Mosaic Tile Coasters {Lowe’s Creative Idea}
Want an easy and inexpensive gift idea to give out as a hostess gift for those upcoming holiday parties? How about Mosaic Tile Coasters? They are quick and easy to make. Last month, for my Lowe’s Creative Idea I created a unique lamp shade with mosaic glass tile. I had some leftover sheets and decided to make these coasters with the leftovers. Follow along to learn how to make another great Lowe’s Creative Idea.
Materials:
- Mosaic tile sheet
- Cork
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks
- Ruler
- X-acto knife
- Pencil
Instructions:
Begin by cutting your mosaic tile sheet into coaster size squares.
Trim off any excess mesh.
Trace around the tile square onto the cork.
Use a metal ruler and x-acto knife to cut the cork.
Heat up the hot glue gun. When the glue is hot, spread a lot of the glue onto the back of the mesh.
Immediately press the cork onto the back of the tile before the glue can cool. Press down on the cork as the glue hardens.
Make a set of four for the hostess with the mostest!
It’s an easy but pricey looking gift. What do you think?

Do you happen to know the brand of the tile used in this video. We put up a backsplash with it 5 years ago and need a few feet for a remodel project. We have been looking for weeks to try and identify it. Lowes hasn’t been able to help, it’s too old for them.
Sorry I don’t.
Would this work on a ceramic tile?
I don’t see why not! Try it.
I don’t want the mesh backing to show underneath the tile, would you be able to grout it?
I don’t see why not, you might have to tape around the edges until the grout dries.
Or hot pads maybe?
Thank you for this really cute and super simple project!!!
