Decoupage scrapbooking paper and family photos on ceramic tiles

This is such a great gift and a very in-expensive gift but a gift that is extremely meaningful and will be a memorable gift for years to come.
Items needed:
1 .Mod Podge (Walmart-Yellow and Orange bottle-Matte finish)
2. Foam brushes (Walmart-same aisle as Modge Podge)
3. 5 1/2 inch tile from Lowes or Home Depot (Each tile runs about .70 cents)-get several these are fun to make
4. 4x6 Picture (use an original copy--printed copies from computer will not work) Never use your original or only copy. Make a couple of copies of your 4x6 to have on hand
5. Scrapbook paper of your choice. Mix and match the design of your paper-It adds a better look to your final look. Remember you only need a small amount of scrapbook paper. Your picture will cover up most of the scrapbook paper. The paper is only there for a small affect
6. Paper cutter to cut down scrapbook paper and picture. If you don't have one just use scissors
7. Wax paper to put your tile on
8. Ribbon if you would like to add to your finished product
9. Glue gun or fabric glue to add to the back of your tile. Bring two pieces around and tie a bow in front. I used wired ribbon. It works the best.
10. Remember once you put Modpodge over your entire tile you will not be able to see ANY of your scrapbook paper or your picture. That is okay. It will dry clear. Do not worry about putting too much.
11. Smooth out all paper as you go lightly with your finger.
12. Have fun...enjoy this project...and...If you have questions please email me. I would love to help. Gifts DO NOT have to be expensive to be the most meaningful gift you ever gave someone...Pictures speak a thousand words.
13....PLEASE send me a video response of your finished product. I would LOVE to see what you came up with...There are so many varities that you can do..be creative...
14. Try your technique on a 12x12 tile (tiles at home depot for 12x12 run about 1.09 per tile--cheap) Use a 5x7 photo and do the same thing. Maybe add a 5x7 to the top and 2 4x6 picture on the bottom.
15. Girls wouldn't this be fun to give to your friends...A special moment you had with them? Give one to each of your friends and know you didn't have to spend a lot of money to make such a great gift.
16. ENJOY
