entirely dry. I’d play it safe a wait about a day. We were able to get the markings off with some elbow grease and mineral spirits.
