To make, start by selecting a tile you like. You can pick them up at your local home improvement store for about a buck or two each. Then follow the tutorial from Craft Stylish and spray on a coat of satin polyurethane (available at craft and home improvement stores) for a durable, protective coat. Porous tiles like the Roman ones I used not only offer a nice texture and high quality look, but are better for absorbing the polyurethane. And finally, glue some thin cork material or rubber feet to the bottom of the coaster for that finishing touch.

If you don't use the polyurethane will these tiles absorb water? Here in the south we need coasters that are absorbent. Otherwise condensed moisture will run off the coasters onto the surface they are meant to protect.
where did you find those tiles? i have been searching for those exact ones for a different porject...
Hi Sonia,
My mom bought them at Home depot and I've seen them there too.
