I wanted to share a few housewarming gifts I made for my son. The first gift are picture coasters. I bought clear glass tiles and mounted pictures on scrapbook paper and finished the back with black felt. I made the coaster holder out of wood and decorated it to match the coasters.

And the second craft is a picture mosaic. I had a picture blown up at Walgreens, then I cut up the photo to fit on 2x2 ceramic tiles I purchased at Menards. Then I glued the pictures to the tiles and after a lot of measuring, I glued the tiles to a canvas that I purchased at Goodwill. I painted the canvas black with acrylic craft paint. It was a fun project! I hope the kids enjoy their gifts as much as I enjoyed making them for them.
