DIY Photo Coaster
I used several other peoples ideas to create these coasters. I made about 30 of these to give as Christmas gifts and loved the way they turned out. This is a photo of my grandparents on their vacation out west, probably in the 1960's. They drove across country from Baltimore. I like the way the texture of the travertine tile shows through.
I used this bloggers idea of printing on tissue paper:

This is a utube video I watched showing how to print on tissue paper:

I used this bloggers idea of applying thick resin to the top:

This is the resin I used:

It was my idea to use travertine tile. Bought at Lowes Home Improvment, I think they came in a box of eight. Price was under $10 a box. They looked similar to this:
